How to make a monkey….
Today’s Fortune: Now is the time to call loved ones at a distance. Share your news. This is good advice. We called my brother today. He is a grown-up, and he lives in North Carolina. His name is Aaron. He works for the Army, and he has been in a place called “Afghanistan”. He got back a couple of months ago. Afghanistan is a long way from here, and it is not a very happy place to be. There is a lot of fighting and stuff going on there. I think everyone there should get a monkey. Then they would…

Spiderman vs. Hello Kitty…..
Today’s Fortune: You will be thankful for the pleasures of the coming months. I’m sure that is true. There is lots of fun on the way with everybody who will be visiting here, and I am sure that I will be thankful for all the good fun. Me and Dharma are having a great time! My mom got us something called “Activity Books”. These are books that have puzzles and games and pictures to color. Mine is The Amazing Spiderman. He is the same guy as one of my pezzes, and he is also the guy that my lunchbox is…

I am on my guard…..
Today’s Fortune: A thrilling time ahead, be on your guard. That is a strange fortune. A thrilling time sounds good, but I’m not sure why I need to be on my guard about that. The guy who writes fortunes must be having a crummy day. Me and Dharma did not have a crummy day – ours was great! We had so much fun I almost forgot to blog today. I am really enjoying having her visiting us, and we may be getting another monkey friend soon. We will know more about that in a couple of days. Mom and Dad…

Bear Necessities for Monkeys….
Today’s Fortune: Promise only when you can deliver. That is a good fortune. I should show it to my Mom, because she has promised to make me and Dharma some sweaters as soon as she finishes her Noro coat, which should be today. We hope. Since we are going to be getting good sweaters, we thought it would be a good idea to review the book that has the sweater patterns. It is called The Knitted Teddy Bear. Don’t let the title fool you, though, because there are some really good things to make for monkeys in this book. The…

I lose my shirt….
Today’s Fortune: Don’t lose sight of what you want. I need to keep that in mind. I do wish my fortunes would give me some advice on how to make what I want happen, though. What I want is for Mom to hurry up and get me some clothes made. She needs to make some for Dharma, too, because Dharma has started borrowing mine! I don’t mind sharing, but she asked if she could wear my new bowling shirt while we played Farm, and she hasn’t offered to give it back yet. At least we got her a straw hat…

My hard work pays off….
Today’s Fortune: Your hard work is about to pay off. My fortunes are always right. Today is no different. My hard work paid off in a big way! I took yesterday off from blogging. I was just too tired. Yesterday we had a thing called “Daylight Savings Time”. Daylight Savings Time is supposed to give you an extra hour of daylight. As far as I can tell, we didn’t get an extra hour of anything. Instead, we lost an hour of sleep, which made us all feel tired and cranky. Mom says it takes a day or two to adjust…

A grand time at Grand House!!
Today’s Fortune: A quiet evening with friends is the best tonic for a long day. I spent a quiet evening with friends last night. Well, sort of quiet. Me and Dharma and Mom and Dad went to Grand House for dinner. Dharma and I got to dine by candlelight. It was very romantic. We had the shrimp lo mein, which was very tasty. We had shrimp lo mein on Thursday night, too, but it was from a different place and it was nowhere near as good as Grand House. We shared a plate. It was very romantic. After dinner, we…
