Our Monkey Quilt Takes Shape…
Today’s Fortune: Little often makes much. This fortune is true. For several weeks now, Mom has been swapping quilt blocks with friends in her Ravelry Pincushion Group. She has made several blocks and sent them out, and we have been receiving blocks little by little. Our latest blocks came from our friend thegirlpurls. She is my Auntie Lori, and she lives in California, with all those happy cows. She sent Mom three more blocks for our quilt. Auntie Lori also sent some extra fabrics and some very pretty sparkaly copper thread that Mom will use in her projects. And she…

Rawwwwwr!!!!!!!
Today’s Fortune: Be patient. Good things come to those who wait. This is a very true fortune! Dad had to wait a few days for the new camera lens he ordered, but when it got here it was really good! It was definitely worth being patient. He ordered the new lens from a company called Photojojo. This is a neat lens. It makes photos taken with Dad’s really good Nikon camera look like they were taken with one of his old-timey toy cameras. He was very glad to get it, because now he can take digital pictures that look like…

My Cool New Friend….
Today’s Fortune: A good deed will make you feel good. I got to do a good deed yesterday. I rescued my friend Guy from the box he was trapped in. Guy is the latest visitor in our Traveling Sock Monkey group. His box arrived yesterday in the mail. It was covered with all kinds of cool stuff. Guy is the last monkey to be visiting on the TSM tour, and he is the first guy monkey we have hosted. All of the other ones have been girls. Girls are fine, but it is nice to have somebody to do guy…

I’m Dharma’s Super Hero!!
Today’s Fortune: You will enjoy doing something different this coming weekend. That is good news! I can’t wait to see what I will get to do, because as far as I know, we don’t have any plans. Something different will be great fun! Speaking of great fun, I have received some wonderful gifts in the mail in the past several days! We got a belated Christmas present from our dear friend Gramma. She is my Auntie Lulu, and she lives in Brooklyn, which is in New York. She is an artist! She made us this wonderful porcelain bowl, with a…

Our Big Night Out at Big Truck Tacos!!
Today’s Fortune: In every enterprise, consider the outcome. This is very good advice. I just wish I’d gotten this fortune before I ate so much at Big Truck Tacos last night. We decided to go to Big Truck Tacos last night because they were celebrating their first night of being open with the new late hours. I read on Facebook that we should wear our Snuggies, but Mom said she did not have time to make me a Snuggie, so I decided to wear my pajamas instead. I found my pirate hat, which looks really good with my pajamas, so…

My Dad is Famous!!
Today’s Fortune: Your lost item will be found. That is a very good fortune. I can’t seem to locate my pirate hat, but if the cookies say it will turn up, I will just not worry about it. I still have plenty of time to find it before Talk Like a Pirate Day happens again. We have had a busy weekend. We rescued monkeys from Buchanan’s, but they need some surgery before we can tell everybody about them. Dad spent today taking some pictures. He has lots of cameras, and really enjoys photography. He is pretty good at it,…

The JDT Monkey Shines Club!!!
Today’s Fortune: Now is the time for your leadership skills to shine. Another great fortune! I enjoy getting to be the leader! Usually, Mom is the leader, but she does not feel good today, so I am on my own. She took me to Michael’s last Saturday, and she let me pick out some good stuff. I got stuff to make a really good valentine for Dharma, and I will probably start working on it this week. Mom also got me some more magnetic letters for the fridge, because Santa didn’t bring me quite enough to spell all the stuff…
