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…

Bear Necessities for Monkeys….
Today’s Fortune: Promise only when you can deliver. That is a good fortune.

Looks like I should probably block some channels… I’m Noah’s mom. For those of you who follow his blog, you know that in addition to being the greatest sock monkey mom of all time, I occasionally knit a thing or two.
