• Pezzes and horses – but no fleas…..

    Today’s Fortune: You will have a very pleasant experience. I’m pretty sure this fortune will come true because I always have a very pleasant experience. Today was no different. In fact, I had too many of them to talk about in one day. The first pleasant experience was that it was cold today, and I got to wear my new baseball jacket.  It is very good.  I got it yesterday, but I will have to talk about getting it later, because there’s too much else to tell about.  The second pleasant experience was taking ValenTina to the Post Office! I…

  • Meet the Geezers (Part One)…..

    Today’s Fortune: Your greatest fortune is the large number of friends you have. Wow! Another fortune is right! I have so many friends now that I can’t even count them all, and it seems like every day I make some more friends! I am even starting to grow on the geezers here, which is good, because they were not very nice to me when I first got here. Most of the sock monkeys here at my house are very old. Mom has been collecting them for a long time. They live in our kitchen, because there is a lot of…

  • Dear John Deere……

    Today’s Fortune: You are quiet, adaptable, and sensitive to others. Today was not the funnest day ever, but I did not complain. I was just quiet and adaptable. This morning, Mom went to see another person called “Client”. This one was different from the one she saw yesterday. They all seem to have the same name, and when I do get to go, I have to stay in the Suburban, so I never get to meet them. Staying in the Suburban is no fun at all. When she was finally done with her meeting, Mom took me to a place…

  • Collection Notice…..

    Today’s Fortune: Wealth is a state of mind. That is an interesting fortune for today. I let Calvin Klein open the cookie, so we are sharing this fortune. I think he did a good job of cookie choosing. I spent a lot of the day hanging out with Calvin Klein.  I introduced him to everyone.  Even Valentina.  I did not find out anything about his gang yet.  He doesn’t seem to want to talk about it much.  We played with the new sock monkey Jack-in-the-box that Dad got for Mom a few weeks ago, and then Dad spent all afternoon…

  • I meet Calvin Klein…..

    Today’s Fortune: The time is right to make a new friend. This is my best fortune so far! Today we did a lot of boring stuff. Mom went to meet somebody named “Client” and did not take me. Then Dad needed to shop for some special stuff for making “backdrops” for his photography. Mom went to the paint store. I had to sit in the car a lot today. It was not much fun, except for when we went through the car wash, which was good. We went to the fabric store, but we did not get sister stuff this…

  • Hideaway Pizza!!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are far more influential than you think. That is an interesting thought to ponder. I’m not sure how much I have influenced anyone yet. I still don’t see any other sock monkeys while I’m on my adventures, but I am hoping maybe that will change. Today I get to critique another restaurant!! Mom says people actually get paid for doing this. I will have to look into that. That sounds like the job to have. Tonight we went to a place called Hideaway Pizza.  (That little clicky thing shows the location in Stillwater, Oklahoma. That is where…

  • My Asian Adventure…..

    Today’s Fortune: An unexpected event will soon make your life more interesting. Wow!!  I don’t know how my life could get more interesting, but my fortunes are mostly right, so I will look forward to this unexpected event.  We seem to have a lot of those around here. Last weekend, after we ate at Irma’s Burger Shack, we went to the Asian market to get me some fortune cookies, because Grand House did not know that we needed one for each day of the week.  The Asian market was very cool.  We saw so many wonderful things.  It was much…
