Miss Mary Mwnci Arrives from the UK!!!
Today’s Fortune: You are always missed in your absence.
This is so true. I’ll bet a whole bunch of people have been missing me, because I have not been able to blog for four whole days!! Mom has been working a lot, and she has not had time to let me use her computer. I hope my blog friends still remember me!
A lot has happened since the last time I blogged! We have a new Traveling Sock Monkey at our house!! Her name is Miss Mary Mwnci. You do not pronounce her last name as “muh-win-see”, though. It is pronounced “muhn-kee”. Miss Mary is from a place called “Wales”, which is in the United Kingdom. She came clear across an ocean to stay at our house. She is very tiny, and she is all pink and white. She looks like ice cream. We cannot read her passport – it is written in a language called “Welsh.” It’s a good thing she speaks English, because we do not speak Welsh.
I introduced her to a bunch of the monkeys here. So far, she has met Bullseye, Calvin Klein, and Jack and Diane. I will introduce her to the geezers later. I don’t want to scare her away. She seems very quiet and shy.
Last night, Mom and Dad took us to Hideaway Pizza for dinner. We got to look at the menu, and I let Miss Mary choose. Miss Mary said she had never had fried mushrooms before. They were crispy on the outside, hot and tender on the inside, and came with a red sauce and ranch dressing for dipping. Yummy!
Uncle Phil and Aunt Karon came to dinner with us again. We got Miss Mary’s picture with Uncle Phil. She is the second Traveling Sock Monkey to get her picture with Uncle Phil, and I have decided that we will do that with all of the visiting monkeys, because Uncle Phil is the best monkey’s uncle ever! Uncle Phil travels a lot with his work, and Mom is going to make him his very own sock monkey to take on trips.
He even got shy little Miss Mary to wave for the camera!
We could not eat everything, which was good, because that means we got to have a To-Go box. Hideaway’s To-Go boxes are the best ever, because they have a Shmoo on them, and I love Shmoo!
We were just about to leave, when a whole group of very interesting people came in! They had all kinds of amazing outfits on. There was a Minnie Mouse, and there was a real live Indian Chief! Me and Miss Mary went over to get our pictures taken with them. We could not pass up that opportunity!
Miss Mary got to have her picture taken with the Chief, himself! That was a big event! Even though this is Oklahoma, you don’t run into an Indian Chief every day. Especially not at Hideaway Pizza.
We wondered what kind of tribal ritual they were on their way to, and they said they were on their way to a “Spring Dance.” I wonder if that’s anything like a Rain Dance. If so, I hope the Chief remembers to put his cool phone somewhere that it won’t get wet.

Hey Noah, it’s me Dharma!
I hope you are not missing me as much as I am missing you! I wish I could borrow your bowling shirt again soon.
I told mum to hurry up with your banana vest but she says she’s so busy right now she can’t keep up with everything.
I know she will do it, but we have to wait I guess. I know you be sooooooooo handsome in it.
Love and Peace to you Noah. Oh oh, and your Mum and Uncle Jeff!
Beth
best monkeys uncle…..I love it.

Noah,
I’m sure Phil is proud to be a monkey’s uncle. When he has his own sock monkey, you’ll have a cousin!
Miss Mary is quite stunning, and I agree with you. She reminds me of Neopolitan ice cream. Don’t have too much fun with her or Dharma will be jealous!
Your pal,
Big Monkey
P.S. Check out my blog because I went gambling this past weekend.

Hi Noah,
That sure is a strange way to spell monkey….. Mwnci. My son in law lived in Wales for a long time, but he was born in England. His name is Gwilym, but we call him Zack.
Did your mom knit you socks yet? I have some extra yarn. I could knit some for you. Just let me know how big your feet are, okay?

Dear ILOVESOCKMONKEYS,
Noah is more than welcome to come nap with us anytime. xoxo Baby G.
Noah
Hi, Grampa!
That would be lots of fun! Looks like monkeys enjoy taking naps at your house. It’s probably much better than moving. Love, Noah
Noah
Hi, Pam!
No, my mom did not knit me socks. She did not knit anybody socks. She keeps saying, “No socks!” I don’t know what she has against them. I think they would be cozy. Love, Noah
Noah
Hi, Big Monkey!
You are so lucky. I don’t get to go gambling. I can’t even blog without adult supervision. Love, Noah
Noah
Hi, Dharma!
I am missing you terribly, but I am trying to keep busy. Miss Mary is visiting. She is fun, but she is not nearly as fun as you are! I got you a really good card, but Mom keeps forgetting to mail it. She is a mess when she is working. Love, Noah

Noah,
When you are 21 years old, you can gamble. We’ll go win some big bananas then.
Take care,
Big Monkey
