• Steeped in History…..

    Today’s Fortune: Someone you know is waiting for your praise. This fortune must be talking about Mom. I should probably tell her what a good job she is doing packing the suitcase for our trip to Omaha. We will leave tomorrow morning, very early. We have something called a “layover” in Dallas. That means that we have to sit in the airport for a long time. We will not get to Omaha until 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. Mom says we could drive to Omaha faster than we will get there flying. But then she couldn’t knit on the way there. We…

  • We Get More Visitors!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will receive an unexpected visit. Hmmm… My fortune cookie was right about the visitor part, but so far, the visitors have all been expected. My brother (Aaron) and my sister-in-law (Adrianne) came out to see us. They are the ones we stayed with in North Carolina, so we just saw them, but Adrianne had never been to Oklahoma, so they decided to visit. Mom says they are a very cute couple, and I have to agree.  This is a picture of what they look like… They got to stay with us for five days.  The first day…

  • New Friends and New Furniture!!

    Today’s Fortune: He who climbs a ladder must begin at the first step. That is very good advice, as you will see.  I did not get to blog this weekend, because I was very busy.  I have been very busy ever since I got home from Ashevegas, actually.  I have new friends visiting, and I have been showing them around all over the state.  I will tell everyone about that very soon, but first I have to tell about my weekend!!   I made a new friend!!  And I got new furniture that is just my size!! We went to…

  • Hugging Pugs and Other Fun Stuff….

    Today’s Fortune: Others are attracted to your endearing warmth. This fortune is very true. Everywhere I went in North Carolina, people seemed to love me!  Even dogs seem to be attracted to my endearing warmth! After dinner at the Fiddlin’ Pig, we went to Puggerhugger’s house to take her boys home, and pick up her knitting so she could knit some at the hotel with Mom and Knittymac. I was very excited, because I got to meet all of the pugs that live at her house!! My very favorite is Easter. Easter is tan, and looks a lot like my…

  • Me & Darling Dharma at The Fiddlin’ Pig!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will become better acquainted with a coworker. I think that was supposed to be somebody else’s fortune, because I don’t have any coworkers. He must have gotten my cookie confused with somebody else’s. That’s okay. He does a pretty good job most of the time, so I will cut him some slack. Saturday evening, after a day of monkey fun and boring yarn shopping, we got to go have dinner at a place called The Fiddlin’ Pig. It was a Barbecue Birthday Bash for our friend Knittymac! We had the whole gang there! I checked out the…

  • Monkeys at Mast General Store….

    Today’s Fortune: One old friend is better than two new ones. I think this is a silly fortune. I don’t think you can have too many friends, ever. I have lots of old friends, but I always like making new ones. Saturday, June 27th was our only full day in Ashevegas, so we had to cram lots of fun into one day.  It started out with a trip to a place called Mast General Store. Mast is a wonderful place! They have all kinds of good stuff there. They had lots of monkeys there, including colorful sock monkeys that we…

  • Monkey Party at the Holiday Inn….

    Today’s Fortune: Stop searching. Happiness will come to you. Happiness always does come to me. When we finished up our visit to the Red Heel Monkey Shelter, we decided to go check into our hotel room. We were supposed to meet our friends Knittymac and Puggerhugger, but they called and said that they would be late, because they had car trouble, which didn’t sound like much fun at all. We went up to the hotel room, and me and Sassy and Mike Bison spent some time looking through the notebook that tells all about the hotel, while Mom unpacked all…
