• 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…

  • Hangin’ with Happy George….

    Today’s Fortune: Plan for many pleasures ahead. Once again, my fortune was right! And I’m just now starting to blog about all the fun stuff we did in the last two weeks! This is shaping up to be the most exciting summer ever! Today starts my tales of the Ashevegas Adventure! It will probably take a few days to tell about it all, because we did a lot of stuff there. When we first got to town, before we met up with any of the Tractor Girls, we had a covert sock monkey operation to tend to. A few years…

  • Happy Birthday, America!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Your hard work is about to pay off. Congratulations! Finally!!! I actually get to blog today!  I have worked very hard to get my photos from Ashevegas ready to blog about. We got home on Tuesday, but we have been so busy that Mom has not let me use her computer. We had to unpack, and Mom had to spend Wednesday working. Thursday, we spent all day putting our good vacation pictures on the computer, and telling all of our Tractor friends who didn’t get to come to Ashevegas all about the neat stuff we did, so they…

  • Ready for Tractor Travels!!

    Today’s Fortune: Your curious nature will take you someplace special. Wow! This fortune was right on the money! Yesterday, my curious nature (and my Mom) took us to Wal-Mart. We had to get my brother’s oil changed in his car. He is letting us drive it to Ashevegas, which is where my curious nature will take us tomorrow.   That way, we don’t have to go all the way back to the airport to rent a car. That will save us lots of time. His car is fun to ride in, but it is a long way to Ashevegas. I think…

  • The Friendly Skies….

    Today’s Fortune: You tend to spark the flame of enthusiasm in people. This fortune is very true. Lots of people seemed to be enthusiastic about me all day yesterday as we were traveling.  We made it to North Carolina safely. We arrived yesterday afternoon. The airplane trip was not scary at all. It was actually a lot of fun! We got to sit by a window, and me and Sassy took turns looking out at the ground, which was very far away. I tried to find my house, but Mom said we were already a long way from it. Sassy…

  • Leaving on a Jet Plane….

    Today’s Fortune: You will travel to far away places. I guess my fortune cookies know I’m going on a trip. We will be heading out for Fayetteville, North Carolina to visit my brother, and then we will go see the Tractor Girls next weekend at Ashevegas. It is just me and Mom and Sassy going though. Dad has to stay here. We wish he could come with us. Sassy and I have been so busy I hardly noticed that Mom didn’t let me blog for the last ten days! We’ve been doing all kinds of fun stuff. We went to…
