• With Great Power, Comes Great Fun……

    Today’s Fortune: You will always be surrounded by friends. This is good news, but I already pretty well figured that out. We keep getting the best stuff in the mail from our friends! Late last week, a squishy package arrived in our mailbox. It was from our friend Packrat400, who is also called Cheryl. Mom said she thought it was for me!! When I opened it up, there was a very nice card and a very pretty felted heart pin.  Those were for Mom.  The part that was for me was a guy named Mike Bison!!  He is something called…

  • Monet and Monkeys….

    Today’s Fortune: Happy news is on its way to you. Another great fortune!!  I can’t wait to see what happy news I get next!   It seems like happy news just follows me around.  I got lots of happy news over the last week or so.   It all came in the mailbox. First, I got some wonderful yarn from our friend Deborah.  Deborah is from a wonderful magical place called yarnmarket.com.  Yarn Market has every kind of yarn you can think of, plus they also have patterns, books, kits, needles and hooks.  They probably have everything in the Yarniverse there!  …

  • Down on the farm…..

    Today’s Fortune: If your desires are not extravagant, they will be granted. I love it when my fortunes give me me good news! I had to look up “extravagant”. It means “exceeding the bounds of reason, as actions, demands, opinions, or passions.” I think pretty much everything I want is within reason, except maybe the big John Deere tractor, so it sounds like I am going to have my desires granted! My desires were definitely granted last week. Mom bought me a whole package of farm animals! They are plastic, and they are very, very good. I got pigs, and…

  • Adult Supervision is no fun…..

    Today’s Fortune: Don’t ask, don’t say. Everything lies in silence. This is not a good fortune. I have been silent for way too long this time. I have not been able to blog since last Sunday!!! That is a whole week!! All because Mom worked all week, and she has been tired. When Mom is tired, I don’t get to blog, because she will not let me use the computer without Adult Supervision. She says there is all kinds of bad stuff on the internet, and so I have to have her nearby while I blog. That is not very…

  • 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…

  • The Hamburger Helper Cheerios NASCAR Guy….

    Today’s Fortune: You will have an unusual experience. My fortune was right again. Last week, my Mom made something called “Hamburger Helper.”  That is a thing that comes in a box, and is supposed to help your hamburger. It was not very helpful, because it was not very good.  It comes in lots of flavors, but this one was called “Beef Pasta”.  My mom makes something from scratch that she calls “Beef Noodle” that is much better.   But Hamburger Helper does have something that Mom doesn’t.  A cool box.   This box had a picture of a Cheerios NASCAR guy on…

  • Jungle Eggs and Easter Cows…..

    Today’s Fortune: Great treasures are in store for you. This fortune is one of the best ones I ever got! Yesterday was Easter, and the Easter Bunny came to visit, just like Mom said he would. I did not get to see him, but he left lots of good things, and he hid them very well. There were lots of jungle eggs with funny animal faces. I found a pink hippo hidden in some tall grassy things. There was an orange tiger hiding in the hedges.  Mom gave me a nice little basket that was just my size to put…
