Goodbye, sweet Dharma Marmalade!!!
Today’s Fortune: It is easier to smile than to frown. Sometimes fortunes are completely wrong. Especially today. Today is the day that Dharma has to leave. Yesterday afternoon we started gathering up all of her things. We laid out all of her clothes so she could decide what she wanted to wear for her trip. She thought that the jammies sounded like the most comfortable thing to travel in. Me and Mom agreed. We also gathered up her keepsakes to put into her little treasure bag that she brought. I gave her one of my business cards because it had…

Friendship Bracelets……
Today’s Fortune: Friendship knows no boundaries. Today is Dharma’s last official day here. Tomorrow I will help her get packed up, and we will take her to the Post Office to head to the next stop on her TSM adventures. Today, we decided to make “friendship bracelets”. Those are bracelets you make and trade with your best friend in the whole world, and you both wear them to remind yourselves of your friend when you are not with them. I will think of Dharma every time I look at my bracelet, and she will think of me, too. First, we…

Spring Fashions for the Well-Dressed Monkey….
Today’s Fortune: Others are noticing your great beauty. I think this fortune must be for Dharma, because everyone can see how beautiful she is. People notice her everywhere we go! My Mom has been busy sewing stuff for Dharma, so she will be well dressed for the rest of her TSM adventures. Mom has made several things in addition to our karate suits and jammies. When Dharma first got here, we went to Joann’s to get fabric to make our clothes. Mom let us choose whatever we wanted. Dharma wanted a thing called a “kimono”. It is like a fancy…

Jammies and Cakesters…..
Today’s Fortune: For a good cause, wrongdoing may be virtuous. Hmmm…. I don’t know about that one. I think doing the wrong thing is wrong, no matter what. I would be tempted to follow this advice and keep Dharma here, because that would sure be a good cause, but it would wreck the TSM adventure for everybody, including Dharma, so I have to let her go, no matter how much I want her to stay. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. We are very much enjoying our last few days together. My Mom made us some very comfy clothes…

My First Kiss!!!
Today’s Fortune: An opportunity will present itself to you. Seize it. Last night was my official last date with Dharma. She will be leaving for her next stop on the TSM tour later this week. I am already missing her, and she has not even left yet. We went to Grand House for dinner. Dad let us order whatever we wanted from the menu. We decided to wear our new karate suits, since we have been wearing our sweaters for a while. Everybody really seemed to like them. People kept looking at us like they wanted to know where we…

The Karate Kids…..
Today’s Fortune: Now is the time to focus. Your goals are within reach. This is good advice. Maybe if I focus on my goals, I will not be focused on the fact that Dharma has to leave us next week. One of my goals was to get a good karate suit, and I have achieved that one! Mom finally got our suits finished! They are custom fit for us, and they are a million times better than that sad looking karate suit made for bears that we bought at Michaels. I do still wear the shorts from that suit,…

Tea for Four……
Today’s Fortune: You will receive praise for a job well done. This fortune was spot on! Dharma suggested that we have a tea party today, because we were kind of bored. Mom spent all day sewing stuff for us to wear, so she did not take us anyplace fun. I thought the idea of a tea party sounded silly, but it was what Dharma wanted, so I decided to do it right. Mom let me use her little teapot and dishes from one of her sushi sets. She also let me use some little cups that she uses for serving…
