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…

A Taxing Week……
Today’s Fortune: As the purse is emptied the heart is filled. I think Mom is inclined to disagree with that fortune. Her purse is going to be mighty empty on Wednesday, and she does not seem to have a very glad heart about it. I have had almost no fun at all this week. Mom has been working on something called “taxes” all week, and it makes her very cranky. Taxes are where you have to send away a big chunk of your money. Mom says that we are sending them to “Uncle Sam.” I have not met Uncle Sam…

Another Treasure Hunt…..
Today’s Fortune: A change of scenery will give you a bright new outlook. This is a good fortune, and it is also very true. Mom took me to the flea market last weekend, and it did a lot to help cheer me up. Mom says I’m back to my old self, whatever that means. Dad was out of town last weekend, so me and Mom had to go to Buchanan’s without him. We missed having him along, but we had a very good time, anyway. I found all kinds of interesting things. The first thing I saw was a tall…

New Monkeys to Brighten the Day….
Today’s Fortune: Make two grins grow where there was only a frown before. That’s some good advice, I guess. I am starting to smile again, and fun things have been happening at my house. I just wish Dharma was here to share them with me. That’s the best part of having a best friend. Late last week, a big box came to my house. It was a good thing, because it helped cheer me up some. My Mom’s good friend Beth sent a whole lot of good stuff to us! She sent Mom some very pretty yarn in brown and…

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…
