• A collection of critters…..

    Today’s Fortune: Don’t forget you are always on our minds. I’m not sure what to think about that fortune. Maybe the fortune cookie people are thinking about me.  That’s kind of neat. This is part two of the fun stuff we did at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house last weekend. There was too much to put in one blog, so I decided to split it into three. Mom says that is a “trilogy.”   I looked up “trilogy” in the dictionary.  It says:  a series of three dramas or literary works or sometimes three musical compositions that are closely related…

  • My Grand Parents……

    Today’s Fortune: Your many hidden talents will become obvious to those around you. That fortune is very true! I have recently learned that I have talents even I didn’t know I had! Last weekend we went to see my Dad’s Mom and Dad. They are called “Grandma” and “Grandpa.” They are “grandparents”. Grandparents are even better than grandbabies. Grandparents let you do all kinds of fun stuff, and have neat things to play with. That is what makes them grand! My Grandma and Grandpa have a big thing in their living room. It is called a “piano”. When you open…

  • How to make a monkey….

    Today’s Fortune: Now is the time to call loved ones at a distance. Share your news. This is good advice. We called my brother today. He is a grown-up, and he lives in North Carolina. His name is Aaron. He works for the Army, and he has been in a place called “Afghanistan”. He got back a couple of months ago. Afghanistan is a long way from here, and it is not a very happy place to be. There is a lot of fighting and stuff going on there. I think everyone there should get a monkey. Then they would…

  • Spiderman vs. Hello Kitty…..

    Today’s Fortune: You will be thankful for the pleasures of the coming months. I’m sure that is true. There is lots of fun on the way with everybody who will be visiting here, and I am sure that I will be thankful for all the good fun. Me and Dharma are having a great time! My mom got us something called “Activity Books”. These are books that have puzzles and games and pictures to color. Mine is The Amazing Spiderman. He is the same guy as one of my pezzes, and he is also the guy that my lunchbox is…

  • I am on my guard…..

    Today’s Fortune: A thrilling time ahead, be on your guard. That is a strange fortune. A thrilling time sounds good, but I’m not sure why I need to be on my guard about that. The guy who writes fortunes must be having a crummy day. Me and Dharma did not have a crummy day – ours was great! We had so much fun I almost forgot to blog today. I am really enjoying having her visiting us, and we may be getting another monkey friend soon. We will know more about that in a couple of days. Mom and Dad…

  • Bear Necessities for Monkeys….

    Today’s Fortune: Promise only when you can deliver. That is a good fortune. I should show it to my Mom, because she has promised to make me and Dharma some sweaters as soon as she finishes her Noro coat, which should be today.  We hope. Since we are going to be getting good sweaters, we thought it would be a good idea to review the book that has the sweater patterns. It is called The Knitted Teddy Bear. Don’t let the title fool you, though, because there are some really good things to make for monkeys in this book. The…

  • I lose my shirt….

    Today’s Fortune: Don’t lose sight of what you want. I need to keep that in mind. I do wish my fortunes would give me some advice on how to make what I want happen, though. What I want is for Mom to hurry up and get me some clothes made. She needs to make some for Dharma, too, because Dharma has started borrowing mine! I don’t mind sharing, but she asked if she could wear my new bowling shirt while we played Farm, and she hasn’t offered to give it back yet. At least we got her a straw hat…
