• I know a secret!!!

    Today’s Fortune: In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity. I’m not sure what that means. I think it probably means I should be quiet. Which I am, but it is hard to do, because I know a secret!! Mom has a “Super Secret Swap” going on with some of her friends on Ravelry. Ravelry is an online community of people who knit and crochet, and they show pictures of the neat stuff they make and they also make good friends with each other in different groups. Mom is in several groups, but one of her very favorites is…

  • We finally have sweaters!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You do not have to worry about your future. That is very true.  Mom takes very good care of me. And Dharma, too. I am glad I finally got a chance to blog. We were out late last night, so I didn’t get to blog yesterday, and we had some computer problems today, so I have had to wait. Waiting is not fun. We had to wait to get our sweaters, but Mom finally got them done, and they are great!! Mom used the sweater pattern for “Thomas” from The Knitted Teddy Bear. We got to choose our…

  • A Hop, Hop, Hoppy Day!!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Don’t worry about the stock market. Invest in family. More good advice from my fortune cookies. I do not waste my quarters in the stock market. I buy pezzes with them. That way, I have something to show for my money. We did a good job investing in family this week, though. Dad decided we needed to go back to the antique store where we rescued Calvin Klein. Dharma had not been to an antique store with us, so she was very excited. She found a nice rocking chair, but it did not play music like the one…

  • Think Global……..

    Today’s Fortune: You will step on the soil of many countries. That is a very interesting fortune. I hope it comes true, because I would like to travel all over and see neat places. We will have many monkeys visit us from around the world, but I don’t get to travel like they do because mom says she is worried that the post office might lose me. This is part three of my literary work about Grandma and Grandpa’s house. They have the best stuff ever!  My Grandma has some things called “snow globes.”    They have scenes from New York,…

  • 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…
