• I Heart Orr Family Farm!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are admired for your adventurous ways. I think that fortune is probably true.  I have had so many adventures the last three weeks I have not even had time to blog about them. And everywhere I go, people seem to be admiring my adventurous ways. Halloween will be here soon! It is one of my very favorite holidays, and Mom and Dad took me pumpkin shopping so I could pick out some really good ones for jack-o-lantern carving. We did not go to the grocery store this time. Instead, they took me to a place called Orr…

  • A Word From Our Sponsor. . .

    Today’s Fortune: You will be rewarded for a job well done. I sure hope that fortune is true.  I am also hoping that I don’t get fired from my Official Spokesmonkey duties.  It has been two weeks since I was at L&B Yarn Co., and I am just now getting a chance to tell everyone about the cool new stuff I saw there there.  My Dad was on vacation last week, and we spent so much time having fun, I did not even get a chance to blog.  We did lots of great stuff, and I have lots to tell…

  • A Day at the Alpaca Farm!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will have a close encounter of a surprising kind. I don’t know how my fortune knew it was National Alpaca Farm Days, but I did have a surprising close encounter, and a great Sunday adventure! Mom made me new overalls to wear to the alpaca farm. I now have a real farm outfit, and don’t have to wear my baseball jacket when I’m supposed to be farming. She did a really good job sewing my shirt and overalls. Even Puglet got a new outfit. We were eager to get going and wound up waiting for Dad in…

  • I am an Official Spokesmonkey!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will soon be the center of attention. Boy, that is one true fortune! Last Saturday, me and Mom went down to Norman, Oklahoma to meet my Auntie Tracy. Auntie Tracy lives in Tulsa, and she drove down so she and Mom could celebrate their belated birthdays together. Where did they decide to meet? A yarn store, of course. Like Mom, Auntie Tracy loves to knit.  Mom told Auntie Tracy that she wanted to visit L & B Yarn Co., because she had only been there once, and Dad was waiting in the car so she didn’t get…

  • Ahoy!! We’re Celebratin’ Talk Like A Pirate Day!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Very little be needed t’ make a happy life. This be one o’ our favorite days o’ t’ year! It be Talk Like a Pirate Day, and it looks like even my fortune be pirate! Me and Puglet finally got our slimy pirate adventure set grown, but it took a while t’ do it. We had t’ move t’ pieces into bigger containers, because they outgrew those glasses pretty smartly. I’ll be darned if those adventure set pieces didn’t have t’ be moved again! This time, we put them in a great big clear bowl where they would…

  • My Icky, Slimy Pirate. . .

    Today’s Fortune: Keep up the good work. You will be rewarded. That is a good fortune, because I have been working on a project for the last few days. Last Saturday, I got out my “Grow Your Own Pirate Adventure” set that Auntie Pam and Chip sent. September 19 is Talk Like A Pirate Day, and I wanted to make sure my pirate would be ready for the festivities. Mom got out a big pitcher of water, and a clear glass for each of the adventure pieces. I have a pirate, a pirate ship, and a treasure chest. The only…

  • It’s Silly Hat Day!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Others will take note of your radiant personality today. I am not too sure about that fortune. The only one here to take note is Mom, and she has mostly been too busy to notice my radiant personality.  Today is Mom’s birthday, and birthday presents have been arriving at our house for a while now!  So many of our sweet Ravelry friends have sent gifties, and it feels more like a birth-month than a birthday. My Auntie Naomi (JollyPyrate) sent Mom a knitting book called Knit One Below. It has lots of cool sweaters and stuff in it,…
