• Our Christmas Tractor Swappy Package!

    Today’s Fortune: Family is more valuable than money. But you will have both. This fortune is very true. I do get 12 quarters every week for my allowance, but my family and friends are much more valuable than all the money in the world! Lots of my Ravelry friends have been sending presents to me and Mom, so it has been Christmas for a while at my house. We like celebrating Christmas for several days. Mom was in a Christmas Santa Swap with her tractor girls. We got the best package in the mail while we were gone to North…

  • A Sock Monkey Bonanza!!

    Today’s Fortune: Avoid scattering your energies. That is some really good advice. I think I should pass it along to Mom. She’s busy working on swappy packages for our Ravelry friends, Christmas presents for friends and family and making a ton of stuff to put in her etsy shop.  She is not making very good progress on any of it.  I think that is because she is trying to do to many things all at one time.  She needs to focus. I am very focused.  Mostly on sock monkey stuff.  Our Halloween efforts were kind of disappointing.  We only had…

  • Darling Dharma and our visit to Webs!!

    Today’s Fortune: A thrilling time is ahead. Be on your guard. That fortune does not sound good. My fortunes are almost always right, so made sure I was on my guard before we left the hotel room, because I knew I was going to have a thrilling time! We drove to Sylvester’s Restaurant in Northampton, MA. I was too excited to even do a restaurant review, because I was going to see my darling Dharma again! She was waiting there with Walter, and she looked even more beautiful than I remembered! I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t…

  • A Fond Farewell to Ashevegas….

    Today’s Fortune: Give a hug to someone who needs one more than you. That is good advice. There is always someone in need of a hug. Sunday, June 28th was our last day in Ashevegas. The time passed way too quickly. Mom got a good picture of me and all my friends before we checked out of the hotel room. I decided to wear my Ninja Pirate outfit. Dharma really likes that one. After we got checked out of the hotel, we went to a place called World Cup Coffee Cafe.  They had really good coffee and desserts.  I shared…

  • Hugging Pugs and Other Fun Stuff….

    Today’s Fortune: Others are attracted to your endearing warmth. This fortune is very true. Everywhere I went in North Carolina, people seemed to love me!  Even dogs seem to be attracted to my endearing warmth! After dinner at the Fiddlin’ Pig, we went to Puggerhugger’s house to take her boys home, and pick up her knitting so she could knit some at the hotel with Mom and Knittymac. I was very excited, because I got to meet all of the pugs that live at her house!! My very favorite is Easter. Easter is tan, and looks a lot like my…

  • Me & Darling Dharma at The Fiddlin’ Pig!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will become better acquainted with a coworker. I think that was supposed to be somebody else’s fortune, because I don’t have any coworkers. He must have gotten my cookie confused with somebody else’s. That’s okay. He does a pretty good job most of the time, so I will cut him some slack. Saturday evening, after a day of monkey fun and boring yarn shopping, we got to go have dinner at a place called The Fiddlin’ Pig. It was a Barbecue Birthday Bash for our friend Knittymac! We had the whole gang there! I checked out the…

  • Monkeys at Mast General Store….

    Today’s Fortune: One old friend is better than two new ones. I think this is a silly fortune. I don’t think you can have too many friends, ever. I have lots of old friends, but I always like making new ones. Saturday, June 27th was our only full day in Ashevegas, so we had to cram lots of fun into one day.  It started out with a trip to a place called Mast General Store. Mast is a wonderful place! They have all kinds of good stuff there. They had lots of monkeys there, including colorful sock monkeys that we…
