SassyLePoof! Arrives……
Today’s Fortune: You will make a new and lasting friendship. Once again, my fortune is right on the money! Our newest Traveling Sock Monkeys group visitor arrived last week, and we are already great friends! Her name is SassyLePoof!. I asked Mom what the funny looking thing at the end of SassyLePoof!’s name is, and she told me it is called an “exclamation point.” She says it is to show emphasis. I use them when I write my blog, but I did not know what they were called, and I sure did not know that they could be in somebody’s…

Miss Mary Mwnci Arrives from the UK!!!
Today’s Fortune: You are always missed in your absence. This is so true. I’ll bet a whole bunch of people have been missing me, because I have not been able to blog for four whole days!! Mom has been working a lot, and she has not had time to let me use her computer. I hope my blog friends still remember me! A lot has happened since the last time I blogged! We have a new Traveling Sock Monkey at our house!! Her name is Miss Mary Mwnci. You do not pronounce her last name as “muh-win-see”, though. It is…

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…

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…

Spring Fashions for the Well-Dressed Monkey….
Today’s Fortune: Others are noticing your great beauty. I think this fortune must be for Dharma, because everyone can see how beautiful she is. People notice her everywhere we go! My Mom has been busy sewing stuff for Dharma, so she will be well dressed for the rest of her TSM adventures. Mom has made several things in addition to our karate suits and jammies. When Dharma first got here, we went to Joann’s to get fabric to make our clothes. Mom let us choose whatever we wanted. Dharma wanted a thing called a “kimono”. It is like a fancy…
