A Christmas Dress for Lexi….
Today’s Fortune: A simple kindness today will bring you great reward. I sure hope my fortune is right because I am being extra nice to Mom today. She has been wanting to blog about knitting ever since we got back from North Carolina, so I told her I would do it for her. That is mostly because when Mom blogs about knitting, it is really boring, and I don’t want people to go to sleep while they are reading my blog. While we were in North Carolina, Mom knitted a baby dress for our grandbaby, Lexi. This is what it…

Silly Book Reviews…..
Today’s Fortune: You will soon gain something you have always wanted. This is a silly fortune. I already have a John Deere Tractor afghan and a pirate monkey nutcracker. I’m not sure what else there is to want. It has been a while since I reviewed books, and I thought it would be a good time to review the newest ones in my library. Mom and Dad took me to Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago, and I got to get several new books. The first one is called Stray Sock Sewing, and it is by Daniel. This book…

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.

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…

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…

Dear John Deere……
Today’s Fortune: You are quiet, adaptable, and sensitive to others. Today was not the funnest day ever, but I did not complain. I was just quiet and adaptable. This morning, Mom went to see another person called “Client”. This one was different from the one she saw yesterday. They all seem to have the same name, and when I do get to go, I have to stay in the Suburban, so I never get to meet them. Staying in the Suburban is no fun at all. When she was finally done with her meeting, Mom took me to a place…
