• My Pirate Adventure!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are admired for your adventurous ways. Well, that fortune sure came true!  I got admired for my adventurous ways by a whole bunch of pirates a couple of weekends ago, and I actually get to blog about it!  In case you have been missing me, I have not been able to blog since last June.  That is when Mom decided to go back to high-college and started hogging the computer all the time.  When she is not using the computer, she is too tired to be Adult Supervision, so I have gone back to being a latchkey…

  • 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…

  • Another Treasure Hunt…..

    Today’s Fortune: A change of scenery will give you a bright new outlook. This is a good fortune, and it is also very true. Mom took me to the flea market last weekend, and it did a lot to help cheer me up. Mom says I’m back to my old self, whatever that means. Dad was out of town last weekend, so me and Mom had to go to Buchanan’s without him. We missed having him along, but we had a very good time, anyway. I found all kinds of interesting things. The first thing I saw was a tall…

  • Guts, eyeballs, and other stuff….

    Today’s Fortune: A financial investment will yield returns beyond your hopes. Wow! I can’t believe how true these fortunes are!   A few days ago, I invested in some socks to make a couple of colorful sisters for me to play with.  They are starting to take shape, and they are definitely way beyond what I had hoped for.  Mom keeps telling me, “Be careful what you wish for.”  She is very wise.  Maybe she can fill in for the guy who writes fortunes when he goes on vacation. The sisters won’t let me show pictures of them, because they…

  • Tornado Tuesday….

    Today’s Fortune: A pleasant surprise is in store for you. I’m still waiting for that one to come true.  I spent the whole afternoon cooped up with three cats under a mattress in the hall, because we had something called a “Tornado Warning”.   There was lots of lightning, rain, and thunder.  Big ice chunks fell from the sky all afternoon.  Mom said that stuff was called “hail.”  She wouldn’t let me go outside to watch, so I missed everything!  She took a couple of pictures of the TV coverage so I could at least see what was going on. Hopefully…

  • Fortune Cookie Friday….

    Last Friday morning, Mom dragged me away from the mirror, and tucked me in her tote bag.  When I asked where we were going, she just said, “Field trip.”  I had no idea what that was, but I liked the sound of it!  I thought we might be taking a picnic basket to a nice field where we could hang out and maybe see some cows or goats or wheat or something.  Instead, she took me to a place called Gourmet Yarn Co. It was okay, at first.  When we got inside the store, they had a really big basket…
