• I Want Monsters for Christmas. . .

    Today’s Fortune: Your heart will always make itself known through your words. That is a really good fortune! I have been wondering how to make my heart known for a few weeks now.  I figured the best way to do it was a letter to Santa. I have a great big platter of cookies ready for Santa. This year I am asking for something pretty important, so I want him to have an extra special treat when he gets here. I also wrote him a letter. Here is what I wrote: Dear Santa; I hope you and Mrs. Claus are…

  • A Big Box from Big Monkey!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You shouldn’t overspend at the moment. Frugality is important. Well, that fortune is confusing. My last fortune said that an unexpected payment is coming my way, which was very exciting, but now I am not supposed to overspend. I am not sure what a “frugality” is, but it must be expensive if I have to save all of my quarters to get one. I will check into it, though, because if my fortune says it is important, it probably is. Speaking of important… a big box arrived at my house a couple of days ago, and it was…

  • My Sock Monkey Christmas Tree!!!

    Today’s Fortune: An unexpected payment is coming your way! Wow!! That is a great fortune! I’ll bet that means that Santa is going to bring me a bunch of quarters! I have worked hard to make the “Nice Monkey List” again this year… I hope he has noticed! A few days ago, I got to decorate the house for Christmas again! That is one of my very favorite things to do, and Mom let me do almost all of it by myself this year. Puglet assisted me. He hung the ornaments on the short branches. The first thing we did…

  • My Creepy Pumpkins!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will enjoy doing something different this weekend. Another great fortune! It’s not every weekend that I get to carve a pumpkin or get dressed up for Halloween! I got out all of my carving tools and my pumpkins, and set up in the kitchen to start my jack-o-lanterns. I carved out the lids of both of the pumpkins, just like I did when I carved my sock monkey jack-o-lantern pumpkin last year. These pumpkins were much thicker and much fresher than the ones we bought at the grocery store last year. Mom says there’s no telling how…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Thanks, Easter Bunny!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Grand adventures await those who are willing to turn the corner. This fortune was only partly right. We did have grand adventures today, but we didn’t even have to turn a corner to have them!  I have had so many adventures in the last week I haven’t had a chance to blog!  We went to the zoo, and to the Paseo Art Walk, and got to see the lighting of the Tower Theater, which was really cool.  I will have to blog about those adventures later this week, though, because today is a special day! Today was the…
