Monkey Book

I forgot to add this to the post below. This was my gift (Valentine's Day) to the grands--I love , love this book---it is fun to read!!!

A visit to the monkey family at Rhi's was a very nice break!! We had lots of fun!! [although I wish Rhi would put that spider in her hand away.......ha)

The little one loves to monkey around!
Rhi is giving him extra attention!

We had so much fun just playing!!! It is good to be a child again at times, isn't it!?

update on the Tinsley Monkeys

Well , the tinsley monkeys are doing fine. Here is one of them (the photographer forgot to get the others in the picture!!) This must be papa tinsley. He is in his undershirt garb and sitting in the fort that Rhi built!

Of course it came crashing down at an appropriate time, but he survived!

He enjoyed tunneling with Rhi

And taking a nap in the hallway fort!

Ocracoke Island adventure

Here we are on the 2 hour Ferry Ride to Ocracoke Island! It was Father's Day so hubby got a call from his other son in Seattle.

Monkeys are hanging out on the Ferry ride.

We enjoyed the empty beaches.

The Sunsets.

The moonlit nights

The sunny accommodations.

The lingering morning coffee

The monkey business wine!! for our anniversary

The quiet days on the beach




The warmth of the beach!

THe Lighthouse!

Hey, how many monkeys?

Since this Island is where Blackbeard was beheaded--we celebrated by swords in our attire!

It was a wonderfully relaxing time for ALLLLLL!!!

Monkeying in Ocracoke Island

We have been to Ocracoke Island and will post when we get some time--a great monkey escape and some pirating toooo!

Father Day readiness

It is show and tell at Kelly's http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ usually I show something on my other blog---but I decided to do it on this one ;-)

My Father-in-law had a stroke on May 17. He has been in a rehab facility and we have created a new addition to our monkey family for him. This is a cheerful little guy. He even has blue eyes like my FIL. He has the casual flair--jams....since my FIL needs to know how to rest. But at the same time he has a little injection thing---just to encourage the patient to keep up with his PT. Kind of an "or else" thing.

We shall send this guy off to the rehab on Saturday!!

sockmonkey gear

Well --the sock monkey gear is shown below , but I had to show you Zephir and Minkey here at the bottom of Mt Rainer (spelling?)--I forgot this picture in the post below.!! How dare I forget?? Here are some pjs I found from Target's online catalogue--I am showing a close up of the material. Notice how rumpled they are!! That is because I had them stuffed under my pillow--they are very comfy and provide sweet monkey dreams ;-)

Also a tee shirt from my daughter for my birthday in April--notice two favorites combined--coffee and tea ;-)
