Right after we got back from our big trip (and my finally getting some bananas) school started for Daddy and Auntie so it got very busy around our house. I had to help Daddy all the time with his homework and sit on him so he would read.
I took a quick break to go bowling with some friends of the man with the fuzzy face. It was fun at first, especially since they let me help keep score, but then I almost got crushed by a wizzing bowling ball, so I never want to do that again!
Shortly after that, I went camping with Daddy and his Weblos troupe. The man with the fuzzy face and the old lady slept in a tent instead of the camper. The old lady complained a lot about the hard ground. I didn't like it either. The tent got wet and I almost did too! Nothing
is more scary than a monkey with the wet disease! I'm learning lots of new things I never want to do again!Next we went
to a music festival. We've gone for several years and I LOVE them. It's called Riverhawk and it's up somewhere called Dade City. This year we had a special place to sit all day and watch the people go by, when we weren't listening to music at the stages. Here's a picture of me hanging
out with my friends. Do you like my special banana pillow that my Daddy made for me? I like watching the musicians with the old lady, except she bounces around to much to the beat of the music when I'm trying to take a nap. My favorite this year was a group called The Belleville Outfit. They had a really cute fiddle player. I kept trying to sneak up and sit on her fiddle, but 
the old lady wouldn't let me.Before I knew it, it was Thanksgiving time. I like the holiday's because I get to see a lot of the relatives we don't see much the rest of the year. Of course, the old lady complains a lot that there's too much work to do at this time of the year. I don't know what she's talking about. I'M not working any harder.
Soon it will be Christmas. The parties have already started. I have so many invitations, I don't know where to start. The old lady won't let me go to very many. Something about my embarrassing her too much. I think she's too sensitive. At least I don't burp and scratch in public. And everyone else seems to think I'm wonderful and the life of the party.
Time to go wrap my presents. I hope everyone has a joyous and warm holiday season and a wonderful New Year.
