I'm back from my monthly Houston/Dallas visit, this time a bit more confused on time/date/location that usual.  This time I stayed with my friend, artist and entrepreneur extraordinaire Catrine at her gorgeous house at White Rock Lake.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Nikki and Jen have moved out into their own little cottage at the Arawak.
Since Explora is working more and more with our friend Kennrick and his mechanic shop, we have found a wonderful helper with the kids.  Although the kids have already renamed her "Dominica" (don't ask me how or why - see list of names of all our pets, there is no logic to their nemaing stragety).

Speaking of the kids, they're out on their mid-term break for the next 5 days and of course, this is the first time in weeks that it's rained constantly for the past 2 days now. 

In case you were wondering, yes, there have been new pets since last time, mainly a tarantula that keeps running around the house, which provides for hours of fun between the spider and Lawys (he's scared of spiders) and the spider and CuBone (dog, not afraid of Tarantulas but should be).

I'm about to upload some new pics on the main site, please stop by there when you get a chance!
