Holly and Jen are leaving today. Last night we had snickerdoodle cookies in their honor. Tom left yesterday and Holly had made sugar cookies in his honor. They all had decorations on them that had to do with Tom and CARE. One of them said "Tom loves Ling-Ling". Ling Ling is his "girlfriend" - a baboon who loves him and not many other people. Tom and Holly have been the resident bakers in the house and it will be much less fun without them. But last night, Ali really stepped it up with the snickerdoodle's. We didn't even have any butter, so they used custard flavored yogurt! LOL It worked out well though, they were delicious. Lucy always has a glass of red wine after dinner ad is fine, but for whatever reason tonight she got drunk. She fell asleep on the table and when we woke her up she was crying and couldn't walk to our room by herself. She fell once or twice on the way! I think she's having some trouble here. She is pretty reserved and the baboons don't really respect her at all so they are mischievous around her. Hopefully, she'll adjust soon because she's supposed to stay for another few weeks.

Yesterday when Gaby and I were in smalls, all of a sudden all the babies started staring at something in the corner. They were jumping up and down, trying to mob it. I noticed them acting weird and went to see what they were looking at and there was a tiny brown snake just on the other side of the gate. Gabby calls Jen over to look at it and she says it's not a nice one! So she got Paul. Elena and Stephen. They come running and Paul gets it up in a bucket and takes it away. I'm not sure if he killed it or released it, but it was a puff adder - a really dangerous, venomous snake! Ever since, I've been realizing that out here, there is a lot of stuff that can kill you! I myself do admire and value wildlife of all kinds, but I'd rather it not be in my home. Unfortunately, with people building homes where wildlife should be, it becomes a problem...
