Oh, and there's a new option to the menu - Movie Valley. I'm no Ebert (I'm a lot nicer) but I try my hand at movie reviews. I've seen a lot of movies so I might as well put that knowledge to use!

- What hasn't changed on the site? Seriously, most of the
site has been revamped. Cities have formed unions with other cities,
villas have emerged as full-blown towns, and a new city has been born with
the introduction of the mayor Sirbie the cat! Below is a quick run-down of
what's changed.
- Fort Catankerous has been born. Sirbie the cat was adopted
8/31/03 and in honor of his inclusion in our family, he gets his own web
page. Of course, he has to share it with resident calico Wensley.
- Wish List Falls and Project Springs have emerged
from the dungeons of obscurity. You can now find them more readily on the
blue left hand menu bar.
- Chinsfield has been revamped. You can now read about the
two chinchillas Elsa and Nemo side by side.
- The blue left hand menu bar has been re-organized. If you've
memorized your favorite city's location on the menu bar, you'll have to
take another look. It most likely has moved around in the list.
Ogdenapolis has been moved to the bottom. He's gone but not
forgotten.
- Vaguelando has changed a little bit, too. Cities like
Vegetarian Square and Recipe Corner have decided to live a
more humble life OFF the main menu. You can still get to these cities via
the new highway that runs straight through Vaguelando.
7/11/03
- Finally! Pictures of the "during" process to some work we did on
the house... in December (painting various rooms). View the progress in
Homeford. Pictures of the current state of the house should be up
shortly. I also posted some yard pictures.

down until you see the "new" indicator) and Ogdenapolis (ditto).

birthday wish list in Wish List Falls, a suburb of

the e-mails in chronological order. Go to Ogdenapolis and click on
the The Ogden Files link (second paragraph).

updated with this year's Christmas wish list.

I don't work at is.com anymore....

posted! Check them out in St. Travelsburg.

Elsa's picture page).

02/22/01
- A recount of our trip to Brugge has been posted. It's amazing -
here it is February of 2001 and this was our FIRST trip.
- Some of the pages have been re-worked a little. Probably so little,
most won't notice.
- Piggy Beach (the Piggy Ville picture page) has been
removed. It's just Zoe now (and has been for quite some time) and since I
can't remember the last time she did something funny that we photographed,
there's just one picture up there (in Piggy Ville) now.
- Funland got a new title image.
- Gideon the guinea pig's eulogy was removed from Piggy Ville
and placed under the Memorial section in Vaguelando. Hopefully we
won't add to that section too soon....
Coming Soon - pictures from our Valentine's Day trip and possibly more
chinchilla pictures.... :-)
01/31/01
- I'm bored. I wrote two new songs for two new animals - Elsa and
Nemo. If I get any more bored, Wensley's and Zoe's songs will be written
soon, too. Check them out in Vaguelando.
- The pictures from our trip to Memphis have been removed. I was
getting sick of getting "you're over your space allotment" notices from
our ISP. Pictures take up a lot of room so I had to clear up some disk
space. The "story" of our trip is there, still. Paris will be taken down
soon, too.... As soon as we go on another Valentine's Day trip
(which is right around the corner).
01/04/01

List Falls. Visit Vaguelando - it's the gateway to Wish List

Village in Vaguelando.

there, too.
06/20/00
- With the addition of Nemo the chinchilla, Elsafield
expanded into Chinsfield. Check out the story on Nemo and an update
regarding Elsa.
- Wensleydale just got a little cuter. Wensley's Vineyard
(the picture section of Wensleydale) has been revamped. All the old
photos had lost their clearness (okay, I messed with them to make them
load faster and ended up destroying the resolution). I took the old photos
down and replaced them with all new! (To get to Wensley's Vineyard,
click on the picture of Wensley on the main page of Wensleydale.
- Of course, not to be outdone, Ogdenapolis also got a little
cuter. Two new pictures were added to Ogden's Island (again, to get
to Ogden's Island, click on the picture of Ogden in
Ogdenapolis).
- Our trip to Memphis finally got its spot in St. Travelsburg.
However, Paris still doesn't have a story, but I'm working on it....
- Robin's World (the front page) got a little sprucing up. Not
too drastic, just some re-organization. Let me know how ya like it!
06/08/00
- What's new? Lots of things are new!
- For starters, Elsafield is new. In fact, it's new to us, too.
Checkout Elsafield to find what it's all about.
- Feeling a little... vague? Head to Vaguelando, a city that
will help you get over that feeling... well, at least make you feel a
little more at home. Vaguelando is home to all things weird in
Robin's World.
- Sadly, Mujinati is no longer a featured city. The city is
gone, but not forgotten. Visit Vaguelando to tour that city again.
- If you haven't noticed it yet, you're probably never gonna notice it
until I tells ya. Robin's World has a new look!
- Coming soon - updates to St. Travelsburg (more pictures from
travels not so far away).
03/26/00
- Well, it's been awhile since the site has been updated. This site
has an Easter/spring theme. Very pastelish. Whew.
- Also, the pictures from our trip to Paris have now been posted in
St. Travelsburg. The "story" ofthe trip has yet to be written, but
for now, you can ooh and ahh over the pics.
- Also, sometime in the very near future Fran Town will be
updated and so will - eventually - Jeffreyborough. Check back soon
for these exciting updates!
- But for now, Happy Easter!
12/27/99

decorations are starting to come down. Notice the new theme? It's a

them out! There are also some pictures added from our trip to Jamaica, too.

World!
- If you mosey on over to Christmas Cove, you'll discover our
inner most wishes and desires... at least what we want for Christmas.

pictures from Jamaica and Jersey. The Sedona pictures will find their way
to the internet soon... I hope
08/02/99
- Pictures from our trip to Amsterdam are now on display in St.
Travelsburg. I must apologize; we didn't take many. Of course, those
that we did take were mostly of cheese. Had we seen some windmills, there
would be pictures of those, too.
07/29/99
- First of all, I fixed some of the misspellings that were running
amuck... Whoops.
- Next, I added the pictures from the trip to Cleveland (there aren't
too many) and a few more to the South Dakota Spree - both in St.
Travelsburg. Amsterdam pictures will be coming soon, I promise!
- Next, more pictures were added to Wensleydale (Wensley's
Vineyard), Ogdenapolis (Ogdenapolis Island), and Mujinati
(Cape Chinchilla).
06/09/99
- To every thing turn, turn, turn. There is a website change,
change, change. That's right. More changes. Nothing too radical, but
enough changes to keep me busy. Here's the list of what got a few snips:
- Jeffreyborough got a nose job. Notice the new banner. Future
surgery: lip collagen.
- Funland had an ear tuck and cheek implants. Part of
Funland is now St. Travelsburg. The other part of
Funland has moved to the bottom of Newadelphia. You can
still see old pictures and songs. You just have to travel to another
country.
- St. Travelsburg emerged as a cheek implant from
Funland. Now, the pictures and recounts of our travels have their
own section.
06/04/99
- Funland has pictures from our trip to Alaska!
Funland has also been re-organized a bit (don't be afraid). I
put each trip on a separate page. There are so many Alaska pics!

05/26/99
- So little to say, so much time! No, wait. Strike that, reverse
it.
- First, Robin's World has extended to another galaxy. Whenever
this site's down, go to the other one at http://www1.minn.net/~jholland. The new site is the
same but looks a bit different. Don't be alarmed. The planet is still
inhabited by friendly and drooly creatures.
- Robin's World has been re-written a bit.
- Wensleydale has more story to it.
- Mujinati has a a new picture.

visit Jeffreyborough!

each city (like Mujinati,
Wensleydale, Jeffreyborough). The pictures will take you to more pictures!
04/29/99

some more pictures of Wensley in Wensley's Vineyard. Go to
Wensleydale to get to Wensley's Vineyard.

12/15/98

pictures! They'll bring you to either more pictures of that nature or a
bigger picture. Click on Ogden, click on Muji, click on Dubby, click on
Fran, click on the pigs!
And, if you're not a frequent flyer to Robin's World, you're
probably not aware of some other recent additions. Here they are:
- Need some songs to sing in the shower? How about some tunes to hum
around the office? Check out the songs I wrote for my animals at
Robin's Songs (a division of FunLand).
- There are some new recipes. Check them out at the Recipe
Corner
