Dancing at the County Fair

Well I don't know if it was the county fair but Plant was watching fireworks and invited me to come but by the time I got there it was over :( I noticed he was wearing a cowboy hat and commented on it so he showed me that over the fence was one I could have also. So I picked one up and tried it on :) What do you think? Do I look pretty good? Notice mine is white and Plant's was black - so who is the good one? LOL!

We decided to check out the dance moves while we were there - it was nice to decompress and the music was decent too!

See hi hat is black! LOL!

















Here are a few other shots of the dancing and tomorrow I will show you some of the other things that were at the fair :)


Yeah Plant was goofing around and gave me a straw hat - me thinking it was like a country bumpkin straw hat put it on - well NOPE ...me thinks this is more an Oriental style

see you again soon...................

Rez Cave

This is one of the places I was with Brenda the other day . It is a little cave with water and some sitting spots around it. You can wade in relax in it or sit on the ledge among other things. It was very peaceful! I loved how blue the water was also! It is amazing how many different things people have built in SL. I never cease to be amazed!





Here Brenda is floating in the water and I am standing there too - I even tried out the splashing ability! WooHoo how fun is that!


Here I am taking a seat on some of the rocks in the water ... hmmm maybe ought to think about a bathing suit next time ROFL!







It was another fun place to explore and definitely something I want to get for myself so I can go and look around more!

See you in sl........

Tubing :)

Well I mentioned tubing the with my last post but forgot to post the tubing stuff first so we are stepping back a little here LOL!

I jumped in my tube at the beach area of the land I live on. I headed out to go round the edge of the sim and check things out see what people had added and done since we are a fairly new sim and there is still lots of building going on. Sad to say I get distracted easy so did not get a lot of pics of new builds and such....I will make that a goal for another day :)

So here I am sitting in the tube and I end up washing ashore as I am hit by the waves LOL! I guess I wasn't paddling fast enough with my hands to not get caught in the surf. all the pics I tried to take of the HUGE waves weren't good so again that will be another day's goals. I did enjoy leisurely floating along though. Just past this (to the left of the pic) the person who owns this land had built it out so far that you can't get around it in the water so since I was enjoying the tubing I turned around and headed back that other direction.

and this is what I saw!

A SUBMARINE?!?!?! Say what? I totally was not expecting this. It is very nice but I don't know who owns it. Every time I have been buy the house no one is home so I have yet to scope it out some more. I was once in RL on a submarine and loved it and my RL brother was a Navy man so he spent many months on a sub! If you look close you can see I was just outside the edge of the sim you can see the line in the water there. It was funny cause you edge over it and then suddenly you are whipped right back onto it - a few moments of NO CONTROL over the tube!






Spun me around sometimes too...yeah once it happened I had to try it again LOL! so this was just as I saw the sub and the next photo is as I am right next to the sub.

I had a fun day that day and it ended with meeting Brenda as I said in the other post!

Another fun day in SL!

Brenda's Magic Blanket!

so I was tubing the other day and came across a bend in the edge of the water and land and there was a lady standing there. She came over to introduce herself and chat a bit. her name is Brenda. She was admiring my inner tube (which I gave her one too LOL) and then invited me to come see her blanket. A Magic blanket! She called it a Rez Blanket I believe. Anyway here it is:

We were already on our travels before I took the picture but I thought it would be easier to blog if I took one of the blanket LOL. This was outside the oriental place that the Magic blanket took us to. It was very pretty.

Then we went to another place and another ...I cant recall the order where we went when so I am just sharing the pics and telling you a little about them. I want to go spend more time with Brenda and explore these places! Here is an Autumn place - my favorite season with all the pretty colors and falling leaves!



Then there is the this place with water pools and a mountain to the other side. It was very pretty!














And then we ended our little trip with a Slumber Party place and Brenda was trying to teach me to use the pillow for a pillow fight - I was a total clutz and she kept knocking me but I couldn't get her LOL - I need to practice there some more!




Anyway it was a lovely time and I thanked her for sharing the magic blanket trip with me LOL!

Maybe you have one of these Magic Blankets too?

Riches

I have attended a bible study group on Tuesday's in SL and enjoy it very much. I have missed some weeks due to things going on in RL at times but the leader has given me notes to catch up with and last night we concluded our talk about How to get Rich. No not with money necessarily but Rich with God anyway here is a photo he shared with us last night that really caught my eye and I wanted to share it here also. If you click on it I think you will get a larger picture so you can read and actually see it better. This is actually from another blog from Pastor Mark Brown who has a great sound clip if you care to go and give a listen. I was very touched by some things that happened in ther study last night and am glad I have found this group.

We closed with a good comment and I think it is one we all should be striving to do:
"take advantage of your time here on earth to lay up your treasures for your true life in heaven with Jesus.

What can you do to lay up treasures for heaven?

I am going to start by living more simply.

After the study I went back to my home island and there was a circle prayer meeting in progress so I took a seat on one of the cushions and listened in to the prayers while praying also at home. This is a weekly prayer circle and I usually miss it cause of timing but I made point to be there last night and it was good to hear all the love pouring out of everyone and the praise being directed towards God! if you wish to join us make a stop at Eternal Creations and I am sure someone can direct you or look me up and I can find the landmark and time for you also.
Here is one picture of the group I was able to snap last night :)


See you in SL!

Animated Items

This is a unique vanity I encountered somewhere. You sit on the stool and it has a list then of things you can do :) Here I am trying out the blow a kiss and the other picture is...well I don't remember but I only caught the tale end of it LOL I had to hit the button for my choice then hurry to the camera button he he - gotta work on that!





I am thinking this is maybe the end of Surprise animation? I didn't opt to keep the vanity for my back room - I am not to into the whole make-up thing so I probably wouldn't play with it to much and want to use the prims for something else.






Now this is me relaxing in one of the shopping places we found I rather liked the gazebo type place but it was too expensive and I didn't think fit the beachy atmosphere that my condo is like LOL!



They had a fire pit and some logs and pillows around at the shopping area too and I took a minute to catch a snooze on one of the cushy pillows! I think I need to find one of these in rl!

So that catches you back up on the adventures of late!

Pictures of the Ministry building

so I tempted you with a quick shot of the outside of Plant's place and thought you might like to see some of the inside. I will continue to get pics along the way as he changes and adds things.

here is a new shot of it he has changed some things outside and made it look a little more...hmmm what is the word? Well anyway he has doors now LOL!

Inside it looks like this.......

several sitting places and some plants inside and a beautiful cross on the wall. There are some music things on the back wall I will get a picture of next time I am there. Behind me is a desk and also some windows that look directly out onto the water. It is very pretty. the Ministry is settled back into the corner of the property and looks quite nice.

Upstairs is a small sitting area and there is a wonderful Grand Piano there. Hmmm I wonder what movers carried that up the narrow stairs LOL! There are some sitting chairs also for lounging and listening in. It is very pretty to look out of the loft.






Here are the flags that are being sold to raise money to use to put back into the Ministry to allow them to do more in sl and create a presence to use for meetings and evangelism opportunities.

Again is you want to know more leave me a comment and I will put you in touch with someone in sl who can better explain things.

Lag stinks!

you can sing it to the tune of Love Stinks! As both did for me yesterday. My RL and my SL were both dissapointing yesterday.

I got on for a little bit put me red dress on went to the club and no one was there. Figured I wold dance (camp) for bit see who showed up. Stepped on the pad and no animation...I just stood there...ho hum this is a whole lot of NOT fun. Went back tot he condo and the lag was so bad I couldn't get myself through the dang door! take a step nothing so hit the button agan nothing then what I am into the wall! Or the window! I finally tp'd out to somewhere and then used my home tp before shutting off so at least the next time I log in I will be safe at home LOL!

missed out on the dancing and fireworks on the beach and talking with my friends last night...hopefully I will get to be on some this weeekend.

see you in sl..................

Plant's new place!

My friend Plant had some land that was given to him to use for his ministry and he has been working on it to build a nice office area as well as display for the flag business he has! Great flags by the way - you really ought to look him up to get one. If you need more info contact me and I can put you in touch with him. I don't have a slurl or a landmark or whatever to give for it right now sorry - still learning that part. :) This is a view from the front.

Oh darn the flag picture didn't turn out so I will have to post that another time :(

see you in sl................

so you wanna see some of the decorating?

ok then I will show you some :)

Here you see Manda, Xena and I talking about the decorating scheme. I decided to go with this great orange rug that fades to dark at the edges so it will match nicely with my fish tank base. I really like the fish tank but I have learned a teensy tiny bit about prims and I see it is kinda high so I may have to downsize or eliminate it if I find much to do with the back room. :( Too bad but for now I am going to enjoy it! Anyway you see I tossed a couch out and a table and a rug and then Manda tossed out this great rattan looking chair and changed it to orange/brown to match the rug! It is lovely and OH SO COMFY to sit in! Just ask Xena :) She tried it out! LOL!

so then we had to move the things into placec that I decided on so here you see from the back looking out (notice my awesome panoramic view of the water)! Lavinia was there also - that is her next to me and we were talking, I think; about the planters that Manda made up front by the window. They hold mums in both orange and yellow. Turned out really nice and they glow at night too - the planters silly NOT the flowers!


We had a nice time visiting and other people came by too and we just hung out. The view is good from any of the seats and I love that I can just sit and stare :) Maybe some day a whale or dolphins or something will go by or maybe some birds! ahhhhhhhhhhhh pleasant daydreaming area! I really love how it turned out!

Maybe you will want to stop by to see me sometime....see you in sl...................

oh yeah and I think I still need to find a lamp for the evenings seems it is dark when I get there all the time ...

ughhhhh

Well if I didn't mention it before Kriti has been sick this week (well the RL Kriti) so she hasn't been able to play much in SL.

BUT......................... the other night I was able to pop on for a bit and.....................

I did some decorating in my condo with the help of my friend Manda the other night. I have pics but need to crop them to put in so you'll just have to wait till I can get to them..he he

Anyway I have the loveliest orange rug and a fishtank with a dark (cherry?) base that I really liked so that is what I made my decor to suit LOL! I have the most awesome chair that Manda made for me...wait 2 chairs! just wait till you see! and then I said I wanted to put some flowers along my front window and *poof* Manda made some wonderful pots for them! Meanwhile I was manuevering things around and sent my end table off into SL outer space somewhere...I had no clue where it went, one minute it was there and then it went flying out the back through the wall! I went around back to look but I sure didn't see it anywhere (*next day it was returned to my lost and found folder LOL so who knows where it was hanging out!)

Some of my friends (Lav, Leester, a new friend Xena) came over to check out what Manda and I were up to and then we were discussing the lighting or rather lack of it LOL so Manda made the pots glow and I will be searching for that perfect lamp to add to it :)

We then played outside with our Tiki stuff on the beach and danced and carried of for a bit before everyone took off to other places either in SL or RL.

It was a fun night and I am glad I popped in for abit - it really was a boost to my spirits. Being sick stinks!


see you in sl.....soon..........................

First glimpse of the inside

of my condo!


I am facing towards the back of it and you can see I set up my fish tank along my back wall and also you can see the waterfall I have inside...that is great!

I know it looks like I have no edge to it right? Well those are my cool glassthat I can tint or un-tint. I wanted it light so you could see in so they are un-tinted now. I have a great looking house out the back side...can't wait to meet the neighbors there LOL! I have a small deck you can see to the right of the picture where the floor changes of course is my glass. The front of the condo is round as is the deck...remember the picture a few days ago of the whole outside of the unit...I am so happy with it!

I was trying out some rugs in it last night and will be trying some furniture tonight if I can find some time to play SL in my RL. I am thinking I want a semi circle couch and face it towards the front over looking the water so it will be like a little bubble ...he he! We'll see I am not sure what I have in my inventory and I don't think I will have a lot of shopping time till the weekend. I may end up with something totally different - who knows!

You'll have to look me up and see if I will show you ...or just keep reading here you know it will end up here eventually!

see you in sl................

And the winners were.....

For the first contest it was Kriti Lynagh (female) and Yanosh Dreadlow (male) so sorry I think I spelled your name wrong before. go back a few posts and you can see our costumes...hula and Yanosh with his big yellow smile LOL! I think it was alike a PacMan or something whatever it was it was fun!

For the second contest it was Isabel Hocken (female) and Leester Carver (male). I am not sure if Leester wore the same costume as the first party or not but whatever he was I am sure he was having fun! I don't know what Isabel was, in fact I don't think we are acquainted in SL yet... WooHoo another friend to make yet!

Chino's Wicked Blog Contest for February

I started this blog due to one of Chino's other posts and now to think what type of contest he ought to sponsor...well how about the most pictures posted - I love taking pics of the things I do in SL and posting them so you all can see what I am talking about LOL!

Or how about that person who makes the most personal blog posts for February - the shortest month of the year.

Thanks Chino for the opportunity and I will continue to think on this one...

Snapshots of the second dance

Here is my buddy Plant at the second dance and he took the photo's I am sharing with you all here. He loves rock music and the music at the early party was great. Tonight with his Tye Dye he wore rock t-shirt underneath! Should of had your guitar on Plant!


















Here he is cutting a rug on the dance floor at Club Eternal yesterday.... is that a pig in there too - wonder who that was? I think I might of seen a lamb on the edge of one pic too before I cropped it and sharpened it. Think they had some fun costumes there! I will update the winner's info if I can find out later today from someone :)

Oh there you can see Manda's nose peeking into the left side of the screen LOL! She is going to get Plant! See his awesome tye dye outfit! He made that too!





Great multi color smoke they used for this one! Looks like others were doing the tye dye thing maybe too there in the background!

Wonderful!








More of the dancers at Club Eternal's second dance of the night. ACTUALLY they never really stopped but this was the second voting event of the night for the best Male and Female costume!
Again I wasn't there so will try to update the info about the winners as soon as I find out.

FUN FUN FUN! Make sure you join us for the next one!

Oh yeah and Eternal Oasis was delivered yesterday! The new Sim for shopping and also some more residential land! We are growing by leaps and bounds! Praise the Lord!

I hula'd my way to $L1000!

Yep see me there on the left side in my hula skirt LOL! It was a costume contest and I was the lucky winner for the early dance with my hula costume! BIG THANKS to Shuffield for hosting this dance and yeah me for the win LOL!

My friend Plant is in front of me in his British Flag costume that he made. He is a crafty clothes maker...I will put a pic up later of another one he made that is tye dye it is pretty awesome too!

Here are some more of the dancer from the first dance and then I will do a post of pics that Plant sent me from the second dance also. I wasn't able to make it back for that one so I don't have a lot of info about it yet as to who won or anything...sorry!



Here is Brigg Devon at the dance , he was a great smile and eyes!















Yanish won $L1000 on the Male board for his fabulous costume :) Don't you love that grin! He was a wild dancer too really stepping it up in those bright red high top tennis shoes!






This is a picture of Leester, he is in the air there. He was a prep school boy LOL! He also made a killing on the balloon game zapping them before they even got out of the box I think as he had so many! He is talented at that game for sure!


This is just a snapshot of Plant and I in front of Club Eternal after the dance. We were headed shopping to see about more costumes for later but weren't having much luck finding anything. I didn't get the picture of Manda that I took so I will have to ask her to don her costume again and get another. She was a "terrifying" monster LOL!


It was a great day at Club Eternal and fun was had by all!


hope to see you soon in sl...................

Demons?

Tonight while unpacking in the sandbox Sonic sent out a cry for prayer warriors...there were demons he said. Honestly I hadn't a clue what he meant. I went anyway as I figured I can pray I didn't have to really know what was going on. Well it didn't take long to figure out what he meant was that some people had come who were calling themselves Demons and they were challenging and wanting to debate Christianity. Many were there trying to share the love of God with them and also praying that their hearts would be opened to hear the message and see that He is the one true Light in this Dark World. Much back and forth and if God was this or that and well Satan is this and so on it soon became heated and there was some things said and done that caused Sonic to ask them to leave. It is his Sims and he has that right. Well lo and behold the one Demon did leave but there were some who choose to stay and then started playing with "toys" that caged people and knocked them into the water and so on. Anyway point being even in SL there are challenges to be a witness for the Lord and seeing a whole group rally together tonight was a blessing to me - I am NOT alone and whenever I feel the need to lift myself up I can simply enter my SL and surround myself with other Christians, praising the Lord and feeling his blessing all around me. My hope is that those who were there heard the message and even though they did not leave on the best of terms I know there are people out there praying still for them. Perhaps tonight we were only able to plant the seed, now we need to keep praying that it will grow and flourish in them and they will repent and allow Jesus to fill them with his love!

Condo's and Goofing Off

Check out my new digs...

I haven't moved in yet just waiting for the go ahead but I have sure been looking forward to it! I think I will be the middle apartment of the ones directly behind me although as you see there is an identical set to the side of me also so something could change I suppose but for right now it is the center one behind me :) I have to work on my door opening and closing and quit running into the wall LOL - I will be forever having a black eye if I don't get the hang of doorways pretty soon! Today I unpacked a LOT of boxes and I found some really cool furniture that I can't wait to try out in the front room also.

So as I was unpacking my boxes from my inventory I found some really strange things, some very useful things and well...some things like this LOL!


Now I can't rightly figure why someone would want to sit in a cup of coffee but apparently someone did as they made it...that is what SL is all about if you want it, can dream it then you can make it here. So as I soaked in my coffee...errrr chocolate yeah that's better CHOCOLATE I thought about...well NOTHING LOL other than how ridiculous I felt sitting there in the middle of a sandbox in a huge cup. I think had I seen a rabbit walk by with a big top hat or something I might of felt a little like Alice in Wonderland!

I didn't keep this particular beauty since I was working on paring down my inventory but if anyone ever asks now I can say I soaked myself in chocolate once upon a time..........


See you in sl...................

RL is...

interfering with my SL! I have been SICK SICK SICK and not able to be in SL much the last few days - I missed the beach party at EC and I missed the week 2 of How to be Rich Bible study :( I can't wait to be rid of this RL bug so I can get back to the business of SL!





see you soon..................

Fishing Prize & Hair!

Well I ended up winning the Bronze Trophy with that fish I caught the other night :) Better than nothing LOL!

Hair - why is hair important? Well I don't want to be bald LOL! Bald is pretty great on a man and ok on some women even too but me well no I don't want to be bald. I met a new friend Mel who was showing off her new do and she mentioned that there was a great place with Lucky Chairs that gave away hair...I told her to keep me in mind for some if the opportunity ever presented itself. Well lo and behold the letter K came up on the lucky chair not to long after - she tp'd me there to get it and here you can see I WON!!!!! LOL

How fun is that! Too bad in RL you can't just win the perfect new do!


see you in sl.................

Fishing

I sat on the pier last night and fished a little before signing off...won't know until later tonight if I caught a winner or not?!?!?! It was a 28lb fish though and was marked as the Silver trophy when I went to be finally. The Gold last night was a real WHOPPER! 44 lbs it said ...whomever got that must of had a heck of a time reeling it in! LOL

They were working on the housing situation some yesterday too and it appears we are leaning towards a condo type arrangement. Nice open windows and airy looking - great for the beach but yet the back room is private for changing of clothes and so on. My landlord was talking about some water sculpture or something too for each unit, I think it will be turning out wonderfully!

see you in SL................................

Camping, Dancing & Chatting

So last night I did 3 fun things ....

First I was camping on the new beach at EC which is wonderful! I love the music there!

My friend Plant came and camped for awhile too - he took this picture. Yeah it was dark and we were watching the sun set or maybe it was sun rise - I can't figure that out yet I never know if it is day or night LOL!


Later I spent some time dancing at the club which is fun especially when there are a lot of people! I even had a funky retro outfit on last night :) This is a great place to meet people and share what God has been doing in your life or hear about what he is doing in theirs. You can also just let loose and have fun, play some games and try a new jog or too! he he







I ended the evening while chatting with my friend Sher at her house. She got a great new seashell table today, it sits and looks out right over the water! While we were chatting she taught me how to right side up my chocolate cake that kept coming out on the side...now I can serve a mean slice of birthday cake ROFL! We also saw a horse or a Pegasus I am not quite sure go racing by behind us. I think it was one of the neighbors out having a good time. We had a nice chat and when the little "region will restart" notice came along we decided we should just call it a night...



Oh yeah and I think I won the fishing tournament again yesterday but my computer crashed right as the notices were popping up and I don't know how to find out now. I don't know how to find out where the $L come from like is there a record of who gave you what or anything - kinda like a statement I suppose. If you know please share with me so I can properly thank the right people.
