CGM Sky Art Gallery



I have written several times about CGM and my friend Plant.

Well there is something new at CGM the:

CGM Sky Art Gallery


the tp to get up to it is right next to the scrolling sign
see below so you know what to look for :)



Here are some photographs of things you will see while there:







There are many different styles of art available as well as a comfortable seating area where you can hang out with your friends and have discussions. As you can see it is a beautiful open air setting in the sky affording you an awesome view along with outstanding art to explore.


There will be a Grand Opening for the CGM Sky Art Gallery on
Thursday, April 17th, 2008 beginning at 9 AM SL time.
The Gallery will remain open non stop with staff/helpers to answer any questions you might have or just there to talk with through 9 PM SL time on Saturday, April 19th, 2008.


**As always though CGM is open for you to stop by and visit anytime that is convenient for you. There are icons for some of the staff to alert you if they are online but often you will just find someone there who is more than likely happy to chat with you and answer questions.


CGM works to spread the gospel and good news of Christ through Second Life.
The Sky Art Gallery is a way for them to raise funds to allow them to
continue to reach out to fellow Second Lifers.


I urge you to visit the gallery and support this worthy cause!

Lava Flow

You just never know what you will come across when you are traveling around in SL. I believe I was doing the Hoppy Pay HUD stuff when I came across this but I can't exactly recall...
I thought it rather interesting so snapped a quick photo.


The lava appears to just start out of the grass to me from this angle but it was flowing right along and over the side of the mountain...I hurried to the front to see where it was going to

From this view you can't really see the point of origin as well and it appears as though an eruption has taken place and the lava is searching it's way creating a flow over the side and down into the ocean. What great lava rock formations along the path of the current flow and also the smoke at the top as you can see from this view as if it so hot like real lava. Guess what though it didn't hurt a bit when I landed on it and my heels weren't even marked up a bit ROFL!

Happy Exploring!

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

Treasure Quest Headquarters

The hunt begins on Friday the 11th
Be sure to join in the fun and explore various places on the grid as well as gather some fun and unique prizes along the way!
This is the new TQ...
A fantastical castle to party in I am thinking :) It is very pretty in SL and you need to come to check it out. Just search for Treasure Quest.

Then there are the magical Pirate Ships that sail around the island too....here is a picture of one of them...Don't you just love the falgs on it LOL!




And here is the TQ Headquarters ship! It is loaded with all the information you need to understand how TQ operates, it has picture samples for all those on their first quest as well as those of us who have done a few but need refreshers or tips on how to locate some of those tricky ones. You also get your first clue to start here. It really is quite a Pirate ship!


so Ahoy there! Come and join us for the next hunt!
see you at TQ in SL............................

Sunrise on the Beach with friends




What a glorious sunrise on the beach shared with friends! This is taken at Eternal Life on the beach in front of my friend Lavinia's Rental Condos. They edge the Waterpark there. it is a lovely place and it is quite relaxing to sit and take it all in!
see you in sl...................................

Plant & Walker


This is Plant and Walker on the rocking bench that Walker made. He is quite talented with creating! He has a wonderful pair of shops too where he sells wall art which are photographs and paintings he has done as well as some rugs and other misc. items.

He started this rocking bench with something much like a spring and it evolved into it's own thing LOL Walker said he had to follow it's dream.

This is taken inside the building at CGM. A great place to check out and there is also a new art gallery there you can see! Plant is constantly improving on the place and you never know what you might find there! Look up Creations Groans Ministries and then hop over to check the place out!

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

WATER SLIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So I was out wandering around and ran across this water slide at a place called Daz. I just had to try it out. LOL I guess heels and jeans aren't the appropriate attire but it was fun none the less! So this got me to thinking that since I basically live at a sports park on the beach we need a slide to. Thus began the hunt and trying out of water slides. I started alone but soon dragged the land owner into it also he he :)


This was one we tried out and BOY was it scary! Straight down - it is so high you can't even see the land below. Lav called it GINORMOUS and she was right! It was obviously too large for our land but was fun to ride :0)

Off to do more looking we went. Well it got late and we gave up for the night. I tried looking more the next day and found a great spiral that wasn't too big on prim counts too. I waited all day to get ahold of Lav to tell her - ok well not ALL day but you know I was excited for her to come online so I could have her check it out. Well the place I found it at in the AM and rode it and splashed in the water was totally different that evening when I finally was able to show Lav. We more or less went down it then skidded on dry land LOL! There was no water on it so it was more like the slide at the sandbox...we weren't too sure...

Well I went to SLExchange and was looking after IM'ing the maker of that one and it was there and it was reasonable and LOW prim count so we went for it!

Here it is setting on the Sports Park beach....


see the cottages in the back - one of them is mine! I will share more pictures of it another post.
Anyway the slide is great and we have had many riders already! I am glad we went for it and am thankful for a great land owner who likes to do improvement and make more fun things to do there! She is wonderful! If you are looking for a place to rent IM me as she has rentals as do some other residents nearby.

Course I had to try the slide out ...
don't recall why I stood up half way through but here I am on the slide!

If you want to give it a try please come by the Sim (Eternal Life) we are glad to have guests!


see you in world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
