Last week for the Halloween Pumpkin Hunt...post your pics on Flickr

This is the last week to find all the pumpkins at the retreat...
Come pose a picture with "Lobo" the wolf and post it into the Flickr Group...never know what prize I may give for the best picture of the retreat while you are hunting.

Pumpkins are filled early !!!!

I managed to fill the pumpkin early....yeah. So those who read the blog are lucky they can go look for them.
Look for other goodies too around the retreat, like the free lanterns in the Pavillon.

Get some free pumpkin spice coffee, so look for this cup :)

Lanterns

Laterne, Laterne
Sonne, Mond und Sterne
Brenne auf, mein Licht,
Brenne auf, mein Licht
Aber nur meine liebe Laterne nicht.

In Germany around November 11 children celebrate a lantern festival by walking at dusk with their lantern and singing songs. So this beautiful lantern reminded me of this fun event.

 This would be a fun event at the retreat. I might just in cooperate it into the October Halloween Pumpkin Hunt. More about this later, but it should be fun searching for pumpkins looking in the dark just using your lanterns.

Tea Time?

Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. - Henry Fielding
Home is where the tea is and we hope you make yourself at home at our lovely retreat. Stop by anytime.

Maybe you discover our cat room upstairs. Don't forget to pet the kitties, they love it!

You might also meet our friend Soon...I am sure he would love to chit-chat with you.

Easter Egg Hunt....happening now :)

Just a quick reminder that our 2nd annual Easter Egg Hunt is happening at the moment.....just go visit the Retreat and go to the back garden...you will look for 10 eggs...they have some nice goodies in them :)

We bought some new furniture for the cat room, so stop by and try them out...I love decorating.

 LOL, you see "Anjelikka" our cat photobomb the picture above...

I am trying to entertain the cats with some music. Ok, I bribed them with some catnip so they would listen.

Hanging out!

Tonight we were hanging out with our niece Pipp, who just recently got divorced. In Second Life marriages last about a few weeks. There are a few of us who can make it work for a long time and eventually bring it to the real world, but this takes work and commitment just like a real marriage.

Love is...

We have been busy redecorating the backyard at the A&M Retreat. There will be a beautiful garden and many poses for picture taking. I love romance :) and Micheal is always full of surprises when it comes to romance.
We are looking forward to celebrate our two years together in March. Wow!!! Where does time go?

Thanksgiving never tastes so good !

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

We had a little early Thanksgiving dinner today. So much yummy food. One thing to be thankful for is in Second Life you can eat all of this food and never gain a "prim", but it sure looks so good. We should invite some people to come over and enjoy this feast. If you are in the area of our lovely retreat in Monty, stop by and eat, there is plenty of food.

I am forever grateful to have Micheal here with me to explore and do all the craziness that you can experience in SL. He is the best in so many ways. Thank you Micheal....smooches to you :)

 Oh by the way, the lovely dinner table and food you can get for free if you are a premium member.

Come and see the animals!

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. ~George Eliot

I am so happy to report our new neighbor Heather has set up her H&A Horse Ranch, so come and see Anatasha...

Anatasha :)

I added a gate from the A&M Retreat and the Horse Ranch so you can now visit both and take some gorgeous pictures of the animals...look for birds, butterflies, cats of course and some pigeons.
