THE RETREAT

Celebrating Snow :)

I am so pleased with the snow falling at the Retreat, I decided to celebrate it and catch some of the snowflakes for next year :)

The upcoming photo contest will start Nov 15 through Dec 31, 2014. The Theme is Winter and the holidays. All photographs must be taken at the Retreat and uploaded to the Retreat Flickr Group. Winners will be announced on January 4th, 2015.

During the December month The Little "Gift" Hunt will also be happening at the Retreat. 10 little gift will be hidden throughout the Retreat. All you have to do is find them.
This event starts December 1 through Dec 31, 2014

There will also be an Advent Calendar with a daily gift during December...in the Pavillon

So hurry down to the Retreat and take a look around.

Titanawak

Titanawak is a huge boat frozen in time and ice. Come and have a drink at the bar with friends, a talk by the fireside, have a dinner, dance, play the piano for your lover, relax in the lounges, games room, library, bedroom or pool. Learn the exhibited artwork, the museum dedicated to the Titanic memorabilia. Explore the sea ice, icebergs and their secret places.

I enjoyed this very "cool" place. I will be back for sure, because there is much to see behind those icebergs.

Beware of the cold climate...it may take you over.

It was funny in away and I did not get any pictures of this, but there was this guy and Micheal who challenged each other for a dance off. What people do when they are cold. Needless to say it was pretty funny and I cannot decide the winner here at all. Perhaps they need to have an official dance-off. What do you think?

End of the Holidays!!!

Since the Holidays are over, I was thinking on redoing the backyard of our Monty Retreat...new trees and poses. A lovely garden. I better get to work on this.

Micheal and I decided to go and explore a little tonight. We found the sim Frosty Night 2013 and collect some free gifts there.
It is also a nice place to dance :)

Watch out....I am falling on you :) This sim is a fun place to just lounge around in the umbrella or fly over...it is very pretty here and peaceful.

A Beautiful Garden

A beautiful garden needs a labor of love, even here in Second Life. I found this cute pose for the garden. I think the hard part of building is to remember where you have your stuff in your inventory and also where things were. Winter is almost done and I have to start looking for the flowers and spring items.

Ice Princess

Brew me a cup for a winter's night.

For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;

Spice it with love and stir it with care,

And I'll toast our bright eyes,

my sweetheart fair.

I learned a few building skills and created a little ice skating rink over our pool. After all ice skating and hockey comes second nature to Micheal. He of course made it extra special by giving me this beautiful gown for skating...so now I am his ice princess.

Good thing I already have a few things for him...he only deserves the very best...

Doing Nothing...is something !

Those relaxing days of summer. I love to go to beaches in second life and wear the latest swimsuits and just sunbath..
Maybe have a nice glass of diet-coke with ice...and I am set for the afternoon.
