Remember the Retreat is open to all residents 24/7. Enjoy!

The Vineyard at Checkmate

The Vineyard at Checkmate is one of those sims that is done in precise perfection. You feel the warm Tuscany sun ever-so basting the grapes. There is so much to explore here and every spot is detailed to pure enjoyment. This is a place you will want to visit more than once and show off to your friends.



"A rambling vineyard enveloped by a hazy sky. Wander through the grapes as they soak up the sun, producing the best vintage of pixel wine on the grid."

Lay me down

pictures taken at Life in a bowl by Cica Ghost

Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was

Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you
The night, this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call? (Who's to say you won't hear me?)
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy

Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
And I don't wanna be here if I can't be with you tonight

Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you

Happy Memorial Day !!!

As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars.
Freedom is not free!

"In World War II, more than 104,000 nurses recruited by the American Red Cross served in military hospitals at home and overseas. Red Cross employees and volunteers provided emergency message services. Twenty-seven million Red Cross packages were distributed to American and Allied prisoners of war, and staff and volunteers helped out in rest and recreation areas in the field and at military hospitals, hospital ships and trains. The Red Cross blood donor project added a new dimension to Red Cross services and collected 13.3 million units of blood for American servicemen. 78 Red Cross workers died while serving overseas during World War II."

KenAir

There were several technical difficulties with the flying lessons today. Most of the training fell into the water due to grid crash, so I cannot count any of these hours towards my training.

But good news, KenAir now has a hangar on Frasier Island at SCS Airport.

Busy working

I am sure the boss won't mind me updating my blog.

Hope you stop by the hangar and explore the airport a little.

It’s a small Grid !

There we are, Zeek and me looking at some more land near the ocean. This was the one I found on the world map and as we were looking it over we agree on how pretty it is.

Zeek telling me: “This lot is right next to this island and they have great taste. Look at those rocks and trees; I have them at the ResortL’amour.”

“Oh baby, they love cats. I can see them from here.” I reply. I am thinking, wow those cats look very much like our cats Olivia and Oliver. What a small Grid?

Now as we are scanning around even more, we notice other things that are alike. Finally, Zeek says: “Babe, I think this is our place next door.”

So I swim quickly over there and realize he is right. This is Resort L’amour. Well, I guess you can tell us two belong together in every way. We never laughed so loud and long. I mean really, that is our place next to this lot?

Nice Look-Out :)

Sleeping like a baby.

Maybe it it the Duff Beer, only Zeek would have something like this, lol?

Wait til the wedding, who knows what we do there. I think I will wear my glasses, just to make sure it is Zeek I say I do to.

Stop by and say hello, especially if you happen to come across that lot next to us...LOL

Zeek did such an amazing job on the island, I think others should come over and enjoy this romantic place. Feel free to come, take pictures...

Serenade my heart :)

“My relationship stays strong because I serenade her with my actions and I write poetry in her heart with my deeds. My endless love is expressed with more than just my words; my love is lived as a verb.”

There is this beauty around you when you serenade your words of love for me. I feel peace and joy and so much more. You are more then generous with the love you give and I see this kindness overflow to others. I love these endless acts of giving to others. Your most precious gift is the time you spend with me.

And I smile as you play me a love song.

No matter where we go or what we do, I feel wonderful.

Something old and something new....

Today was the end of The Chapel at the Retreat and Club Melatonin both were located at the Retreat. I will miss the memories made there, the laughter, the sweat and tears that went into creating them.

Chapel at the Retreat

Club Melatonin

I am off to create something bigger and better right here at the Retreat.

Don't worry the beautiful Chateau and garden are still there and will remain for everybody to enjoy, but the new and improved back lot will be fabulous for sure.

You can stop by and see the progress if you like when you stop by the Retreat.

Ocho Tango Place

New and improved the Ocho Tango Place the first place in Second Life to offer Tango and Romance. 

The Sim is now split in half and shares Digital Art -Cammino e Vivo Capovolto. It is worth a look and hang out here, even if you do not know how to Tango.

Resort L'Amour

"While you scream at your girl a real man whispers sweet nothings to her, while you ignore your girl a real man shows her true love, while you break her heart a real man picks up the pieces, so take a look before you lose out on a real woman!"

Your prince will come. He may not be riding a white horse, or have a big castle, but he will want you, and only you, and that would be better than any fairy tale.

Zeek and myself were hanging around at the Resort L'Amour, which should be open soon to the public for everybody to enjoy.

Je dois avouer que vous êtes l'amour de ma vie.

Would you join in the best day of my life?

Had we but world enough, and time, my coyness, lady, were no crime; I would sit down and think which way was best, both in act and to say.

Ten thousand years would pass us by 'til any words would dare say I, and ten more on top before I dared to kneel to you, my soul bared.

But lady, hear the minutes pass; the clocks of Fate may tick their last. My love must needs be plainly shown as now it buds out, fully grown (And if I tarried any longer your patience might find others stronger).

So, my love, here I kneel and ask of you with fervent zeal: Would you join in the best day of my life- the day you choose to be my wedded wife?

So the funniest thing that happened at the Willows was when this was suddenly said:

[20:59] Zeek: in fact baby .. will you accept this ring?
[20:59] Gavin : Daisey, Violet is lost in her closet
[20:59] Anjelikka: OMG
[20:59] Zeek: omg?
[20:59] Gavin: Wait, Did Zeek just propose??
[20:59] Faleen : hold up...
[20:59] Faleen : LOL
[20:59] Zeek: I swear i didnt bring a gun
[20:59] Daisey: LOOKS LIKE IT!!
[21:00] Di: Talk about chat lag lol
[21:00] Faleen: *waits*
[21:00] Anjelikka: everybody stop....
[21:00] Zeek: stop?
[21:00] Anjelikka: so i can read this
[21:00] Anjelikka: omg....
[21:00] Zeek: omg?

[21:00] Anjelikka: yes of course Zeek

Oh yes, I think they are still laughing at me saying Wait, stop....LOL

We went to a photo shoot today...

Flying Lessons 2

A new day and back to the review of knowing what controls to push and when....well almost.

This time the flight is at night with KenAir and Herr Kranfel is ready to let me copilot or is he? 
No wait, I can do this...this button or this one?

I don't think it took off the ground until Herr Kranfel took over the controls.
Not sure if he was tired from the flight or was he frustrated because the plane did not take off. I know it could not have been me, even-so he had to explain it several times.

Flying Lessons 1

Herr Kranfel was very generous and offered to show me once again how to fly a plane for Ken*Air.

I was explaining to Herr Kranfel how the wings and flaps work on the plane. ( I forgot to actually study for the test )I don't think he was too impressed with this.

Ok, so before I sit in the pilot seat Herr Kranfel needed to check the plane once more...Hey I said plane NOT me. He only speaks German and may have misunderstood this.

Let's see who gets there faster. I was reminded that all crew members must be fit.

Finally...I am flying. Yes, I know just a little over water, but I am flying. This was still the little plane and who knows one day I will be on the big one.
