3rd Annual Little Gift Hunt at the Retreat!!!

The holidays are approaching very quickly once again. Time flies when you are having so much fun in Second Life.

I am so happy to announce that the Little Gift Hunt will again be right here at the beautiful retreat.

Find 10 little gift boxes filled with some goodies for you. This is all free.

Just come through the gates into the Winter Wonderland!!!

Enjoy the Retreat and the peaceful surroundings. Winter is just beautiful here. The Chapel will be a perfect picture holiday card. All areas at the Retreat are open to the public year-round. Some items and poses may need you to join the group which you find at the entrance. 

The Chapel also holds weddings and is free of charge. You may donate if you like. For a full-service wedding, we can negotiate a small fee. (Please note there are no gift boxes hidden in the chapel and please respect any ceremony that may be happening when you are visiting here)

COMING: The Holiday Store...will be announced and updated here. The store will contain some fabulous holiday decor and gift ideas.

Take a Holiday

"Vacations mean a change of pace, a gentleness with ourselves, a time of rest and renewal, and a time to stretch ourselves and encounter new people, new lands, new ways, and new options."

Sometimes it is a good idea to escape from clubs, building and shopping and take a holiday.

Diamond Luxury Yachts Travels can give you the holiday you can relax with in style.

Here in the Blake Sea you can pretty much feel free and get away from people.

Value of Time

"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today."

And therefore we spend every moment we can...together. I like that idea very much.

I don't mind waiting for you, I will do it patiently. I know you are coming. Waiting gives me a chance to think about us and it always brings me a smile.

Make use of time, let not advantage slip.

William Shakespeare

Waiting for Zeek at the Willows

Dancing with you is always a time well spend. We get a chance to be close and to feel each other. The music adds to this. I hope we never stop dancing as we start our life together.

The fireworks were stunning. I love spending the Holidays together with you. I look forward to many holidays as spectacular as the fireworks we saw today.Thank you for spending time with me :)

Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.

Merry Christmas :)

Wishing all my Second Life friends a wonderful Christmas. May all your wishes have been fulfilled for you, especially love.

You packed your last two bags.

A taxi's 'round the bend.
You used to laugh out loud,
But you can't remember when.
You lost your lies.
It's like your moving out of time,
And the whole word
crumbles right beneath you.

So, I might've made a few mistakes,
But that was back when you would smile,
And we would go everywhere,
But we ain't been there for awhile.
And this I know,
There's a place that we can go-
A place where I can finally let you know.

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
We're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon.

I hope you find
whatever you've been lookin' for.
Just remember where you're from
and who you are,
'Cause there's a thousand lights
that'll make you feel brand new,
But if you ever lose your way,
I'll leave one on for you.

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
So, come back and you sit down. Relax.
Everything's to see
that you've come a long, long way,
And it's the place that you should be.

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
And we're the only one's that around,
We're the only one's that around this Babylon.

A cozy place surrounded by a serene forest. Lots of wonderful details inside the cottage. We took the liberty and stayed here for awhile. You can hear the song "Silent Night" in German...so peaceful.

I hope I did not leave any snow on the sofa. Go take this sleigh to the cottage :)

Stay tuned for the next set of stops :)

The First Annual Tour of Lights is looking for Bloggers!

We are very excited to present Second Life's First Annual Tour of Lights -- a residential tour of homes in celebration of the Holiday Season! Over 30 SL residents have come together to open their homes on this grid-wide journey, and we'd love for you to join us!

Many residents do not have access to professional photographers. Our hope is to bring together a group of talented Bloggers who will help us commemorate this self-guided tour and the hard work of all those who have opened their homes for it. Please help us capture the magic of the season for all those participating in the tour with your amazing pictures of their spaces! It would truly make their SL Christmas one to remember.

All Bloggers will have the chance to share their photos in the Tour of Homes Flickr Group, as well as have photos and Blog Links posted on the official Tour of Lights Website!

Signing up is easy! Please follow the link below!

Holiday with the cats!!!

We love to pamper our cats. Sometimes we go a bit overboard, but we wanted to show them some holiday lights.
I think they love it :)

I think they should make holiday sweaters for the cats like the one Micheal has on...what do you think?

...stylish...ravishing... festive...

Happy 4th of July

I have been actually busy with real life and had not much time for second life...what the hell...but that is how it goes.
I am wishing all of you a wonderful 4th of July...may each spark of fireworks bring you lots of love and smiles.

Micheal and I have bought a small little spot in the ocean...shhhhh we cannot tell where yet...
