Ownership of the island is now shared by a small group, including me. But I do not think of myself as an "owner", more like a caretaker or steward. I am helping to keep the island open for creative uses like music, meditation, and poetry. <br /><br />I was not around for the early years of Perfect Paradise, so can't tell you much about that history.

It is a quiet neighborhood on Bellisseria with the lovely traditional homes lining the streets along the gulf. I am looking at a lovely dark blue trad with curtains on the windows and flowers below on the ground. I walked around the house and found a pool in the back that looked inviting.The view is lovely. Further along at the water’s edge is a Bumper boat rezzer set for anyone to use. I walked back to the entrance to the front to the entrance of the house called Mysterious Manor. It was time to go in and find out why. It is dark.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZwjA80mlvpMtRvQTl5zKbGbkuh60GjlJ37yDVns5MuV0uPzyFcHymboako0CDaF7fzRKm_B4HUM0F8sSNW8CyvOVGLDZ5ve-w-RzCpZlJn0Dpt7LCAUUdaX5XgD1CX89RKykHDOWgPIN8g8ChYoiS39fMYccO-yTJ_XMh0abku4WXgFHL9aoW7DyUZdqF/s3312/gemma_haunted_002.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1813" data-original-width="3312" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZwjA80mlvpMtRvQTl5zKbGbkuh60GjlJ37yDVns5MuV0uPzyFcHymboako0CDaF7fzRKm_B4HUM0F8sSNW8CyvOVGLDZ5ve-w-RzCpZlJn0Dpt7LCAUUdaX5XgD1CX89RKykHDOWgPIN8g8ChYoiS39fMYccO-yTJ_XMh0abku4WXgFHL9aoW7DyUZdqF/w400-h219/gemma_haunted_002.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The foyer held a welcome sign that in itself was a warning. . Inside I found the owner, Evangeline Ling, working on some finishing touches . In the first sitting room room is a Ouija board set for visitors to use. The directions are there on a notecard. A fortune teller machine is in another corner and a strange hand table in another corner, sit and talk to it. Be sure to look at the art in the house as you wander.

She has placed Rem-pods to indicate change of temperature when a spirit is present and EVPs that interpret sounds heard that may be spirits. Upstairs in a room filled with dolls and little creatures I found two Annabelle replicas in cases on the wall. She is a porcelain doll possessed by a demonic spirit. Annabelle is considered their most dangerous and haunted item, and has a habit of moving around unseen. Evangeline said she would be very afraid if she ran into the doll in real life. The cases are labeled DO NOT OPEN, but I cannot resist such a sign and found out what happens when one does open. I know that Annabelle was in the ocult museum belonging to the Warrens in Connecticut which is closed.. I wonder where she is now.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9aE4jiMmFUCPGHml6lIuUdF2vf4W_B1nPR0kujDiUzAPVU-wynZcS6uZk2f0lpTcdk4ucQV2s7MfuhYqrg_Xe74btXGR0xPiNGeATVrB9WB80akvHdKv2oar8RYnbEfq1Byvrm-63rHb1siT_EAwbhcnu9CM-qic9zz7qO0rJTjlYSZ4NPZWgiQoTDQaz/s3312/gemma_haunted_010.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1813" data-original-width="3312" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9aE4jiMmFUCPGHml6lIuUdF2vf4W_B1nPR0kujDiUzAPVU-wynZcS6uZk2f0lpTcdk4ucQV2s7MfuhYqrg_Xe74btXGR0xPiNGeATVrB9WB80akvHdKv2oar8RYnbEfq1Byvrm-63rHb1siT_EAwbhcnu9CM-qic9zz7qO0rJTjlYSZ4NPZWgiQoTDQaz/w400-h219/gemma_haunted_010.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Anyone is invited to come and hang out there .

This is the Journal of Record of the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy that I often write about in the SL Newser. <a href="https://lastditch.typepad.com/bbbgazette/">https://lastditch.typepad.com/bbbgazette/</a> . This way I can keep track of events that are upcoming and get the latest places that have added terminals for passport stamps. I then head right over to collect the new stamps before I miss any. It also gives me a chance to see new places on the grid that might make an article about interesting places you might enjoy visiting. Terminals for passport stamps available to all not only Bellisseria residents , are all over the grid on different continents and private regions also.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkckw3O-cXVEV3Y_H-ab0oHsXoHQK1dRHZfhOcU7iM_nIo39TPXWIrbrbUmouxI4I2sMoKReGAGC5FbZJUCaUWnAoSrvj50iMdyB6CZcYDIZ-1EJynC5JbWGNqyDYSjS8scHO3XjsfqEKZtlAJ9rRUItBcRlvRTzUIYwAsPXs59-5t057cHJFpajnIifo/s3312/gemma_belli%20commisary_001.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1813" data-original-width="3312" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkckw3O-cXVEV3Y_H-ab0oHsXoHQK1dRHZfhOcU7iM_nIo39TPXWIrbrbUmouxI4I2sMoKReGAGC5FbZJUCaUWnAoSrvj50iMdyB6CZcYDIZ-1EJynC5JbWGNqyDYSjS8scHO3XjsfqEKZtlAJ9rRUItBcRlvRTzUIYwAsPXs59-5t057cHJFpajnIifo/w400-h219/gemma_belli%20commisary_001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />This Saturday I actually revisited a

there was a stamp terminal there before now there is also a new one
upstairs in a room called the Breakup Room. It is a comfortable room
with a sofa and large art pieces. In a chair sits Margo. Margo will talk
to you about your issues if you address her.

you wander next door there is a delightful room that seems a bit out of
place but at the Commissary but a nice place to sit and relax. It is
called Mushroom Land. Be sure to take a look at all the art pieces in
the rooms . There are some early Linden items here and there . Wander
into other rooms you will find goodies to collect . At the entrance
there is an information card that tells you about the commissary. There
is food in most rooms. I had a great bowl of chili and also a filling
club sandwich while I looked around. I also picked up an interesting
notecard that directed me to other locations where I could talk to more
botchats . I will check them out. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hartsmere/63/136/27">http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hartsmere/63/136/27</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSCwmgl6UhO_74od_W1WYFnjH7F4yWhazAyfnDb-145lwJa2h76hhGCedaTRzW2I9UwRFsyaDDoV6V6UFrXG_vBrlYnovbohrxNQbKbThgY8roa5qLyRUMy0hcktmWtkjdH71MgDZL75ZKGPcR5bj-FXJJAAylFSu3HpHFbiYSp8_50oBAW97gUBt-m13L/s3312/gemma_belli%20commisary%20kasada_001.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1813" data-original-width="3312" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSCwmgl6UhO_74od_W1WYFnjH7F4yWhazAyfnDb-145lwJa2h76hhGCedaTRzW2I9UwRFsyaDDoV6V6UFrXG_vBrlYnovbohrxNQbKbThgY8roa5qLyRUMy0hcktmWtkjdH71MgDZL75ZKGPcR5bj-FXJJAAylFSu3HpHFbiYSp8_50oBAW97gUBt-m13L/w400-h219/gemma_belli%20commisary%20kasada_001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Another charming location with a new stamp terminal that I checked out was Kasada.

They are terrific !<br /><br /><i><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Gemma Cleanslate</span></b></i><br /><br /></div>Bixyl Shuftanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15409792769906782556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566908849285403524.post-46846637170101064102024-01-24T06:00:00.032-05:002024-01-24T06:00:00.140-05:00HealthInfo Island<div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">By Gemma Cleanslate</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr_sWKh6qNAHtz5rkb3r5VBtiFEdPsweAnArKMAh-M8UJrgq26FrQsoxenIhojUxIHKqshfwbjCA-25ggS73e-e5uAduQZhbVKWDaN2kSZGVH8s1RHjwdFUFOZi52pJ8MYxMK6sobSOmnPfcxO54P-GRhQISqwxX7Pjv7n5HRVKipl5nSVgmSopXf6RFMA/s3312/gemma_health%20island_006.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1813" data-original-width="3312" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr_sWKh6qNAHtz5rkb3r5VBtiFEdPsweAnArKMAh-M8UJrgq26FrQsoxenIhojUxIHKqshfwbjCA-25ggS73e-e5uAduQZhbVKWDaN2kSZGVH8s1RHjwdFUFOZi52pJ8MYxMK6sobSOmnPfcxO54P-GRhQISqwxX7Pjv7n5HRVKipl5nSVgmSopXf6RFMA/w400-h219/gemma_health%20island_006.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Occasionally I like to remind everyone that there is an excellent source of Health information in SL.Healthinfo Island is a wonderful region to visit whatever your needs. This is the Mission statement:<br /><br />“The mission of Healthinfo Island is to provide timely, accurate, and accessible information on topics of physical, emotional, and mental health. This is done through interactive displays, links to outside resources, group events, and personalized assistance.<br /><br />The Consumer Health Library at HealthInfo Island is here to help SL residents with health information needs. “<br /><br />If you look at the ground you will see a blue arrow . It is a TP hud. Click to see where you want to go.<br /><br />It is fun to just walk around to discover everything but if you want a certain place use it.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZelQVFedbsB9d3oDupmSksQvL11MOtn21q8TvNIPhWmpTQGkAnymPACMhjOxCiHjyNciirsNVb9Z5uf3chzspmnzHMjJ_gNguARst6d_o3KQoVEtBtk-I7JgNjPFfP-1ZslxctT44bIRmKdOi8MGBJqDXpnkMges89LD4M6rJmu6bNdOCEW-7qs4qEDsn/s3312/gemma_health%20island_001(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1813" data-original-width="3312" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZelQVFedbsB9d3oDupmSksQvL11MOtn21q8TvNIPhWmpTQGkAnymPACMhjOxCiHjyNciirsNVb9Z5uf3chzspmnzHMjJ_gNguARst6d_o3KQoVEtBtk-I7JgNjPFfP-1ZslxctT44bIRmKdOi8MGBJqDXpnkMges89LD4M6rJmu6bNdOCEW-7qs4qEDsn/w400-h219/gemma_health%20island_001(1).png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The island is sponsored and maintained by The Virtual Ability group and there are various sites on the island that remain open all the time to visitors. There are sites that change monthly with new information on various illnesses and what is going on in the research and cure information.<br /><br />This month in the Healthy Living Display area there is an excellent display on Pneumonia. Follow the arrows to learn all about pneumonia , its types, diagnosis, and many resources for more information. Click each poster to read about it.<br /><br />Check out the exhibit on swine flu and its effects and relationship with humans.

It is a topic I don’t really know that much about so I spent time reading all about tropical diseases. January 29 is World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day so it is very relevant. Since many don’t live in a tropic area we often ignore such diseases but we really should check some of them out for travel purposes, not to mention climate change. I know I have had vaccines before I visited certain countries. Actually I met people who have had a few of these diseases myself.<br /><br />Not comfortable !!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVMK1ENgeQFPpkxDcM5U5RKpsmUy7K5LrcuAzHQJRtiy42ud-yF3orO2OgFGwLRcYSJm0L9it1iOwsyh2iO6a8T1zsIh-1kgn17NsJl-5RTIVrCxlq35Abk0aQ999APcHXHdFjce4lVMZ6wrBCRXpXU0uU8V0j9RiROBMnFdOSH5M7GumZgaNt5sBLl5w/s3312/gemma_health%20island_005.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1813" data-original-width="3312" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVMK1ENgeQFPpkxDcM5U5RKpsmUy7K5LrcuAzHQJRtiy42ud-yF3orO2OgFGwLRcYSJm0L9it1iOwsyh2iO6a8T1zsIh-1kgn17NsJl-5RTIVrCxlq35Abk0aQ999APcHXHdFjce4lVMZ6wrBCRXpXU0uU8V0j9RiROBMnFdOSH5M7GumZgaNt5sBLl5w/w400-h219/gemma_health%20island_005.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The Research Pavilion is amazing! It is filled with information about clinical trials from defining them to information about ongoing trials one might be interested in joining. There are some dealing with cancer and heart. It tells one how to contact persons who can talk about enrollment in a study also.<br /><br />There is a Consumer Health Library nearby with more information about ongoing diseases like Covid.<br /><br />At the Health Exhibit there are posters with a myriad of questions about certain possible assists for dealing with winter illnesses. Are they real or myths?

I have taken many avatars there. It is called the Path of Support. It has posters for the plethora of amazing support groups that exist in sl to help those who need help with so many chronic diseases, addiction, mental health, disabilities and more. Each poster gives a description of the group’s mission and by clicking one can join the group they choose.<br /><br />This wonderful island gives so much aid to people who need assistance. If you have a question you can contact Eme Capalini or Gentle Heron . I suggest you visit and roam around to see all it has to offer .<br /><br />This is the center Pavilion. Remember there will be a change of information for February.<br /><br /><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Healthinfo%20Island/128/126/24">http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Healthinfo%20Island/128/126/24</a> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Gemma Cleanslate </span></b></i><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Bixyl Shuftanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15409792769906782556noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566908849285403524.post-87733389028397775952024-01-08T06:00:00.018-05:002024-01-08T06:00:00.143-05:00More Winter Places: Astoria And Adagio Winterland<div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> By Gemma Cleanslate<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwtTv_pS6cwnNuPskoMdjPKcVeAFqNmCBJZH5g4mBsGX6uoYG7MhOH4dQMRviDcO6XWbY8Zc1Azb8q3dxbWbFeGCsGbYFeVygtCwwWqatZSH6P9wlxURkHN6nFtX_OH4utyq795lyCEYuXcHjvUVQJ1A1917KAAzICC0zZVFSLE0blLaA9gJDfDtyto36/s3092/gemma_after%20chrus%20astoria_006.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1691" data-original-width="3092" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwtTv_pS6cwnNuPskoMdjPKcVeAFqNmCBJZH5g4mBsGX6uoYG7MhOH4dQMRviDcO6XWbY8Zc1Azb8q3dxbWbFeGCsGbYFeVygtCwwWqatZSH6P9wlxURkHN6nFtX_OH4utyq795lyCEYuXcHjvUVQJ1A1917KAAzICC0zZVFSLE0blLaA9gJDfDtyto36/w400-h219/gemma_after%20chrus%20astoria_006.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Winter is just beginning ! There are so many snowy, icy places to visit and hang out in winter mode. I visited a few starting in my list at two A places. I give them both an A mark for their beauty and friendliness for visitors.<br /><br />“Welcome to Astoria; Be sure to use the shared environment to experience the best version of this beautiful sim. Have fun exploring, find the hidden tunnels and enjoy your stay! “On arrival you will be right next to the cocoa stand , a good place to plan your day.

Originally just a tiny beach building made for parties once a week,
since then the club has grown both in size and the number of events,
currently having several a week. The new build has more than just a
dance floor. There is a seating area to rest in between events (or if a
couple want to get away from the dance floor).<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJBpfHmGfM76inkVp_htP__p7UTEmVVUFQ4OASdFa2z35V-B0fYTOMokib0j6dcGA9JjCjFSLmwuPNbc1D76xEnyb7rdy2yjU8Uu_oF1-VVqKdw_45LQKszhJ8_NjaRCtwg-QuUoJY0QqULWRiXffAfb3SHgwG5W9t2WID1ujFjVG1biyS6a-gWc4fIBWl/s1656/jan02'24_009.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="979" data-original-width="1656" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJBpfHmGfM76inkVp_htP__p7UTEmVVUFQ4OASdFa2z35V-B0fYTOMokib0j6dcGA9JjCjFSLmwuPNbc1D76xEnyb7rdy2yjU8Uu_oF1-VVqKdw_45LQKszhJ8_NjaRCtwg-QuUoJY0QqULWRiXffAfb3SHgwG5W9t2WID1ujFjVG1biyS6a-gWc4fIBWl/w400-h236/jan02'24_009.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There's also a movie theater, with a huge selection of movies. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNmrlUFkHjxudxY25CqN7aPAhqKvGWniCFbo3me3UjZr5JweG3bF4FmFAC66v-K4Q-oZXVRG-GApVK1VUOgZt9aHYl3XfqeFoHUcSq1hpQ0euCBBTWGAeSvV9er_yVO0N7SRTrhPY_9HULKxlO0R-oNtDI0pUqtv9anRb-4qMv_xXeM3cZGRoSrE0mKKgZ/s1656/dec07'23_033.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="979" data-original-width="1656" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNmrlUFkHjxudxY25CqN7aPAhqKvGWniCFbo3me3UjZr5JweG3bF4FmFAC66v-K4Q-oZXVRG-GApVK1VUOgZt9aHYl3XfqeFoHUcSq1hpQ0euCBBTWGAeSvV9er_yVO0N7SRTrhPY_9HULKxlO0R-oNtDI0pUqtv9anRb-4qMv_xXeM3cZGRoSrE0mKKgZ/w400-h236/dec07'23_033.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">There's an inner tube ride that takes you around much of the sim.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrag1aslmgIsIkIvC-kdtocuO9n4Ig8jpjK7Md4lfYl-a6kR6d_weVQ4XTosBImXls_epYymxReJeOasY34pqLSimQ1i_FKAZuX_rfoxp2-hve8lGAeKXmD707gXyvATvxFQ2O5j8HIBafpq0ew7fDhClgvwFJmLp2FQjaM5pkv75_Tnkaqmj0zNQpRGf_/s1656/jan02'24_008.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="979" data-original-width="1656" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrag1aslmgIsIkIvC-kdtocuO9n4Ig8jpjK7Md4lfYl-a6kR6d_weVQ4XTosBImXls_epYymxReJeOasY34pqLSimQ1i_FKAZuX_rfoxp2-hve8lGAeKXmD707gXyvATvxFQ2O5j8HIBafpq0ew7fDhClgvwFJmLp2FQjaM5pkv75_Tnkaqmj0zNQpRGf_/w400-h236/jan02'24_008.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">And the place being a club, next to the dance floor is a bar where people can sit and chat and get a (virtual) drink.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC68Tt8VNTfCHnSwK8ZPRPhKUdje946Uy2AtTXeHt6i42rWaUA7bSt-m0eWnjLT094ek18Nzvrk3wctnRFY9w7SKgf4I2gJ0fKwFiPkXS-k819kJ5vkkYyev_Nn6yzeJdpW-KmDexPAi5V9iUmh_xba3iZLu7RecVwFtdVdfVUWkP4XmHx5-tg6UPP5N6S/s1294/happyvixenjan01'24.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="1294" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC68Tt8VNTfCHnSwK8ZPRPhKUdje946Uy2AtTXeHt6i42rWaUA7bSt-m0eWnjLT094ek18Nzvrk3wctnRFY9w7SKgf4I2gJ0fKwFiPkXS-k819kJ5vkkYyev_Nn6yzeJdpW-KmDexPAi5V9iUmh_xba3iZLu7RecVwFtdVdfVUWkP4XmHx5-tg6UPP5N6S/w400-h210/happyvixenjan01'24.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Picture by Nydia Tungsten</i><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />The club was closed for several days for the Christmas holiday, to allow for things to be moved from the old location to the new one.

Every year the installation is the familiar which is wonderful since the basics are so charming. It is like visiting a vacation spot you go back to often, but every year there are additions to see and enjoy. The enchantment of the season is all over the regions. One can explore in a carriage ride over the snowy woodlands . Or the balloon ride that gives you a view from above.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIoYNrleDwQkBilf4hQuhG4uKUP_AxgasyWQHOE3wfmihYoj56xwrlQ3f0WUwxpad8yNhuMF9TnJ2dxH4h5NQjCcHw49Z3J1gpo8qqRg9RZyLP7MY8qvFXD6bv294Xo7TOkN6ggAcDBgAeBMBdHES_L0IG-cYNIk_tKDD6VP5M5eR1qUImUF7GZQWGHJC/s3092/gemma_chris%20calas_007.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1691" data-original-width="3092" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIoYNrleDwQkBilf4hQuhG4uKUP_AxgasyWQHOE3wfmihYoj56xwrlQ3f0WUwxpad8yNhuMF9TnJ2dxH4h5NQjCcHw49Z3J1gpo8qqRg9RZyLP7MY8qvFXD6bv294Xo7TOkN6ggAcDBgAeBMBdHES_L0IG-cYNIk_tKDD6VP5M5eR1qUImUF7GZQWGHJC/w400-h219/gemma_chris%20calas_007.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The Pavilion is at the top of the hill above the massive skating area

I saw a poster at another Christmas place and went over to check it out. It is sponsored by THE GROVE, KAERRI & SURPLUS and is gorgeous! So many of my favorite designers had shops there.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLbjIf1ShAeQxqPIw4W42HuQnpwpm8dDK_2y335Qjgpbv3TxIg_WMrM-9ASZRoyDm1wDdXDi__j3byyXXZbn9RAzn4Ahp37H-aWUoP_mrs-Qjk1czdSc1b_V3WmBwHaK-XmhDB-9ooCeVBr_UmrJ950iZGjNUzGgA1x5WX4RoPVHUTclUmZuUR4zFB6zqJ/s2792/gemma_chris%20the%20grove_004+.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1528" data-original-width="2792" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLbjIf1ShAeQxqPIw4W42HuQnpwpm8dDK_2y335Qjgpbv3TxIg_WMrM-9ASZRoyDm1wDdXDi__j3byyXXZbn9RAzn4Ahp37H-aWUoP_mrs-Qjk1czdSc1b_V3WmBwHaK-XmhDB-9ooCeVBr_UmrJ950iZGjNUzGgA1x5WX4RoPVHUTclUmZuUR4zFB6zqJ/w400-h219/gemma_chris%20the%20grove_004+.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Each shop has a gift box with lovely gifts in them. Crito Galtier of The Grove said “There are 123 shops filled with holiday items and every store has a free gift for you. 123 FREE gifts, people! 123!” It looked like more than 123 to me! It is massive in scope. One can find anything there from buildings to furniture to food, and outfits and classy cars and so much more!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhypr884c-m0-QuIi-VC7e6B2NNXeGKxGNsmBoGruxNfQJmLesk0UZtguKK4To9RlORj7VSLmUWYgjSufgx2XkbdoGUckmMKRYzObcxl6oPYn-fwnSm30N0nep7TOOHfaDgNo69-WH9K5k_bHMdpaUc2Sy-6T7XkqNnCsyI_937AAYerZEeBh7exWulfk1X/s2792/gemma_chris%20the%20grove_006.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1528" data-original-width="2792" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhypr884c-m0-QuIi-VC7e6B2NNXeGKxGNsmBoGruxNfQJmLesk0UZtguKK4To9RlORj7VSLmUWYgjSufgx2XkbdoGUckmMKRYzObcxl6oPYn-fwnSm30N0nep7TOOHfaDgNo69-WH9K5k_bHMdpaUc2Sy-6T7XkqNnCsyI_937AAYerZEeBh7exWulfk1X/w400-h219/gemma_chris%20the%20grove_006.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />While I was checking everything out floats were passing by on the roads.

Check the second life destinations. I chose a few to write about that caught my attention when I visited them. Kringle County was one that I really brought me back several times to visit This is where I went after a notice to come see Santa and have a photo taken with him. I got all dressed up and arrived to be one adult among lots of little tots having their pictures taken and telling Santa what they wanted. Santa was live and was asking what they wanted in voice. When I sat I told Santa I wanted more prims. Living on Bellisseria we get just so many for our Linden homes and of course always want more! I also got a gift from Santa.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcgYhd5DH83JadVfsxYaQHTIHn8cxlsywT94fFPyxDxMpmh-yKr4lMU8UmQ7wrXp76DlX8CuRKLKY-w3yWy_en-JmVD6L5DKQl8A_SlyDK2dS95fJmVyey2RCV4ExXuTC9WlagcPy3KmCvXGaRcKewI4Oz8v2PiCnRpI3ZgmfEyYRTJMUtNzGIHxwFa-f/s2792/gemma_chris%20kringle_006+.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1528" data-original-width="2792" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcgYhd5DH83JadVfsxYaQHTIHn8cxlsywT94fFPyxDxMpmh-yKr4lMU8UmQ7wrXp76DlX8CuRKLKY-w3yWy_en-JmVD6L5DKQl8A_SlyDK2dS95fJmVyey2RCV4ExXuTC9WlagcPy3KmCvXGaRcKewI4Oz8v2PiCnRpI3ZgmfEyYRTJMUtNzGIHxwFa-f/w400-h219/gemma_chris%20kringle_006+.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Santa also is taking people around in his sleigh so I did take a ride. There is also elegant train ride to hop on and get to see the décor from the land level. Near the entrance there is a portal that takes one up to a their marvelous amusement park. I bet the parents took their tots up there after the picture taking.<br /><br />There is a third level to visit … a massive racetrack for those who love that activity!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6MhjPjbKRLpjg3cgzGQ0vlSY3oiFCdald0Z8DvPxdqALWbcZa-9MNBsDWLEZ4VWgZKmSjlpV1QlBoJZKug4TjbM6fbjZj7KGID1LouBW0Go4goL1KqXKZAYbJiLIes_zdfUlmkPeqZ_H0Rx-_AGOprzI-fJCB50vmd-UYJ3nQGFHPukO9pOrZDLYKcxM/s2792/gemma_chris%20kringle_001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1528" data-original-width="2792" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6MhjPjbKRLpjg3cgzGQ0vlSY3oiFCdald0Z8DvPxdqALWbcZa-9MNBsDWLEZ4VWgZKmSjlpV1QlBoJZKug4TjbM6fbjZj7KGID1LouBW0Go4goL1KqXKZAYbJiLIes_zdfUlmkPeqZ_H0Rx-_AGOprzI-fJCB50vmd-UYJ3nQGFHPukO9pOrZDLYKcxM/w400-h219/gemma_chris%20kringle_001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Take a walk on the streets and check out the houses as you go along.

They also plan to have the Christmas Parade beginning after right after. It will be held at Dreamville. This spot is the beginning of the parade.

Lights are on. Some trees are up, but not decorated yet. Most stores are filled with colorful décor already. It sounds early but it really is not. Now that the scary stuff is packed away we really need to think about what we are going to do for decorating our own little or huge spaces in second life. I will take you to a few of the places I love to go exploring every year to find decorations that you might like . I try hard not to shop myself but always end up adding to my own collection that I pack away from year to year.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdyUa7oSCj5pTzF2RG2mBXoSD09O3dyI8bMBehKl0DM6fKiOaTO-0GY5FKJd6z8G8d1-116THkWyC4wIaSp8qCCuGxS4MoDr9RFGl_P3e2zikkMYmreI93p95s7MJoWs10JZIqeKvOJxwnCgBPG09FDgRbUf-RrST1iU1V0xhWYWrF-2LxI2xNhFTmZ71k/s3348/gemma_chris%20dench_001(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="3348" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdyUa7oSCj5pTzF2RG2mBXoSD09O3dyI8bMBehKl0DM6fKiOaTO-0GY5FKJd6z8G8d1-116THkWyC4wIaSp8qCCuGxS4MoDr9RFGl_P3e2zikkMYmreI93p95s7MJoWs10JZIqeKvOJxwnCgBPG09FDgRbUf-RrST1iU1V0xhWYWrF-2LxI2xNhFTmZ71k/w400-h219/gemma_chris%20dench_001(1).png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Let’s go shopping!!! My first stop every year is at Dench . Outside the huge store you will find all kinds of décor for your region or lawn. Inside also. There is an advent calendar all ready set up on the upper level with Bargain Countdowns nearby. The bargain corner up there has cute little decorations for only 5L . Don’t miss that!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKCz4qVO_guHw921Hi_NKyRH1wEVPLmhJ-uHm-XDFVGaJkhuWow0hS4FlZ5LRpMQ-EeNKe9qfsWP4zuQI8JH48kwFph6-W-eCxNq1PvPP7hYZC6Fh-RCZp0m_DufFL80InYoBLM7YbjQyw9s-IOlWhJFlBpDcFwP5_gm41yr0Mih9avVvjjKOdH6a8ef9/s3096/gemma_chris%20dench2_003.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="3096" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKCz4qVO_guHw921Hi_NKyRH1wEVPLmhJ-uHm-XDFVGaJkhuWow0hS4FlZ5LRpMQ-EeNKe9qfsWP4zuQI8JH48kwFph6-W-eCxNq1PvPP7hYZC6Fh-RCZp0m_DufFL80InYoBLM7YbjQyw9s-IOlWhJFlBpDcFwP5_gm41yr0Mih9avVvjjKOdH6a8ef9/w400-h236/gemma_chris%20dench2_003.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />If you like wanderers you have your choice from penguins to Santa If you like dancing animesh partners stop on the lower level and take your pick by testing your choice of dances with one.

We gathered near the office on Swordfish and went down to the rezz zone where there were two large and comfortable helicopters waiting to take us on a flight to Victorian Merrymount, one of the community regions . Two experienced pilots, Brian and Kevin made us feel comfortable and safe on the trip. For several this was their first helicopter ride and they loved it. We did lose two or three along the way but they were rescued and joined us later . We won’t blame the pilots though.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jjZD-EwJ_CrqhcZVh1FmGB9o9kSC0Zgrpl0Zp9VXB1fKlcGWvxquxNSLTDiu6B2raUdO8_QWY8jW8pAMgXtFlzZuSedXkRTjb7r67FLproyJvs55-fwpQMRR7ck0xvQQMfxYjy5k1JWhPNb9Z-ya7DktH5w9zmrgc5YzDgwipcHBjBzKGkTYsBXeS4eI/s3348/gemma_bbb%20tour_003.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="3348" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jjZD-EwJ_CrqhcZVh1FmGB9o9kSC0Zgrpl0Zp9VXB1fKlcGWvxquxNSLTDiu6B2raUdO8_QWY8jW8pAMgXtFlzZuSedXkRTjb7r67FLproyJvs55-fwpQMRR7ck0xvQQMfxYjy5k1JWhPNb9Z-ya7DktH5w9zmrgc5YzDgwipcHBjBzKGkTYsBXeS4eI/w400-h219/gemma_bbb%20tour_003.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Merrymount is a beautiful region on Bellisseria. It offers a place to relax and enjoy games or just hanging around with friends. The Atrium is gorgeous and stands on a hill .It is open for visitors 24 hours with food and drink. There were six special stamps placed at various sites around the region and we had fun roaming to find them. For those who missed the trip they will remain until December 3.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgli6lSImVCua83oBVnAluD2QHKxATdC7cx8gbE4eCHrnttmEUzWbaFMG2wMx82eOtIMgz0CratdIWv7Riz0kXGQK8ghxUbfK2ATDCuamTufhNEX1FDYcVqzf3vWWZ8naqLXyPO1FYfayQnzBw0GJP9l1mPEnQQMuuGn3yEL3ie5uC-6BQDfs3bOvby8rZ0/s3348/gemma_bbb%20tour_006.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="3348" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgli6lSImVCua83oBVnAluD2QHKxATdC7cx8gbE4eCHrnttmEUzWbaFMG2wMx82eOtIMgz0CratdIWv7Riz0kXGQK8ghxUbfK2ATDCuamTufhNEX1FDYcVqzf3vWWZ8naqLXyPO1FYfayQnzBw0GJP9l1mPEnQQMuuGn3yEL3ie5uC-6BQDfs3bOvby8rZ0/w400-h219/gemma_bbb%20tour_006.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />On the way back we stopped off at Pegleg Lighthouse where one more stamp waited for us.

But it still takes about 15-20 minutes to set up... so come early! Click the white and yellow terminal that says "Intercontinental Passport Citizen of Second Life." It will give you a folder with a passport in it. You will need to rez it to the ground to set it up and the BBB HQ is a no-rez area. You can either TP home to set the passport up and then return, or you can go the rez zone near the BBB HQ. The terminal to get the passport is located here: <br /><br /><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Swordfish/215/58/35">http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Swordfish/215/58/35</a> <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwThUSY0Rs-cB8WIlqpILWmsHtTHnlR_3v6zoIeHTZDxVJ1RX1OX23q1_GQe1Vo_retT4sjTPam56gR-iCiKSs5BBopapy9T8S4otmG7DgWkvF1slTsm1O22nhWs8Eo7K67rkVGy4qJydjkl37wP8ULGuWIyR-Yf5LF1DKRWC62uMITsDG0ZB5uLYbebYx/s3348/gemma_stevie_002.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="3348" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwThUSY0Rs-cB8WIlqpILWmsHtTHnlR_3v6zoIeHTZDxVJ1RX1OX23q1_GQe1Vo_retT4sjTPam56gR-iCiKSs5BBopapy9T8S4otmG7DgWkvF1slTsm1O22nhWs8Eo7K67rkVGy4qJydjkl37wP8ULGuWIyR-Yf5LF1DKRWC62uMITsDG0ZB5uLYbebYx/w400-h219/gemma_stevie_002.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Sunday my friend Stevie Basavi opened her new gallery. She has shown art at various galleries but now has her own at Cesa. She says of her art .”I love art very much and want to make photos that I can feel, and that bring out emotions in others. I want to be able to put on virtual canvas the things that I have hidden inside, and to capture magic using layers of creativity, meaning I build my own sets, and create multi media pieces, using light and music in my creations when I am able”.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpPdkElFUlXz5nEM2tXeTRPoabtbAvSNZOCVCztloD2EIHSr_DRgSdSjuuwh1rRK6SHGxTIpi3Kcv-6LDfFd0GiKITxGXUYx65wZbREknrCbnvYljWwRRoI93caxR2ByK4VUZSdRR77583d0iFC-SYwHm9RNOkOQRPTZI9DysmNH_rGYCtJPSbI3zaaCb/s3348/gemma_stevie_001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="3348" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpPdkElFUlXz5nEM2tXeTRPoabtbAvSNZOCVCztloD2EIHSr_DRgSdSjuuwh1rRK6SHGxTIpi3Kcv-6LDfFd0GiKITxGXUYx65wZbREknrCbnvYljWwRRoI93caxR2ByK4VUZSdRR77583d0iFC-SYwHm9RNOkOQRPTZI9DysmNH_rGYCtJPSbI3zaaCb/w400-h219/gemma_stevie_001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Her landscapes are varied and reflect her love of the beauty created across the sl grid.

It is a delightful scene to land and see the dancing figure that I assume is the Tinker Bell hidden in a black outline. The woods are lovely and fun to walk about looking at little resting places. You are invited to join the Morph group and collect treasures hidden above and below the ground”.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWHbpauN20d01FSDZslqBFomW-h-6EShyNQLtM-Hr_PfDD1FzPkK_5Gprl0Lag2VsCZXwXK9V25dkdJHFhT5mDnXLrOZbJH31NOpH1_y9CSCJiUWtsmuePUDvsf8MYRuVccQClOs_EDCbrrdd8ylrTDhWpWt2yvlqB3gL4_rGwf9ZCu0JBBWaOywwqI8Z/s3096/Gemma_Raven%20neverland_002.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1694" data-original-width="3096" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWHbpauN20d01FSDZslqBFomW-h-6EShyNQLtM-Hr_PfDD1FzPkK_5Gprl0Lag2VsCZXwXK9V25dkdJHFhT5mDnXLrOZbJH31NOpH1_y9CSCJiUWtsmuePUDvsf8MYRuVccQClOs_EDCbrrdd8ylrTDhWpWt2yvlqB3gL4_rGwf9ZCu0JBBWaOywwqI8Z/w400-h219/Gemma_Raven%20neverland_002.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />A wonderful system of teleports will aid you to find sites around the island so you don’t miss any but just wandering is delightful. Sitting at the edge of the Mermaid lagoon and imagining is enchanting. You might find Peter Pan above the lagoon on a hill sitting on top of a bridge or lying on the grass below dangling his legs and day dreaming. There is a pirate hide-a -way but be careful...hope they are not about! Also take care at the Indian camp.

There is a trap door to get to the rooms where they have a comfortable home set up with plenty of food for themselves and visitors, Wendy’s house is darling but I never did see her. Perhaps she has returned home for a visit? Or perhaps she is hiding in the hide-away not revealing her identity. Above, when they feel safe I am sure the children have a great time playing with interactive locations, like riding the crocodile, or climbing to the tree houses, Maybe they play hide and seek or tag.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ9XHu1AFowJGDdGeEcMyU-0GxQVmjL8NX_nFuu5H32EtdZTzgReOZvgrgwZUhRfDqEyhBBFWsox991NeS4KqDp9OXtvXPMa_2x1s6-jzWd6DBpM49HV8kALHj3yfVp0Ay5ZZIACUIWPzokwcqkZH9I2ysdTFnyG6dw0pAJYMATYR_azqAEreLKFL2d0AC/s3096/Gemma_Raven%20neverland_006.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1694" data-original-width="3096" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ9XHu1AFowJGDdGeEcMyU-0GxQVmjL8NX_nFuu5H32EtdZTzgReOZvgrgwZUhRfDqEyhBBFWsox991NeS4KqDp9OXtvXPMa_2x1s6-jzWd6DBpM49HV8kALHj3yfVp0Ay5ZZIACUIWPzokwcqkZH9I2ysdTFnyG6dw0pAJYMATYR_azqAEreLKFL2d0AC/w400-h219/Gemma_Raven%20neverland_006.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />If you are not familiar with the story of Peter Pan and Wendy check this page about J M Barrie <a href="https://www.gosh.org/about-us/peter-pan/history/#:~:text=Discover%20more%20about%20JM%20Barrie,in%20Great%20Ormond%20Street%20Hospital">https://www.gosh.org/about-us/peter-pan/history/#:~:text=Discover%20more%20about%20JM%20Barrie,in%20Great%20Ormond%20Street%20Hospital</a>.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFtXbiyfAzNx42O0LpQvvw7wCeJ92BUpvCIaxNBc2Vdw7XKPP5S5WooVoOO0f0_28EvygP9kXtompCEyyT3SKn-h5si67u4kUA8KTwc3T9ni1FxclWS0c-gjn9iCZPeKfYqMT2IHHfFnvaejnmZo1c6UyhNiwmJwa93trE4Llk-Y6DxopRf1LxDrFMlZdB/s3096/gemma_raven%20cafe_004.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1694" data-original-width="3096" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFtXbiyfAzNx42O0LpQvvw7wCeJ92BUpvCIaxNBc2Vdw7XKPP5S5WooVoOO0f0_28EvygP9kXtompCEyyT3SKn-h5si67u4kUA8KTwc3T9ni1FxclWS0c-gjn9iCZPeKfYqMT2IHHfFnvaejnmZo1c6UyhNiwmJwa93trE4Llk-Y6DxopRf1LxDrFMlZdB/w400-h219/gemma_raven%20cafe_004.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />In her “spare time” Ravenstarr also created a Halloween Cafe and invites all to drop in and visit with Sage who says “Welcome to Mystic Moon Cafe, dearie.

Christmas. There are so many choices there for large scenery as above.
Beach scenes with skeletons lying around can decorate your own beach.

But recently, I
decided to check out "what lies beneath," in this case beneath the ocean
surface. So I took a look at the Destination Guide for a few underwater areas. One got my curiosity, a game. So I stopped by Madpea's Mad Mines. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifoqaBGCh9ty7kcMLJYtW-vHhqZTYaF2ihLcB4YH6JLiE3uoXUgdGaQsilX57AWjC6uXaTgGFk2C5rcLKgYuGq_DbH1eduqrUb5I1Yf1lplsNqvnaP3TRmrydCaJ8sieNOR-KSeWxQUFloYKce4XWyGllrYdCj7L6Qt-g1VQOiE_n3UFohLL79juxnetjc/s1608/august25'23_056.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="985" data-original-width="1608" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifoqaBGCh9ty7kcMLJYtW-vHhqZTYaF2ihLcB4YH6JLiE3uoXUgdGaQsilX57AWjC6uXaTgGFk2C5rcLKgYuGq_DbH1eduqrUb5I1Yf1lplsNqvnaP3TRmrydCaJ8sieNOR-KSeWxQUFloYKce4XWyGllrYdCj7L6Qt-g1VQOiE_n3UFohLL79juxnetjc/w400-h245/august25'23_056.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Welcome to Mad Mines: MadPea is searching for brave underwater adventurers to search for a long lost treasure!

I went into a cavern of twisty passages and rusty iron doors. I came across a few sea creatures such as octopuses, but they seemed harmless. But my air supply was going down in a hurry.

Each will offer different aspect of those days of old in the myths of Greece. They all loved to have water baths in their homes it seems. There are so many levels of these gods and goddess and offspring that I have forgotten but was happy to go back and see some of them and do a little research to remember how many myths are connected to them all. Then there are the offspring of the gods and humans to complicate all the stories.

released for Premium Plus members . It was a huge item of discussion and
many took advantage of them of them immediately. The first 600 available disappeared really fast. It was all amazing. I asked two
friends if I could come visit their homes to see what it was like in the
neighborhood. My first trip was over to Overshoe where BethanyMark has
her ranch.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVq6iDhbuVi6ymqLnQZVYAQulFngSHJ_ClHi0fc2AxhxiTkUI5M9lU1aSqOqygm7KHPG6HPwPwFAhs9w5wljea7xoGB3p_975zMgnpMsGMXOEnHokA-AdAQMPaLAbPB4Yb7M4aLuns3x6-3EN6NYGo3BpFQsYodTrzVcjluJzozDYydii_ruNGbkC7fHl/s3096/gemma_ranch%20bethany_001.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1694" data-original-width="3096" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVq6iDhbuVi6ymqLnQZVYAQulFngSHJ_ClHi0fc2AxhxiTkUI5M9lU1aSqOqygm7KHPG6HPwPwFAhs9w5wljea7xoGB3p_975zMgnpMsGMXOEnHokA-AdAQMPaLAbPB4Yb7M4aLuns3x6-3EN6NYGo3BpFQsYodTrzVcjluJzozDYydii_ruNGbkC7fHl/w400-h219/gemma_ranch%20bethany_001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />It is a lovely home with open space inside and out.

it is set on a pond there is an outside comfortable sitting area there.
It is fun to see how each has their own vision of ranch living. Both
wanted a piano which made me jealous since I don’t have room on my
houseboat but would love one. Both the piano and the aquarium reminded
of my first home on Thorstar where I lived for many years. Each also had
lovely artwork on the walls. Thanks to Bethany and Margo for sharing
their homes.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8FehBwWVRCqreS2PZ6yQx9m1klT_elEAQgGXyrJQE1zg64UgKsnCtxcd2JhwHCJmdQxiip7clUzxx_1fvHokcmhbyWiR54kYvUKUKjAnZPPufxbfbJuTOR1BdQ5eaaDGJ0X6qx4_tNnSD2ZJb8HsZCBJ0mrHA1PQjEojbaxsLIonmfoulVvJ9cjbN7dc/s3096/Gemma_HOmes_001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1694" data-original-width="3096" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8FehBwWVRCqreS2PZ6yQx9m1klT_elEAQgGXyrJQE1zg64UgKsnCtxcd2JhwHCJmdQxiip7clUzxx_1fvHokcmhbyWiR54kYvUKUKjAnZPPufxbfbJuTOR1BdQ5eaaDGJ0X6qx4_tNnSD2ZJb8HsZCBJ0mrHA1PQjEojbaxsLIonmfoulVvJ9cjbN7dc/w400-h219/Gemma_HOmes_001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The many variety of Linden homes can be seen at the Bellihub if you would like to check them out.<br /><br />Here at the Bellihub one can see a video, teleport to an individual type of home or walk by each one and touch the house controller in front for each type to see each of the styles you are offered.

Heading to Kinder der Nacht (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kinder%20der%20Nacht/180/199/992">180/199/992</a>). It started off in an urban setting, with the beginning of a track, going up. The place would have the following description: "25 tracks, 2 Speed tracks, hour long ride. Cars welcome when bikes not present, Horse rezzers. Open to everyone and MC neutral. Bike vendors for test drives."

It is for group members and also visitors. ღ Andee ღ (Andee Cooper) is the leader and chooses a region of interest to explore. Sometimes there are 4 or 5, sometimes more tourists which Andee makes sure get everywhere and not lost. Depending on the size of the regions one trip covers it all. Other weeks she plans several visits to the same place that has many regions and experiences.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsBOkIsIlRhWiccWXg2a-ZWbuYHnV9GW0oeEamlPhACGS0EhZ1kx7F179qOiuMlNGkq-EJ7Yp6POVCuDRGEislqWpsXPkwqreiPT971e-pbxeJOdZZGE6Q26M-zihs3bNKqBZYVQznRpmElsp_ZCdtW6gUcdlDeESSflKgVV_HwpkdP1bJk4i1YmxjuQ/s1920/gemma_tour%20andee%20cooper4_012.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1051" data-original-width="1920" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsBOkIsIlRhWiccWXg2a-ZWbuYHnV9GW0oeEamlPhACGS0EhZ1kx7F179qOiuMlNGkq-EJ7Yp6POVCuDRGEislqWpsXPkwqreiPT971e-pbxeJOdZZGE6Q26M-zihs3bNKqBZYVQznRpmElsp_ZCdtW6gUcdlDeESSflKgVV_HwpkdP1bJk4i1YmxjuQ/w400-h219/gemma_tour%20andee%20cooper4_012.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />A few weeks ago I was able to get to the Lost Unicorn with the group and it was lovely.
