thank you family and friends


It has been two weeks without Annemarie
For 6 months I worked daily to ensure Her happiness
And now She is gone

Comforting Anne's girls and helping them through their pain is now my focus
This was Anne's wish of me and I intend to do my best by Her

evie is by my side in all I do
As are danielle, ellie and roberta
Their love is such a wonderful gift
I am truly blessed

This year much has changed in my life
Yet all my friends continue to support me in many many ways with great understanding

Thank you all for your friendship and your love

Family and Friends
I love you all

a new experience

I attended the wedding as a bridesmaid ...
It was a lovely ceremony ...
And afterwards I danced with evie at the reception ...


And now they have a twin boy and girl ... and so here I am baby sitting ... a new experience !


Such cute babies :-)

Midnight 25/26 June NYC





My beautiful and loving mentor
My great friend

has died this night
after our last dance together at Heaven's Tear
and after our last goodbyes

I had the privilege of holding her tight
as she gazed at pictures of the woman she loved so much
and listen to her say her love for the last time:

Life is like a box of chocolates

Life is like a box of chocolates, just after you have been rewarded with your favourite you accidently pick an orange creme ...

I have been trying to sell off the land I bought to erect the Crystal Cave adventure I had with liz more than 6 months ago. Using the recommended strategy of starting high, I slowly decreased the price week after week until I started to get nibbles, and then one morning I found I had actually sold the major block.

I contacted the buyer, a very nice looking racoon, and thanked them for becoming my neighbour. We got to talking and through that discussion I carved off another piece of my land and sold that to the racoon.

And when I next logged on I found that the racoon had bought a third block.

What I forgot to take into account was that I had sold more land than I should have - and so the SL system removed (seemingly randomly) prims from my land and returned them to me, lisa and various friends and family.

The saddest bit was seeing portions of the house that lisa had built with such love "destroyed".

So I have had to repair some of the damage, taken out some sections which I could not erbuild, and also try to get to a "safe" level of prims.

A consequence has been that I have had to remove my skybox and my dungeon.

If I can find some "before" pictures I will post some "after pictures.

So that was the orange creme ... and caramel truffle was getting then Lindens and hopefully reducing my tier payments this month :)

Bringing my blog up to date - catching up with friends, both old and new

Catching up with my lovely roberta
She works so hard in RL, and now in SL too, that I rarely see her
But when I do, it is always a joy



And my lovely new friend
Here we are in our Spring finery - lovely frothy colourful dresses - standing outside the community hall in the SIM


And here I am admiring her latest outfit ...


And WOW!
So much nicer from *um* behind


And a lovely hugging experience too :)


Did I hear you ask "Where are Olivia's hands?" ?

hmmmmmmmm

Right where they should be

Of course !

;-)

Bringing my blog up to date - at last, some furniture

Well I have finally deployed a piece of furniture in the Family's second residence in Ozland North.
It was nice to have evie, then evie and ellie, and then just ellie to cuddle and hug that day :)





Holidays and absences by different Family members has meant that this gift to Annemarie has not been used and enjoyed as much as it should have been ...

... or maybe it is the lack of some interior decorating on my part :)
Well at least we did *um* decorate the stable attached to the house !

Anyway :) I hope that this weekend we may see most of the Family together and perhaps we can fill a few more cushions around the fire and toast some marshmallows

*yummy*

OXO for you all
