time flies when you...

having fun or so they say anyway :) I have been so busy in RL that I have hardly had time to enjoy my SL. I jump on every day for a bit to grab my free lindens LOL but that has been about it. Hopefully I will be able to budget my time a little better and be able to play once again. Treasure Quest new hunt began last night and I won't even be able to get to it until Sunday this week...late start for me for sure! For the first time since I have been in SL I wasn't able to finish the last one either and that made me sad :( Alas carry on and see you on the grid!

Harvey's New Place

After the Pirate Dance Harvey invited me back to his new Island to check it out. Here is a broad view of the back of the house. It was late so I didn't stay a long time...need my beauty rest you know! But I did click a few pics and watched the sun rise there with him and Galfar.

The sun is just cresting the horizon here - look at all the rich colors out over the water! See the hot tub there in the left corner too! Ohh what a treat until Harvey said it was the stew! LOL

Here I am looking off the back deck and watching the sun creep higher and the Marlin swimming in the water. What a gorgeous fish!

Here Galfar and I are watching the sun coming up from Harvey's back deck - this is an awesome place! I am glad to have friends with such wonderful homes and toys where I can come to visit and play! Harvey has some water toys I will be checking out soon and I might even creep back into the stew again! he he!

I changed the time of day here to get a picture of us all standing on the back deck, great furniture set and such wonderful area surrounded by water! Can't be much better than this!
Harvey got himself a great deal! Next time I think I will leave the Pirate garb at home and come in my beachwear, ready for a swim!

Yo Ho and a bottle of RUM!

you guessed it there was indeed a Pirate Dance at EC on Saturday night! I am glad I decided to stop in and see what was going on :) I love being a pirate and treasure hunting and the most bestest thing? Why the RUM of course! I had a bottle of rum that if you click on it would give you a glass full so I was sharing with everyone although not many took it so I kept draining the bottle myself...I was being warned no driving! Good thing I was only sailing a ship! ROFL!

After dancing a long time on the center floor area I grabbed a camp pad when it opened up - figured I would earn a few bucks while I danced with my rum!

There were tons of pirates there and a good time was had by all!
yes even the mouthy parot that was there LOL! We rolled him in bread crumbs and threw him on the fire spit! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hot Air Balloon Ride!

I was off exploring with a friend and we found this marvelous Hot Air Balloon ride! It went across 4 sims and there was a whole lot to see! There were mountains and flowers and the most gorgeous eyes to stare into...oops LOL! Yes it was a cozy balloon ride but we had a blast seeing what the island was all about. It is amazing what people can turn a simple little prim into!

you can see the mountains behind us, I kept toying with the settings to see what it would look like at various times of day. For real the sun was going down and it was the most wonderful experience, floating through the air and watching the setting sun!

The end of the ride was a little rude it just sorta dumped you off and you "SpLaT" on the beach!
Lucky for us there was a nice soft rug ot land on and a few pose balls to try out too. So we settled in and watched the rest of the sun set :)

I will be going back here again - they showed a ride the orca's too and also some other things I still want to check out

Etopia

I found a new place in SL called Etopia. It is a wonderful area where being "green" is flaunted and encouraged. I haven't done a whole lot there yet but will definitely be exploring more. I did take a ride on the tour though to catch a feel for what was around. Let me tell you in one word...
BEAUTIFUL!

They also have a mad lib game on Saturdays -
I was too late yesterday but am hoping to check it out soon!

Let me know what you think if you get a chance to stop by there.

Cool Shortcut list!

Got this today and thought it would be helpful so I printed it. Thanks to the SL Blog that I read I sometimes get cool tips to help out...this new blog looks like a great resource too!

Galfar Visiting

My friend Galfar came over last weekend to visit and we sat by the fire and talked. It is a lovely place and quite relaxing . I need to get the chair script working so more people can come over and enjoy it also.

Here is a close up of Galfar - pretty good looking guy isn't he :)
He also has a great heart and is super friendly! I am blessed to have met you Galfar!

before signing off for the night he wanted to show me his new AO and he has some great stances now LOL here is his thoughtful listening pose, or at least that is what I call it.
