I decided to go back to the abandoned station to look for signs of life.

I found some...but are these people I want to know? There was something....not quite right...

New Item at the mall which you can find in the Kitchen & Dining department. The Spindle Shelf Fireplace comes with sound and working doors for storage. I've also added a few new things to the Building Supplies department and we're increasing our Holidays & Season's "Spring" section though I guess it's time to start on the fall and winter! Stop by and check things out as I'm adding new stuff just about every week. Blessings and much love, Lavia

come to Greedy Fun and pick up the brand-new Goren Greedy table. Masters its for your subs to play with and just think of the fun you can have with them while they are on the crosses hg.trianon-world.com:18002:Greedy Fun

Okay I think things are finally, at last, for the time being, hopefully rearranged to be more easily accessible for everyone at the Create A Scene Garden Center and in fact the entirety of the Masala Al Kohav Mall. There is so much going on here that at times it's a little hard to keep up with, but it's all good goings on!! Stop in and shop all day if you like. Visit all of our in house creator's shops like Ezra's Antiques and Collectables, Thor's Forge, Fall's For You (Animesh People) and my own "Lavia's Little Corner". We have a very wide assortment of items ranging from houses to plants and everything in between. We're working on building new stuff as well so that you have original content as well as items from around Open Sim. And don't forget to ask about our "Showcase Plateau" which allows folks to advertise their grid, region, or shop not just for a week or a month, but year round for free with an allowance of 1500 prims. Word of mouth is always the best advertising you can get and we're here to help you get seen and heard. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

A Virtual Beach Update

Hey everyone, so far everything is going smooth and looks good.

I will be going on a last minute camping music festival trip, I will be gone Wednesday evening to Sunday evening.

If there are any grid issues please send me a message or email but please keep in mind my internet will be limited. I will have best luck in the morning for internet.

Once I get back I will start planning the grand opening for the new welcome region

Who is the band in the new show truck?

Needful Things has been enriched by a small attraction: every visitor can start the small show themselves by clicking on the writing on the floor (sounds must be activated in the viewer!).
For all those who get carried away by the little concert, there is a free HUD with audience animations to take away in the boxes in front of the truck....

Wer ist die Band im neuen Show Truck?

Needful Things ist um eine kleine Attraktion reicher: jeder Besucher kann die kleine Show durch Anklicken der Schrift am Boden selbst starten (Klänge müssen im Viewer aktiviert sein!).
Für alle, die sich von dem kleinen Konzert mitreißen lassen, gibt es einen HUD mit Publikumsanimationen kostenlos zum Mitnehmen in den Kartons vor dem Truck....

In my desert journey, I came upon an abandoned petrol station in a ghost town. I didn't dare seek shelter there, but slept across the road on the warm ground. I gave it the light of day, but does it look better? I still feel unease...

Once dwelt in that annihilated place"

One night, I dreamt I stood at the river's edge in a canyon gorge. Terraced along the cliffs were abundant cherry trees, their branches cascading down towards the water. This place is the embodiment of that dream. We observe Hanami here. @FredBeckhusen/Ferd Frederix has added his magic touch throughout this region, thank you Ferd! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

It is full summertime at Novale until Fall's equinoxe!
Did you ever visit Novale during the rest of the year?
Suggestion : Visit the Chalet au Fil du temps (destination 25 boys menu)
The diaporama inside the chalet will give you a taste of the other seasons.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night...

Our Dinkie

In the heart of our home, there’s a special place,
Where Dinkie roams with boundless grace.
With eyes so bright and spirit free,
A bundle of joy for all to see.

Through fields of green and skies so blue,
Dinkie dances, a dream come true.
With every wag and playful bark,
Our days are lit, no longer dark.

In moments quiet, by our side,
Dinkie’s love is our true guide.
A loyal friend, so pure and kind,
In Dinkie, comfort we always find.

So here’s to Dinkie, our dear heart,
A cherished soul, a work of art.
With love and laughter, life anew,
Our world is brighter with Dinkie too.
