T.J. and I went to eat here. It's the #7 chinese restaurant in the united states, located in columbus, georgia, usa. It is a winner of the top 100 restaurants out of 45,000. There is a bridge you walk over with gold fish swimming beneath in a small stream, and inside the restaurant are glass walls carved with flowers and water flows between the glass walls. We were there 8/28/2022 sunday night. From my table I used my tablet to log into my grid, and let my avatar sit down and eat. hahahaha. crazy! :) Of course I could only use chopstix in real life. :O Lumiya still worky in 2022! :)

If your region uses the SmartStart feature of Dreamgrid, there is now a new setting in your region's settings page. If you enable it, your region will show as "online" even when your region is frozen. For Kitely regions this setting is automatically enabled. (If you don't use SmartStart or DreamGrid, you can safely ignore this message :)

We open in two days! Construction on the grid is happening at a fast pace. Late entries for free parcels and sponsors are welcome!

You can always tell a country girl who grew up on a farm. Look at this beautiful lush tomato plant and those delicious looking tomatoes! Oh I'll have to make spaghetti sauce and homemade ketchup and tomato soup and the list goes on! So much work to do on the farm. But I'm not selfish, nope! These tomato plants are available at our Welcome Center at Grid Our Dawn! They're free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy having them and decorating with them as much I did making them. You can find these beauties at -- grid.our-dawn.com:8002:Welcome -- come and get 'em before the birds eat 'em all! And while you're there, mosey on into the Bifrost and come check out Crystal Farm, that's my house and farm and take a relaxing stroll around. God Bless!

OpensimFest is less than two weeks away, and there's still a chance for you to be part of the fun!
Greeters organizer Snoots Dragon has a message for you
"TO EVERYONE: We are greatly in need of Greeters. This is an easy task and a great way to make new friends. We have a Greeters Guide notecard with quick-to-read information on being a Greeter. The job is easy: spend however much spare time you may have available at Central to help people if they have questions about the Festival. No schedule required; this is totally volunteer time. Please contact SNOOTS DWAGON either on Discord or by IM in-grid. Greeting is a fun and relaxing way to spend time at the Festival... and we could use your help. This is all in the promotion of science, and at the end of the Festival, there will be cake. Thanks!"

I have made a throne that you can sit on, out of prims, so it won't disappear when you walk away. I think it's sort of elven. I have also made a scroll as a region teleporter for my grid. You have to edit it yourself, but You can put your different regions on the scroll, and when guests click the name they are teleported to that region instantly, as long as it is in the same grid.

New Region now Open at Phantom Rose Grid: Akrotiri! This is the starting region for all of Phantom Rose Mer Nation. The beacon lands you underwater and by using the Mer Portal system, you will never need to be out of water while visiting the 7 other Mer areas on Phantom Rose. Each area has a unique gift. In all you can collect 3 sets of free Fins for mermaids and tritons, 2 coral reefs, and 3 rideables ( Shark, Swordfish and Dolphin)! The new Medieval area also has Seahorse Chariot racing. 6 colors.
