Summer is a time for BBQ's.  It brings friends, families and communities together.  Pre-Covid our community used to have summer BBQ's in the little park.  It was a great way for the community to come together.  I do miss those summer BBQ's and they hope to bring them back this year.  

However,  we won't be here.  We are moving.  We will no longer live remote, no longer have to deal with tourist and no longer have to struggle.  We have lived here for five and half years.  I have lived remote for almost seven and a half years.  While things will be different I feel it is time for this move.  The kids need more than rock throwing and trees.  We need structured activities, better child care and more school assistance. 

My blog will slow down a bit in June as we move across a few states to our new home, in our new house.   For now we will feast our eyes on Second Life food.  I love this BBQ pit table from Finca.  I love all the food that it stores in it.  Below you will find the lobster, burgers and smores photos.

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE

Hello Beautiful World!

It is often that I discover beautiful places during my explorations in Second Life, but it is rarely,

very rarely that these beautiful places will awe me to the point of actually wanting to join their groups.

This time, this place was one of those awe exceptions.

Welcome!

This is

 The Last Aokigahara Souls

(Moderate)

Description:

Welcome to a place full of Japanese nature and spirit. Relax and refresh yourself with good tea.

We wish you a pleasant experience.

I visited this beautiful sim for the very first time this past Tuesday which is the day I took

these pictures. Since that day, I have returned on several occasions and each time I do, I get the

same emotion that I did on my first visit, the thrilling emotion of discovering something so beautiful

that can almost bring tears to my eyes. Yes, I am a very emotional being, what can I say.

The beauty in people, moments, animals, and places, even if these places are only part of a fantasy

world, can still reach that very deep part of my heart and stir my "happy" emotions within my whole being.

Now, this sim is just too beautiful to just show you two or three pictures of the land. That is why

I made sure I took many, many pictures during my visit to share with you, and as always, I end

up putting together a very long blog post that requires an intermission to give you a chance to

get up and stretch your legs, use the restroom, and grab a drink before continuing. :P

CONTINUES ON READ MORE

But seriously now, in this beautiful land, I found everything I love, peace, solitude, the sound of nature,

Tai Chi, meditation, cuddles, dancing, etc., did I mention peace already? Ah, yes!

Not only that but by joining the group, you are given rezzing rights which is a huge plus for

photography lovers.

As I mentioned before, at every step of the way, I discovered beauty. I felt peace. 

I had nice encounters...

So the pictures have begun to get smaller. This is where I realize there are just too many

but I can't bear to leave any out. So I find myself desperately trying to squeeze them all into 

what I want to appear like a simple, short blog post, but who are we kidding? 

Keep them coming that we are almost done... maybe. :P

FOR MY STEPPENWOLF ❤

"P.S. baby, miss you tons!"

Hello Beautiful World!

Once again my Steppenwolf is away and I am missing him like crazy.

He is going to spend time with his two brothers that need him and I am so proud

of him for the amazing loving man that he is. He cares for us all so lovingly and patiently.

God bless his heart. ❤

Now, let me share with you something that happened the day Tina Turner passed away

and I was working on putting together a blog post for her, "R.I.P. Queen Of Rock "N' Roll Tina Turner".

That day and before starting with the post, I wanted to get the best picture I could find of her to use in

my article. I went to one of her official websites and there I found one that right away captured my eye.

After cropping it and downloading it I decided I wanted a few more to use at the end of

the article. While scrolling and looking at her pictures I wondered which of them might have been

one of her favorites? Sure she must have had one or more that meant something to her.

I spend some time going through the pictures and taking the time to crop and download the ones I liked.

Once I was done and ready to add the pictures to my blog post, I spotted one picture that I had not

selected. It was together with the other pictures I had chosen to use and I didn't even remember seeing

that particular picture in my search. And honestly, I wouldn't have even selected it because it was

nothing to what I had in mind. Still, I decided to add it to the post because I felt there might have been a

reason it had mysteriously appeared with the ones I had selected.

Maybe, just maybe it was Mrs. Tina Turner answering my question and that picture

meant something to her and was one of her favorites. ;)

This is the picture  What do you think?

Time for my vitamin ZZZzzZZZzz my beautiful people.

May you dream of amazing adventures and may the thrill of those adventures carry on

after a sweet awakening.

Much love,

- Lori Novo

SONG OF THE DAY

Hello Beautiful World!

Today's song comes from one of my favorite GTA (Grand Theft Auto) players.

I tried recreating her look in the video but in my own version.

Enjoy!

You can find Muffy Marshall at GTA, IgniteRP server on Twitch where she plays a

police dispatcher. Her character is funny and friendly, unlike other GTA players that are very toxic.

"Forbidden Love" is her latest release but you can also listen to her previous songs on her

D4N1ELLE Spotify channel, Youtube, or Soundcloud.

Her beautiful songs were recorded to be used in the GTA game after Twitch announced that

streamers were no longer allowed to use any music/songs content protected by copyrights in their

broadcasts. This new update forced broadcasters/ players to create their own music

to use in-game. The result was absolutely phenomenal. Many, hidden talents surfaced in big waves.

This comes to show that sometimes when bad things happen it makes way for new and better things.

You can check out Muffy's Twitter & Instagram to learn more about this great GTA streamer.

Over & out my beautiful!

Much love,

-Lori Novo

Tonight we went dancing to an old favorite.

Today's song of the day is dedicated to my son.

This is his favorite song from The Cranberries, Dreams.

Hello Beautiful World!

This morning, I had a sweet awakening when my Pollito (my cat) jumped on my bed while I was

still asleep and having sweet dreams. I opened my eyes and there he was, in all his furry splendor

looking at me while he knitted the blanket at my feet. I smiled a BIG smile and I shouted,

"GOOD MORNING MY BEAUTIFUL POLLITO!". He just purred and continued to knit

the blanket. My son came running soon after to see what was happening and carry Pollito out of my

room to let me continue sleeping. But heck, who are we kidding, that was one of the sweetest ways to

wake up and through the window's curtains, I could see it was going to be a beautiful day. 

I jumped out of bed and opened my curtains to welcome the new day into my home.

Things like this fill me with joy, you have no idea.

May your day be as beautiful as mine.

Much love,

-Lori Novo

Tonight

we danced.

~ Daniel Santacruz ~

My Steppenwolf has been going through tough times these past months.

His joys are my joys and his sadness is mine as well.

Tonight I wanted to help him forget his troubles at least for a while.

Dancing is just one of the best ways to do that.

Te amo mi amor!
