Let’s Party!

October 31, 2007

 Riversleigh has livened up so much these days, with the House reopened and all. There are new faces, too – either returning ones that we newer folks haven’t properly met, or brand new people settling in. This seems like a perfect excuse for a party, doesn’t it?

So how about we all meet out in the gardens late this afternoon or tonight and even into tomorrow and have a lovely little get together. We can each bring a dish we like and a beverage of the sort we prefer. Bring a book you like, too, by an author you like, and any friends that happen to stop by or pets you live with (I promise the slime puppy is housebroken now – several cases of paper towels later). Oh – and one CD of music that you enjoy! We’ll play them all!  

If someone will help me hang the paper lanterns and haul out some buckets of ice and glasses, we’ll get this party started!

 By the way, I’m She Wolf, and I usually write short stories, particularly fantasy. I’m going to bring a nice, inexpensive merlot with me, and some sour cream pound cake that will melt in your mouth. My book is the one I’m reading, and I want to share it – a new one by Mercedes Lackey. I’ll bring a mix of ballads from the 70’s and 80’s for my music. Oh – and I will have the slime puppy with me. He’s really very sweet. His algae treats are over near the pool, if you want to feed him any.

So come on out, everyone, and let’s have fun!

I’m trying to get a picture uploaded so that I know what to do when Priscilla arrives, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Nearly living on the ark by now…

October 28, 2007

Brave woman my sister. She lives in a house which last year, during a spectacular storm had the roof blow off. So she, hubby, and their six children, two cats, two dogs, two parrots and an assortment of smaller pets moved twice in the last year. Now back in their happy home, it wasn’t nearly madness enough but the younger of the two cats brought four sweet little kittens into the world and my sister’s house. So endearing are these little marvels that my son-in-law cannot bear to part with them.

Well the more the merrier!

Priscilla’s Room at Riversleigh

October 25, 2007

Priscilla now has her own room here at Riversleigh (see the room listings on the House Noticeboard page) that links to her blog.  She’s been working very hard lately in her visual journal and would like to show you her work at Soul Tour.  Bring your umbrella!

Priscilla’s Further Island Adventures

October 20, 2007

I finally convinced Priscilla to slow down a bit, to experience a more laid-back, southern, island approach to life.  She slowed down long enough to write this post, and to allow me to write one about her at She Brings Me Water.
