I finally set up my second Ikea Billy Shelf and even though it’s big I’ve only managed to bring out 1/5th of my dolls in storage. I may rotate them out sometimes but eh, it’s nice seeing a chunk of my dolls again that have been in storage for awhile.

Yesterday, I had time to visit three places. First I went to see Nur and Juju over at Poetika. They have changed it again. Nur's vision and style is pure art. I love checking out what they do on that Sintetika sim. Beautiful glow on the trees on the second floor cast a glow in the chill area. I was there for a long time listening DJ Juju Dollinger spin a nice minimal set.
Later that day, I went and stopped in to say hi to DJ Particle over at Organica. She is also known on the Second LIfe grid as Emi Halical. This cute little avie can kick ass! LOL! I hung out there with the gang and listened to her spin an awesome psy set. Woot Emi!
Later that evening, my angel and I headed for the new sim called Magic of Oz. Totally inspired by the Wizard of Oz, we walked along the yellow brick road following it to Munchkin Land, the scarecrow's wheatfield, along the river to the Emerald City and then to the scary Witches Castle.
You can shop at Magic of Oz, too. Go to the Emerald City for cool stuff. Also, these sim owners peppered the entire place with gifts. You just have to click on the magic items (not telling you what... lol). You gotta go and see this sim... and the music? OMG, Dorothy is singing "Over the Rainbow!"

Our shared narratives as Americans are preserved through the highest caliber of ongoing scholarship and advocacy. On Saturday, May 14, 2016, the Jay Heritage Center (JHC) held its second John Jay Medal Dinner and recognized two individuals whose exemplary efforts have helped elevate and strengthen the legacy of native New Yorker, John Jay.
JHC's first honoree was Prof. Joseph J. Ellis, one of our nation's leading historians and the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Founding Brothers: the Revolutionary Generation. Ellis' exhaustive and illuminating research for his newest book The Quartet: Orchestrating the Second American Revolution 1783-1789 restores John Jay to the pantheon of nation-builders alongside Washington, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. JHC's second honoree was Prof. Nicholas A. Robinson, a founder of the Pace Environmental Law School newly renamed for the tireless environmentalist and philanthropist Elisabeth Haub. Robinson, together with JHC's original founders, helped preserve and landmark the 23 acre Jay Estate on Long Island Sound in 1993. Today this touchstone in Jay's life is protected parkland and a must see destination on New York State's Path Through History.
Warm weather rewarded 125 dinner attendees including many Jay descendants and the editors of The Selected Papers of John Jay at Columbia University. An appreciative crowd enjoyed cocktails on the veranda and toured the landscape. They viewed rare manuscripts and artwork including a 1786 drawing of Spain's flag generously donated by Mrs. Paul Hughes and her family. Afterwards Prof. Ellis gave a mesmerizing talk about John Jay's peacemaking skills and his pivotal role in shaping our new nation's foreign policy with Britain, France and particularly Spain.
According to Ellis "[Jay] is the greatest diplomat of the revolutionary generation." Both honorees received standing ovations.
Samuel W. Croll III, Prof. Shelby D. Green, Charlene Laughlin and Thomas R. Mercein were Dinner Co-Chairs. Previous Jay Medal honorees were Catherine "Kitty" Aresty and Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel.

This is the second crazy quilt motif I finished for class. It's not really complete. It will have one more rose in the lower right and more stalks and leaves. Oh, and one more tiny little butterfly bead.But I'm sticking with just the one armadillo.
