Happy Birthday America


A Couple days ago we had an English language educational post, and today brings us to an American History lesson.

The establishment of the Roanoke Colony was an attempt by Sir Walter Raleigh to found the first permanent English settlement in North America. The colony was first founded in 1585, but after only five years, when a ship visited the colony in 1590, the colonists had disappeared without explanation. The colony has since been known as the Lost Colony, and the fate of the 112 to 121 colonists remains unknown to this day.

In 1607, 104 English men and boys arrived in North America to start a settlement. On May 13 they picked Jamestown, Virginia for their settlement, which was named after their King, James I. The settlement became the first permanent English settlement in North America.

The American Revolutionary War began April 19, 1775, 168 years after the first successful colonization in Jamestown.

Using the above timeline, this year marks 438 years since the first settlement on Roanoke, 416 years since the successful colonization of Jamestown, 248th year since the start of the Revolutionary War and 240 years since the war ended.

Fathers Day Weekend


Father’s Day is celebrated annually on the third Sunday in June in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, and a number of other countries around the world.

While on Mother’s Day mom gets pampered and gets to have a ‘day off’, in our family when we were growing up Father’s Day was a cookout day, in which the Dad’s were in charge of doing the cooking, since the grill was involved.

Today’s post is dedicated to our one and only Troy, who not only is the most amazing Husband, but the most spectacular Da to 7 two legged children and 3 furbabies, not counting his 4 RL furbabies as well.

Happy Father’s Day !

Love,

Mina, Eoin, Aryn, Pax, Elijah, Ollie, Zander, Shelby, Artie and Cass

Plus Doris, Reuben, Shana and Arthur

Dr Who Saves Jesus


As we have mentioned previously, we are currently binging Dr Who with our most amazing Troy. We are just reaching the end of David Tenant’s reign as the Tenth Doctor, and about to begin the reign of Matt Smith as the Eleventh. We have seen the Doctor save a great many people throughout history and in the future so far, not always successfully, but attempts were made.

This whole series has got us thinking, ya know, it is totally possible that the Doctor showed up inside that tomb in Golgotha and whisked Jesus away in the Tardis, leaving everyone to believe he had risen. Think about that for a minute, interesting idea huh?

Pizza & Groceries


We all know what it is like on grocery day. There is no way you want to go do a big grocery shop, bring it home, unpack it, and then still actually cook some of it all in the same day. This is why most people tend to pick up or delivery pizza, chinese or some other take away food. Around here it usually depends on which store we went shopping at, since all of our grocery stores are a 30+ minute drive one way, the food options vary depending on direction.

Happy New Year ! Welcome 2023, let’s hope that you behave better than 2022 did. As anyone with children know, trying to plan party food for an event requires a buffet type mix. Luckily in Second Life it is easy enough to do with the wide variety of offerings, I chose not to make a total mess of my new DICTATORSHOP kitchen and ordered take away Pizza and Chinese from Junk Food, I even got some yummy chocolates to finish it off.
