Life at Between Homes is good!

Life at Between Homes is good and getting better! In the few months since the genesis of BH we have grown by leaps and bounds. What began as a tiny, 1024 sqm space with six small apartments and a small recreation area has now expanded to over 10,350 sqm. of land, spread over one main area and four annexes. That is a 10x growth factor in just a few, short months. The dedicated and hard working members of the Board of Directors have made this incredible growth possible. Gracias a todos!

The original apartment building has been replaced by a beautiful apartment complex with 15 roomy, airy apartments. Each apartment has a roomy living room, a terrace and a bedroom. There are large windows all around for a great view of the entire grounds. The apartments are available either furnished or unfurnished. Best of all, they are Gratis!



The grounds themselves have been beautifully landscaped by Yucca Gemini. There are lush trees, plants and flowers. There are two main picnic areas for residents to choose from. One area has logs arranged in a circle around a cozy, warm fire. Residents can sit on the logs and enjoy a nice, warm chat. The other picnic area has cozy blankets to just lay down on and perhaps read a good book.

To the North there is a large pond fed by a waterfall. Residents can sun themselves on the pond's shores or they can go out on the water and float on the inner tube and air mattress. Either way, it is a relaxing experience. We may eventually stock the pond with pretty, colored fish. And if it gets cold enough and the pond freezes, we can even go ice skating!



On the West end of the main grounds, there is a dance floor, complete with dance pose balls. For those who prefer to sit down and chat (or simply rest after a long tango dance) there are couches to sit down, chat and cuddle with your SL honey! If you are thirsty, we have a fully stocked bar offering all kinds of refreshing beverages. We will soon install a Replicator dispenser, to dispense snacks, drinks and assorted other free goodies.



Walk over to the East end of the main grounds and you will receive a big surprise (or a big shock, depending on your frame of mind). At the East end there is a Halloween Carousel complete with spooky floating pumpkins. Sit inside one of the large pumpkins and carve yourself one spooky ride!!!



Three of the BH'S four Annexes are landscaped with orange trees (I am from California and I love orange trees) and have blankets for laying down and relaxing. The fourth Annex has a Japanese house designed and built by Yucca Gemini. BH Director Deneby Strauss lives in that house.

Between Homes is your place to come, relax and have a good time. This is your home, you can all make it as nice as you want it to be. BH’s Officers Gloeing Ember, Yucca Gemini, Deneby Strauss and ARCABULLE Odriscoll have worked long and hard to make BH what it is today. All of you can help to make it an even better place.

Enjoy it, be safe and have a wonderful time.
