From Nydia Tungsten on August 6, "Thank you to DJ Snowy, Captain Mato, JB, Eva and Gina for joining me in the fun in this one. I know it's been a while since our last Video. but know I am working on it. What has been keeping me busy you ask? well, I have been writing, 'Switched Destinies' feel free to check it out!"

Mouse Hole Manor Is Back

In February, Mouse Hole Manor, the home of Nydia Tungsten and her partner Brandi Streusel,was taken down. In place of the castle, which had been up for some years, went a more modern home that was up for a few months until it came down when Nydia and Cynthia Farshore exchanged sims. In Pacific Waters, Nydia had a smaller home on an island for a time. But this week, she and Brandi made the decision to bring back the Manor.

"Well, we have been talking about it," Nydia told the Newser, "We kept having problems with the other ones. Now we are finding out a lot of others missed it as well, and the phrase 'Local Icon' kept kicking around in the back of my head. But most of all, we feel, this is home."

Nydia is still setting things up, so anyone dropping by in the next few days will see some bare rooms. While nothing is set in stone, except perhaps for the castle walls, there will be some differences between Mouse Hole Manor now and from it's previous days. It's days as a place for business and planning meetings for the Angels group are pretty much over as those are done in the nearby office building in the southeastern part of Pacific Waters. The theater had been removed to make the "Float-In Theater" to the east. What there will be more of are games for Nydia, Brandi, and her friends, such as "Greedy." The island the Manor sits on has more trees on it, thinly wooded. Nydia says the place will be likely be the setting for special event such as weddings in the future. For now though, Nydia is happy to have her castle back, "Feels like home."

A Double Sim Move in the Sunweaver Estates

Changes are coming to the Newser's neighborhood, the Sunweaver Estates. Two major landowners, Cynthia Farshore and Nydia Tungsten, will be swapping sims and moving their structures of Farshore Field Airport and Mouse Hole Manor. I had a few words with both Cynthia and Nydia about the move. While moving the properties is a lot of work, there are reasons for it. Plus, the moving and reconstruction allows for some new possibilities.

Mouse Hole Manor to Come Down

For a few years in the Sunweaver and Angel Estates, Nydia Tungsten and Brandi Streusel's castle home, Mouse Hole Manor in Sunlight Bay, has been one of the most highly recognized structures in the community. The place has served as the setting of weddings, music videos, group meetings, and a hangout for those of her Angels group. But the castle will soon be gone. Nydia told her group that the structure would soon be coming down.

For those whom want to see the castle before it fades away, Nydia's stated anyone who might have left something at the castle has a few more days to claim it. After than, Mouse Hole Manor comes down, and a new more modern structure takes it's place.

Wedding Bells at the Sunweavers

On Wednesday December 17 at the Sunweaver Estates, instead of the usual mid-week bash at Club Cutlass, the community held a wedding that evening. Mark Leewind, known as the local firefighter, partnered with his sweetheart Nana Pelazzi. The ceremony was held at Mouse Hole Manor in Sunlight Bay.

In place of our usual event, we have something special tonight. It's the wedding of Mark Leewind and Nana Pelazzi. Dress up for a wedding and come help celebrate their happy event. Reception follows the ceremony. Remember... That's 5:30 PM.

The event was a little late, but that allowed more of the locals to drop by. Becky "Sha" Shamen was the one whom conducted the ceremony. Rita Mariner was the Maid of Honor, and Skylark LeFavre served as a bridesmaid.

Becky is a longtime friend of Mark, whom she wrote about in September 2013. 

Congratulations to the newlyweds.

A Guardian for Nydia's Angels

There's been a new build in the Sunweaver Estates, the neighborhood where the Newser office makes it's home. Those dropping by Mouse Hole Manor in the past few days found something new, a huge guardian angel vixen statue just behind the main door. Alleara Snoodle made it for Nydia, whom wanted something to symbolize how her "Angels" group feel about protecting one another. Nydia created the group for both friends of hers, and Second Life residents she came across whom were in need one one.
