Sims Life Musings

After a couple of attempts with the LJ cut, I finally managed to post the out-takes for Chapter 3 on my Live Journal blog. Here’s the link:

Chapter 4 will hopefully be posted in early October - I’m getting a memory upgrade before Bon Voyage is released, and I’ll be away for a week, so I’ll be having a break for a week or so.

Better get the family trees updated! 

Life had been very quiet in the Gardener household since Jack had grown into a hardworking and well liked young man. With three sets of wages the family’s fortune was also improving, although it was still very modest compared to their neighbours’. Financial security had become very important to Jack, as he’d recently married a young nurse by the name of Brooke Wade and their first child was due within the next few months. It was his mother, Molly, who broke the news to him one hot summer morning, and the small cottage was a hive of activity as preparations were made for the new arrival.

Jack and Brooke’s first meeting was a blind date of sorts, but they formed an instant and unshakeable bond that strengthened every day they were together. Luckily for Jack his parents were very fond of Brooke, who was his first serious girlfriend, and they were thrilled when the young couple announced that they intended to marry. Their quiet but romantic wedding ceremony was followed by four days alone at the cottage, Bill and Molly having arranged to spend the time visiting Molly’s elderly aunt in the north of the kingdom.
