seaside woods, grounded for life

October 2080 - Tad and Tosha Harris are 71. Talin Collins is 66, Abigail is 65. Nina Shaw-Gothier and Benjamin Gothier are 64.

Tad thinks it's nice when the younger ones move in. They're not that much younger - not even ten years, probably. But they never had kids... that's why they're still all lovey-dovey! Because first you have kids, and then your wife eats too many pork chops and loses that nice figure she used to have. You see, Abby, she keeps herself nice and trim. Very pretty lady. Never had any kids to mess up that nice figure of hers... But on the other hand, Tosha does make really good pork chops. He just wishes she would use that treadmill he bought her a little more.

And of course, you have to have kids to get great grandkids, and Tad and Tosha have five precisely - Melissa, Zachary, Sarah, Sam - and leading the pack, Lucy, who has never been in trouble her whole life like she's in trouble right now.

* note: box of tissues warning! *

Summer Phoenix and Tyler Jackson have been having very important conversations lately, but nothing has happened just yet. And nothing will happen at Tyler's house, any time soon, since Tyler's dad is some big socialite now, he works nights and is home all day, every day...
