idle chatter: cool finds 'n stuff

I'm having to push back the second half of Jodie's story (part 2), mostly because my kid got sick this weekend and the past two days have dissolved into a pile of snotty tissues and vomit (oh hey, I know you're all super jealous of my life, lol!). And then I have some other things to finish the next couple days. I'll try not to make you wait all the way until next weekend, but it'll be Wednesday or Thursday before I can give it any proper attention.

But I do have a surprise mini-thing for you later tonight, from Amelia.

the great 2083 playdate

September 2083 - toddler playdate picspam!

This update is inspired by Emily Miller and Aaron Phoenix. You barely ever get to see them because of their parents' absolute lack of drama, so I figured they deserved a little picspam because they're just so CUTE!

If I were the kind of player that set up kids from the moment they're born, these two would SO be married already, lol!

2082, we don't need no education

Whoa! Who the heck are all these kids??? Let's see who all is growing up this year.

happy birthday to you...

November 2081 - Welcome to Lakeside Heights: Aaron, Emily, Hunter, Flint, and Delilah!

Jack and Nessa Phoenix had a very romantic final date last month, while they waited for their son to make his much awaited appearance. And it's a good thing, because romance is going to be the last thing on their minds for a while!

happy birthday to you...

the Watts family farm

October 2077, Matthew Watts is 26, Leila is 21.

Matthew Watts inherited his family's farm when his parents died in a tragic boating accident on Twikki Island when he was only nineteen years old. It wasn't long after that he met Leila, who was still in high school at the time, and their quick marriage caused quite the controversy in her family.
