The Rivalaris Round 3

Libby: My Grandpa Andy is crazy. He was a wonderful man that took care of his family. Uncle John and Dad might have not gotten along well but that wasn't Grandpa's fault. Grandpa was best friends with Allyn and he decided he wanted someone to spend the end of his days with. Allyn wanted family, so he went ahead and granted her wish even though he knew he might not be around to raise their family together. He was soo happy when she got pregnant with Andrew and even more happy to see the birth of his 3rd son. He gardened til the end of his days, he did in fact die out there near his garden. It was a sad day for all of us, but most especially for Allyn.
Unfortunately I wasn't there. I had already left for college. Grandpa said he was very proud of me before I left. I"m going to miss him soo very much. I hope it doesn't effect my studies at university but only time will tell if I can handle my grief and my studies. He was such a big part of my life.
Allyn is a nice lady. She was soo happy with Grandpa even though she didn't like his dirty jokes much. After Andrew was born her and Grandpa decided to try for another baby. I'm not sure it was the smartest thing for them to do. Grandpa was already very old, but Allyn was determined that she wanted another baby by him. It's been really rough for her since he died. Dad says she's always tired, and has passed out numerous times. He really is worried about her. Pregnancy wasn't exactly easy the first go round for her, and with her heart being broken cuz of the loss of Grandpa...well..Dad's really worried bout her.
Course...I think the reason he's soo worried bout her is he really REALLY has the hots for her. I heard him tell a friend of his that if Grandpa hadn't snatched her up he would have. He tries to help her out as much as he can while advancing his career. I don't think Allyn could have survived after Grandpa died without Dad. Dad also got to meet Uncle John's wife this week. Dad seemed kinda down that Uncle John and Grandpa both had someone to make them happy and cuddle with. Who knows what the future will bring.

My lovely wife Ginger says my singing that song makes me sound like a lush, course I catch her singing it in the shower to sooo...Anyways...it was a fun week for us. I finally earned my gold gardening badge.. I'm soo happy. I been telling my plants dirty jokes and they are doing quite well. I also have been doing well at work. I impressed the boss and I got a promotion to Vice President.

Ginger spent most of the week with our son, Tyler, and making sure he got a great start on life. We did have a few dates though that were just dreamy.. Ginger also managed to snag a promotion at work to Horoscope Writer.
And then there's Tyler...He's growing quite well but he's a bit of an awkward child. I can remember being an awkward child myself. He'll eventually grow into himself though. I can't imagine my beautiful 3LB wife and I having anything but a most handsome son.

The Stiff/Lawson House Round 3

Seth Lawson: What do you want? Go away...hrmph..what? I said go away..::grumbles:: Not going huh? Fine...You promise you'll leave me alone after I tell you bout this week? It was a miserable week. We got stuff done but I lost my beloved. We had the headmaster over to get my daughter Mandie into private school. We almost had disaster strike when a fire broke out but luckily she still got in. I knew my beloved was getting on in years and I wanted to cherish every moment we had. We went on several dates, and made plenty of woohoo. I just wish I had met my beloved Andrea when she was younger so she could have borne me sons.

Mandie learned everything she needed to as a toddler to become a brilliant child. She's getting great grades. She misses her mother horribly though. We threw her a birthday party before Andrea passed on and it went fabulous. I invited all my friends...Andrea was grumbly though because she wanted to throw the party and I beat her to it. If I had realised it was her wish I would have let her throw it. Daniel has been helping Mandie with her homework. I tried to but it's just soo dull. We adopted a beautiful lil puppy named Emily for Mandie.

Daniel was heartbroken when his mother passed on. He's starting to move on after the loss of his first wife. He met this girl named Chris while he was out on the town one night. He asked her to marry him and they had a quiet lil marriage. Daniel said it wouldn't be right to have a big to-do given his mother had died so very recently. Chris is a nice enough girl I guess. She's already pregnant with Daniel's child. I must admit to some jealousy because of this. Daniel has also been doing well in his job and secured promotion to Personal Injury Attorney.
My dear beloved Andrea...Life is soo hard without her. She was my sun, moon, and stars. She lived well and died well.

The Radcliffs Round 3

Pictures: If you would like to see the details more just click on each picture and it will open it bigger. I'm Still getting the hang of pictures.

Seth: Well hello...Jessica was telling me bout you before she left for school... It's been a sad interesting week. James actually managed to find some happiness in his last days. He fell in love with Sandy Bruty and James and woohoo'd them both. He managed to get away with it though. Neither ever realized he'd cheated on them. He died shortly after getting home from work early in the week. Jessica complained because she didn't like James and he almost ruined one of her dates. (Player's Note: Look at the photo in the collage on the bottom in the middle. Interesting pause. Looked like the Hula dancers were giving James a proper Romance Sim welcome to the afterlife with a free look up their skirts) Sandy keeps calling for James and I don't have the heart to tell her he's died. My father Jonathon was soo happy towards the end of his life. He fell in love with Vyn Lind and asked her to marry him, alas he died before they could get married. Vyn keeps calling for Dad just like Sandy's been calling. I don't have the heart to tell her he passed away either. I know I"m a chicken. Jessica had an interesting week after her steady David Rivalaria went to college. He made her promise to not wait for him, and to experiment while she was in high school. He said if they were meant to be together they would reconnect when she got to college. I think he did it because he wanted to experience the girls at College without feeling guilty about cheating on Jessica. Jessica made several new friends. She dated Ricky but felt he was not a good match, not sure if James dying during the middle of the date had anything to do with it. Then she met Randy London. They ended up going steady before she left for college. I'm not sure if she'll dump him when she mets up with David, stay with Randy, or dump them both for someone new. Only time will tell. I think James might have been a bad influence, but she just said she's looking for the person who will give her the most financial security when she's older. She tells me at the end of the day it's all about the bottom line $$$ I tried to spend time with James and Jonathon before they passed on but I also tried to advance my career and meet someone to spend my days with. I met a great girl, but our dates always end up less than perfect. I re-decorated the house and moved James and Jonathon's graves because I kept tripping over them after work, I tried to make it beautiful by planting a tree in the backyard and putting them in it's shade, but apparently ..Jonathon's shade wasn't too thrilled. He kept ruining my date. I don't know if I'll ever find love. Maybe I should just adopted. I want a son to carry on my name so badly. I know Dad wanted me to have one also. He adored Jessica but..ya know? What man doesn't want a son to carry no his name? Anyways.. Here's a shot of the house after the week was done, and the new remodels. Hope ya like it!
