At 4 Greench Farm, Carie G. Peel had something to discuss with her partner Albert Blumington. They just had their 3rd kid, Gerda, actually named after Greta Greench. So, they have now a total of 3 daughters.
Albert never was a dedicated Sculptor, but he still thought of his attempts as their speciality. There are currently no other Sculptors on the island, and he even sold a sculptor to decorate the Village Hall entrance. (a clay gnome which seems to have walked away, but that's another story...)
They do have nearly §10.000 at the moment, from the time Carie's parents Greta and Gabriel lived here and helped with the garden. In addition they can get a bank loan of additional §10.000. There's still a long run for §50.000 though.
Seems like the Peel family has a new plan. But will the Maccaroni Bank approve on Carie buying the bakery?
Down at the bakery, 2 Yvonne Drive, little Eileen was bored. She is the daughter of Bridgette and Archie on the Greench farm. When she noticed that her aunt, Bella Black, left the bakery with a hotdog, Eileen got curious and decided to play detective. What was going on? She followed her aunt Bella up the road.
Aunt Bella walked on with the dish in her hand, up to the Village Hall. Eileen noticed lots of locals standing there, shouting and waving protest signs. But aunt Bella did not stop there...
On a distance, Eileen followed her aunt through the front door, and saw her walk into the meeting room with the hotdog. Why? Wouldn't it be much easier just to eat it in the café where she bought it? Or was it for some secret prisoner? Eileen had to find out!
In the room there was an old woman, also waving a sign, and shouting. It was old granny Bianca Blumington, she rarely got to this central part of the island, and Eileen hardly saw her. Aunt Bella placed the hotdog on the table.
Old Bianca was quite angry, and she had been protesting for the full day already, and outside the building several locals had joined the protest. Bella worried for her mom's health, but the old woman was too stubborn to take anyone's advice.
Then Bianca noticed Eileen was in the room.
Eileen didn't know if this was good. It sounded fun to learn about a secret, but if the secret involved her, she hesitated visiting granny Bianca alone. But I think she will!
Over at 3 Greench Farm, days go by with regular farm duties. Now that both Bridgette and Archie turned elderly, and the two oldest kids are adults, it's time to decide on who will take over the Greench Farm.
Archie knows that to secure the farm and the coming generations, it's needed to prepare early. The one taking over will need to focus on gardening, register as a farmer at the Villaga Hall, and put some efforts into building skills and knowledge. Neither of the kids have shown this interest, yet.
Archie and Bridgette don't plan to move out, and there are still 4 kids residing on the farm. Godrian and Boletta will reach adulthood in about 5 simdays and until then, there won't be much room to build a new family.
Pepper is the old horse that Archie and his late dad Gabriel Greench, once bought from Randal Redward. Bertil loves the horse, and has also paid interest in finding the Unicorn that some locals have observed on rare occasions!
A little later most of the crops were harvested, and Bertil saddled up Pepper for an evening ride.
Finally, the sun set, and locals from all over the island flocked to the Maccaroni Beach, which is located on the border between the western and southern regions. It was a warm night, no wind and it all looked to be a nice community event.
Amadeus is the Hawk boy that so many locals had debated lately. Nobody can remember ever seeing him, but Evita Hedgewall keeps referring to him.
Carie was of course whispering. She prepared food for all, she didn't mind doing this, but it was also part of the new plan, building some community goodwill, might better the chance of becoming the new owner of the café.
Rebecka Black and Graica Greench are cousins. Some days ago they made a deal to have a boyfriend before this event was over. Rebecka had already visited the much older LaShawn G. Gladiston, while Graica had no clue who to mate up with.
Evita Hedgewall doesn't quite come across as a nice girl...
Graica heard a new voice debating taxes...
The guy was Reynar Yea-Low. He is the oldest child of Dorothy and Alex Yea-Low, and now had grown up!
If he is that focused on money, would the idealistic Graica find him worthwhile?
It's not just that LaShawn is older than Rebecka, but in fact he is pushing elderhood. It annoys him that Rebecka wasn't born much earlier, because they have such a good time whenever they meet. If he can only stay adult until she grows up, then the community might accept their relation after all? For the record, they are not a couple yet, but both are aware that they might soon be...
So Rebecka and LaShawn danced. And Graica danced with Reynar, they hardly knew each other from earlier, but there was a certain buzz, wasn't there? And Cody and Rosanne danced, they feel so close after they moved together.
Cody and Rosanne were also the reason Corinne Redward chose not to attend the event. she couldn't take seeing Cody with her daughter, and she figured it was better to stay home. In fact she grew elderly tonight, sealing all hope, making everything worse.
Then, Alex Yea-Low had brought a surprise for everybody...
The event came to an end. It was a fantastic night, bringing new relations and new hopes to so many of them.
In a short week, there will be more :-)
I just wanted to say I have really enjoyed following this story. It's really developing quite nicely and fun to see how the original families are blending together. I so look forward to the next chapter every week. :) Thanks for keeping it going!
