Well, thank you Rosebud! You've just made my day! You're also in luck, because I'm posting another update. Hope you enjoy!
And Sadie - I promise I didn't steal one of your ideas, lol. The same thing happened in my game with the maid.
Chapter 19
These cats! They crack me up. Chips dreams of lobster.
Aubrey heads off to college. I can't believe it's already time for him to leave.
Mean spirited Arynn is at it again.
She punches her dad hard while playing.
Looks like Drake is not immune to being scared out of bed by the ghosts. Jess gets him good.
Then she turns around and gets Dad, as well. She's really in a mood tonight.
Drake made a mess out of a puddle in the bathroom. The maid was trying to clean it up, but you could tell he was annoyed.
I dismissed him for the day, and told Drake to clean it up. He wasn't real thrilled with the idea, but he's not going to go around wrecking the house and letting the maid deal with it.
That's a good boy, Drake.
The time has finally come. Both my parents had been sipping elixir for awhile now, but have finally decided to let nature take it's course. They have lived happy lives, but unfortunately, Mom only lived to be 70. But the elixir gave her many more days than that.
Goodbye, Mom. Rest in peace.
Poor Dad. He needs some extra support at this time.
Ha ha, there's where I earned my slouch.
I caught Drake making another mess in the kitchen.
He complains a lot when you tell him to pick up after himself, but he does it.
Cute shot of Joseph dancing with Drake.
Wisp: This catfood sucks. I want pizza.
Today is my birthday! I'm going to be an old lady. Holy crap look at all those candles!
Well, come on everyone, before this cake burns down the whole house and ends the Legacy.
Well now. That's not so bad. I seem to have aged pretty well.
Joseph is the exact same age as me, so he celebrated his birthday on the same day.
Joseph: I wish for lots of woohoo.
Um, yeah. He's going to need a makeover. Red eyebrows and gray hair are not a good combination. And that orange shirt is hideous.
I forgot to take a post makeover shot of my hubby, but you can see him behind me in this picture. It's weird with the three of us being elders, but I'm happy my Dad is still around. I know his time is starting to grow short, so I'm really treasuring the time I have left with him.
Joseph: So if you become heir, you won't marry a sumo wrestler, will you?
Arynn: What? What are you talking about?
Joseph: The house is pretty big, but someone that large would get in the way. We just want to be sure you'll choose a normal sized man for your mate.
Me: That's so funny, dear.
Arynn: How embarassing! My parents are complete idiots! A sumo wrestler!? As if!
I just love that swagger. And Joseph looks every bit as sexy now as he did in our adult years.
We're just so in love.
Ooh, he still gets my old ticker thumping!
Joseph: Congrats on turning into a fine old lady!
There must be something about this family - we all seem to find our gaseous emissions funny.
And Dad is no exception.
The Grim Reaper eventually came for Dad. He had no regrets. He lived to be 79, plus some extra because of the elixir.
Goodbye, Dad. You'll be missed.
Arynn: Congrats on learning how to walk, Mom.
Me: What?
Aha! This time I caught Chips in the act. Eventually we will teach this cat not to rip things up.
Chips isn't the only one getting busted. Arynn was brought home by the cops. That loser Dorian, no less. I wasn't sure who I was more irritated with.
Arynn felt pretty bad. She cried. I was actually happy to see that. Maybe she has a heart in there after all.
Arynn: I'm so sorry I got caught sneaking out!
Joseph really gave her a piece of his mind. He chewed her out for nearly an hour.
Chips and Wisp do not get along. At all. They fight constantly.
Here they are during one of their many skirmishes.
I guess we've been kind of lucky and had many peaceful years with the cats all getting along. But like all good things, it came to an end.
Chips won this round.
Ordinarily, I would get upset about the maid hugging on the cat instead of doing his job. But poor Thing 2. Ever since she turned into an elder, she hasn't been socializing with the other cats that much, so she's been kind of lonely. She needs lots of hugs, and if she feels she needs one from the maid, then that's fine.
Arynn: I said I was sorry for getting caught, but I'm not sorry for sneaking out. Man, that was fun!
