Watcher’s note: This is going to be a fairly brief update, covering a lot of time and events. I realise from the wealth of brilliant and imaginative stories here that my little dynasty family are somewhat pedestrian, Rose’s blog is more like a “round robin” letter telling you all the highs and lows of each generation ; as we say here in England, it’s hatching, matching and despatching! I simply don’t have the story-telling capabilities of my most eloquent peers on this forum! Now I’m getting excitingly close to completing the challenge, after a year of failed attempts, I’m going to concentrate on playing, but grab screenshots of important moments, just in case I make it to H-O-F!!
Anyway, over to Rose to tell you just HOW CLOSE we are! Well hello folks, it's me again (Rose
) I know it's been a long time; but things have moved along apace, and I have SO much to tell you about. I trust you'll have all committed this to memory, but in case anyone has forgotten, there's a link to the family tree in the first post and here :
Spoiler - Family tree and photos So, where did we leave off; Barney's Blueboo, now long forgotten as we have been nurturing dear Cooper, our 6th generation. At last a boy after a string of girls (sorry Sookie, Emily and Daisy) but we needed more testosterone to stop Barney going off the rails! Here's our lovely boy :
And here's our even more gorgeous teenager :
And.... I know this is all pretty fast, but *someone* is in a hurry.... here he is getting engaged to the lovely Lauren :
And the customary wedding shot :
And the pregnancy :
And - I'm sorry, I won't bore you with all the inbetween bits, but here's the totally wonderful result of all those shenanigans ; our generation 7 Garland... presenting Scarlett, sitting here with me - I've snuck a photo of myself in as is customary because I was having a good hair day :
Scarlett is amazing, and now we have a house FULL to bursting. To bring you right up to date, she's now a teenager herself (yes, I know this post started with her dad as a teenager, but time flies when you're on ultra-speed) :
So, as to the rest of us, well to be honest, having them all hanging around the house all day now they have all retired (Barney, Sookie, Emily, Daisy and Lauren all being Elderly), I got them all new jobs!! Yes, there was some resistance, but it's totally heavenly having them all out all day. There was a bit of a crime wave around the neighbourhood, so they have all become Police Cadets
:
I wave them off to work each morning; and I spend the day watching the staff do the housework and cooking a few portions of my legendary youth brownie! Then when Scarlett finishes school I help her with her homework and skills. She's going to be a curator, so it's tricky keeping track of all her collectables, and then she's thinking of becoming a villain.... hmmm, not likely with all the police around here!
When they get home, they're all so exhausted bless them; perhaps they won't notice what she's up to!
Bye for now dear readers, until next time!
