@ciane Your soup sounds wild! @ADWilson My soup was butternut squash (butternut squash, carrots, onions, celery and pine kernels). It's cooling waiting to freeze befoer we go to bed. I do like tomato and basil though...
I LOVE butternut squash soup!
Yours sounds absolutely delicious!!
Another enjoyable chapter @SamelaRita
Well worth the wait!
Like ciane, I laughed when I read about the gnome's gift. Patches is starting to be worth his weight in many ways.
My favorite (from the beginning) is seeing the story unfold through the eyes of the house. Beautifully done and wonderfully paced.
I finished the Cooper reno. I should get pics up tomorrow.
Yay!
My simming time over the weekend was exactly 0 hours, 0 minutes,0 seconds. But the windowsill is varnished, I made cherry jam and a dress for a doll for a friend's daughter and I'm starting painting the cupboards today. So I don't feel like I got nothing done - I just feel like I'm under-simmed! Not sure which emoticon to use for that - I think I need one that suggests slight twitchiness.
Looking forward to reading your chapters @ciane and seeing what happened to the Coopers.
I agree with ciane, you're quite whirlwind @SamelaRita in both time and talents! The amount of things you accomplish while someone like me would plod along is impressive.
Okay, I've gone through all my pics and posted all the chapters. You got five new posts I think. Just pick up at the bottom where you left off or start from the beginning again.
@ciane That was a really nice story, and like Addy, I liked the way the fences were mended between the brother and sister - and how the cousins interacted. Lovely renovation again!
My cherry jam , when I came to label it, turned out to be cherry sauce - first time I've ever done it, and I thought I had a set, but I didn't Should be nice poured over ice cream or for cooking duck in, maybe... And I'd written the labels before I found that out. People are going to get presents that say Cherry Jam Sauce, August 2019 at Christmas Should raise a laugh or two - my friends know me quite well.
The cherry jam might be an oops! moment but it makes for a cute story to share with family and friends.
I'm sure it will taste great over ice cream or when cooking duck like you said, but I also thought it would be nice drizzled over certain cakes or bread. Enjoy!

From personal experience, jam sauces make lovely glazes for cakes & savory dishes. They also make excellent sugar and (partial) liquid substitutes in cakes, cookies, and muffins.
I finally decided how to play Lilah Cobb in my game. IP has an unchartered island that has a 64x64 lot. Your sim just needs to boat close to it to discover it.
Unfortunately the lot wouldn't place there. I placed it on an empty lot in IP that was pretty secluded and thought maybe I could go with the story that they only thought it was uninhabited as they hadn't explored beyond their little area. But then, I thought the build was simple enough that I'd just recreate the building on the island and carry everything else that I could over in the family inventory.
I had never had a sim actually "move" to their discovered island before; but since Lilah was only a teen, she'd be out after curfew.
It's been fun playing IP again, but that chartered island has a real wonky return portal and I have to "return home" and cancel when the boat gets her next to the island. Then, I use "go here" to get her from the boat to a good spot on the island. It's always a challenge working around weird routing issues!
Glad you figured out how you want to play Lilah Cobb but a shame you found more issues in IP @ciane
However, if anyone could figure out a fix/solution it would be you!!

That is so true! I am perpetually in awe of your ingenuity.
What a lovely chapter @SamelaRita
Such a great way to find enjoyment on a gloomy rainy morning! how the joy child has stepped up to the plate, getting a part-time job and helping with expenses. Her bedroom is beautiful. The house is feeling loved and you can hear it in her "voice". She sounds feminine to me so that is how I think of her.
The first two chapters were fun to read @ciane
It's interesting watching your take on Lilah! Hoping she'll make a few friends and maybe more when the time is right.

And, I don't add the chickin to mine, but I added it to my hubby's and grandma's. They got corn bread to go with it!
It is something that we all made soup (and at least of two of us made bread as well).
Now, what I'd like everyone to make this weekend is more stories for me to read, but I am very, very patient.

I've a lot of pics, so I'll probably have at least three or four chapters to finish up.
