And we're off again...

So with the Photobucket pictures out of the way, we can make a fresh start. This time around the pictures are on Imgur. I hope it lasts.

I closed the game with the Thao family last time, so that's where I started, three years later. 

Esther Thao had some trouble with her stove.



Richard hid in his toybox - probably more scared of his mother's freaking out than of the fire itself.



Despite this little setback, they seem to be doing well. Ernest is still working on his Sports Agent career, and Esther is still a cook.

Yves Bernard died. Tracie went to the catacombs to find his grave, but they didn't have a grand funeral.



Yves is now buried next to Harmony. And Sofia Harrell is now the oldest resident.

Jason Bingsley - one of the new immigrants.



Raoul Mendez, on his horse Scarlet, who recently won another race.



Bartender Waylon, on the Lucky Simoleon casino boat.



And an aerial shot of the Adams farm, with the cows, chickens and greenhouse back in place. And a new tractor.

Since the town is based on Winchester Farming, by MySimRealty, I have a few of the original MSR families from their save game that comes with the world. I put them in my library. The Westboro and Bingsly families are already placed, and now the MuMacker family has moved in.

Here are the MuMackers: Michael and Daisy, with their children Holly Sue, Hank, Heather and Harrison.



Michael wants a perfect garden, and he joined the Science career. Daisy wants to be surrounded by family, so I thought she should have another baby soon (before she's too old).
They did change their name to just plain "Mack".

And then it was winter. Here are more random shots of houses around town, because I love the snow.















Near the end of the winter, Brandy Bernard became the first horse to die in the game. She was buried at the Equestrian Center.
