1693

Patience was inducted into the hall of fame. Gotta give the old girl a hand, I never thought she'd make it since she was so old when she started her career in sports. The house sure is quiet without Zoe around now. I'm starting to worry that we won't still be around by the time she graduates.





1692

My little girl leaves for Sim State University. Now I understand what that whole empty nest syndrome is all about. I've started going out on dates while Patience is at work. I'm just so bored since I've retired. I tried photography but that gets boring after a while too.





1691

Zoe has her first crush. She seemed embarrassed that I took a picture of their first kiss. Hey, I'm retired, gotta have a hobby.





1689

My baby girl sure is getting big. She's going to be leaving for college soon and Patience and I will be left rambling alone in the house.





1684

Johan thinks it's funny teasing his mother about her gray hair. He doesn't hafta live with her. I'm the one who gets to listen to her fret and worry about her getting older. I was promoted to mad scientist and I have managed to bring flowers back from the dead. Patience was hoping for a fountain of youth.





1683

Patience says it's 'sweet' that we have entered our twilight years together. I dunno about all that, doesn't seem very golden just yet.





1681

Zoe has started school. She seems to have an awful lot of homework, but it doesn't give her too much trouble once she sits down to do it.





1678

Patience became captain hero, then quickly changed jobs. She's so moody and indecisive lately. Hope it's not menopause. Doesn't she know that most athletes retire at 50 and she's just now starting out?





1677

Zoe became a toddler finally. Even though we're living in a dump, I'm glad Patience suggested we move. We're getting too old to be around 2 little ones. I forgot how exhausting it is chasing them out of the bathroom every 5 minutes.





1676

Johan had a little girl and Patience suddenly decided our old house wasn't big enough, so we moved out and left it for Johan to raise his family in. We ended up buying a really steep lot and built a one room shack onto it.





1674

We built an addition onto the house. It's still pretty crowded if you ask me. But then again, no one seems much interested in my opinion lately.





1671

Ooops, guess all that woohooing had to lead somewhere. Patience is just thrilled to finally have a girl. Good Lord, I hope the woman doesn't dress poor Zoe in all frills and lace.





1669

Oh for the love of Pete! Johan invited his girlfriend to move in. I thought that wife of mine was having a coniption fit. Personally, I don't see the harm in testing the waters before marriage, but Patience put her foot down. Needless to say, Johan and Wilma got married right away.





1668

Titus left for college (woohoo) Johan moved back home (groan). I have mixed feelings about this. I was looking forward to the solitude, on my days off atleast, once Rocky finally leaves for college. But then again, now Patience has someone else to nag and give me a break every once in a while.





1665

Guess Johan has spent more time studying the girls than his books. Chip off the old block that one is. Patience gave me the look of death unless I piped in that he should be more serious about his studies.





1661

Johan left for college! One down, two to go! All joking aside, I will miss the boy. He's the most just like his old man. Rocky and Titus both became teens. Life is starting to settle down some now.





1654

Geez, the 5 of us are squeezed into this little two bedroom house. Luckily Johan is eligible for college and should be moving out soon. But then again, Johan has made for a handy after school baby sitter.
