A warm HELLO to you all

 Yes, I am still alive and well.

But so so much happened in my life the past year and a half, so where to begin?

as you are all aware, I took care of my grandson for a long time, can you believe that he is turning three on the 22nd!! Time flew by so fast, and yes, he is still the apple of my eye. 

He got a baby sister in March this year, she is just as adorable as he was when he was a baby. Her name is Chloe. 

We moved to our holiday home in the Lowveld in August 2021 due to my husbands ill health and him being put on disability. Nothing too serious though, his diabetes became a problem for the employer. So, four years before we were planning to retire, our paths made a turn of it's own. We are very happy living here, and enjoy nature every day. 

One unfortunate thing though is that I am still waiting for proper network installation. I am depending on my wifi dongle, and the signal of the service provider. As you may know, we are struggling with electricity and load shedding here on a daily basis,  and as soon as the power is off, away is any whiff of a signal as well. 

It is utterly frustrating, especially when I try to get my game updated, or when I want to install new packs. Sometimes, even the smallest package takes hours to download. 

But, I was able yesterday to get the game updated, and the Horse Ranch EP installed!! Eureka!! I tested it and it seems like the game is running like it should. I have not been in game for over a year, so believe me when I say I feel a bit lost. I have a lot to update since I play with cc, but I do believe I will get there real soon. 

I hope to be able to put something new out there in a while, as my fingers are itching to create. It will most probably be a recolor, as it will take time to get myself acquainted again with all the different programs we use when creating a new mesh. 

I am looking forward to spending more time around here, and to catch up with what went on in your lives in the past year. 


Lots of love!

  1. You have no idea how much I have missed you and to see you post here has bought tears to my eyes. I have so much to tell you but that will have to wait until we can Skype!
    How lovely that Alexander has a little sister, I can't believe he is three, time has certainly flown by.
    Bailey turned 10 in September and is almost as tall as me.......he's going to tower over me very soon. Peyton is now 6, with more attitude that I can deal with πŸ™„ I have had them for 4 and a half years now, it seems like only yesterday that I picked them up at the airport.
    I have a new granddaughter arriving in early January, first baby for my daughter Sam and we all can't wait!
    I am very happy you were able to update your game, that tells me you are serious about returning!! 😁
    I hope to hear from you soon

    All my love
    ALWAYS your Sis πŸ’ž

  2. Oh Anita, I'm so happy to see your return to the sims. I know you enjoyed your time with Alexander though. I hope your internet situation gets resolved, I know how frustrating that can be. I hope your husband is doing well. So very glad to see you. Love, Rana
