Grandmother's Ghost

I still see grandmother...I wonder what she's trying to tell me...maybe to continue my acting and not to let what's going on hurt me...I've been considering auditioning for MMAM2 with my bff Etta Leigh, or maybe I could move to a bigger city, there are no opportunities in this small town anymore. Pooh!

Change

Babies change life, I suppose since they are life. I'm happy now that Thomasina is out of me and I can return to work soon, I hope my job hasn't suffered and my career been derailed. I suppose we'll have to hire a nanny for the little one, unless Clark gets some days off from covering news for the paper, which I doubt. Especially since he has a new job as a correspondant with STAR. At least it's extra money coming into the house, which we'll need when we move...again.

Mano-e-Mano

I visited the Farmer's Market to look around and experience the Food Expo. I spoke with Leroy, the owner and the previous pastor of the hood before the great scandal. He said that I am doing a great job and to keep my wife happy, I told him that sometimes trying to keep them happy doesn't stop them from...well, he knew what I was talking about. I invited him to service and I said that I hoped to see him there. Nicole wants to serve refreshments after service, mostly cake and tea. I miss her island cooking, maybe I can find some ingrediants to surprise her.

ME!

School is going great, but my life is getting much better! I have been chatting online with a guy from a nearby hood...the formal was nice, there wasn't a lot of guys...though Tobi did talk to me a lot, he's cute but...I don't know if mom would approve. Our goals are a bit different as well and since I want to become the next spokesim, I must devote my time and energy to that.

Fatherhood

I am married and will be a father. Has dad given me the art gallery? No! Why won't he turn over the deed to me, do I have to wait for him to die!
I am curious about the baby...we decided to give Carmela's other baby up for adoption, wouldn't be good to have competition for the estate. I wonder if I will have a little boy to train to run the store, or maybe a little girl.

Son Married Off

Joey is married, Johan will probably be next. He's been looking at his grandmother's vintage ring, I think he will offer that to Jadhira. J&J, funny how those Simborough women found loves with thier same initials.
The hood is in a tizzy (is that a valid word) with the proposal for the new school. Naturally, Johan is applying for the position. Currently he teaches at an elementary school downtown, but he's taking his certification test for secondary education. I wish him luck of course.
Jolie is doing well at university and Janet...well, she's a typical teenager.

I'm too sexy

Hihi, I was named Mr. Teen Scream at the Apple Dumpling Ball. Hihi, that's cool. I'm trying to find a job as a school crossing guard. I love the law and fighting to make sure that it's obeyed. I wonder if I will ever be able to become the jailor for the hood. The stipend is free housing (no mortgage or rent payments) and I'd work at the force downtown and keeping the streets of Apple Valley safe...hmmm, one day.
