@BreeMiles I thought I had commented on your latest Chad update, but apparently I didn't. I did read and enjoy it when you posted and was very happy to see how things were working out for Chad. :) <3

@ All - It's taken me a month, but I'm back with some promised pictures of the 2-story version of Ella and Jon's house. I haven't been playing because I've been building, so I think they've only had a day of actually "living" since I was last here.* It's Ella and Jon and their infant son, Eric. Ella's still gardening, John's writing, baby's crying ;). Most of their income is from the veggies and not from the books, and I suspect Ella will always make more since she's specializing in those magical, valuable red berry beans. They're about ready to invest in a local business - trying to decide whether it will be the grocery store or the book store. Eventually, I think they should own a community garden, but time will tell.

* Edited to add: Possibly not quite true, but I think I had at least most of the 2-story finished by the time I posted the 1-story pictures.
