1940...

Rushing in to the 1940s we have a few birthdays and welcome a new fur baby.

First we begin our year with the 50th Birthday of Mr. Nathaniel Wellington. And what a party it was...

And here he is Ladies and Gentlemen... Don Johnson, ages to a teenager. I have to say I think Ruth has produced some seriously good looking children. While I am using CC even without it they don't look much different than they do with it. (which got me thinking, why am I even using cosmetic CC, but I was looking for wrinkles and more skin details like freckles, and moles and the like. Then I came across some skin overlays that have some near realism detail to them and I fell in love with the Aphrodite Skin by PralineSims and just downloaded a whole bunch of what they had. Now I am in love and obsessed with finding realistic skin overlays. I did find some others I like but the other skin details won't appear when using them and I like to use the freckles and the body hair tatts. I have Frances in the aphrodite skin since she was very overweight until the 1930s and lost it during the depression...)

Toward the end of the year Lewis had a family get together. Thanks to the memorable events mod by KAWAIISTACIE, I was able to invite everyone. Now that's not to say it did not have its issues as it was hard to gather everyone in one space for a picture of them all. (Gonna have to figure that one out, which I think I'll to use poseplayer. Not that I mind just takes a long minute to set everyone up.)
So Lewis goes straight to Steve and talks about the war, while Frances corners Frank trying to get him to meet a friend of hers. Neither seemed very interested in continuing those conversations. So then we moved onto trying to get everyone to eat but instead of grabbing a plate and eating at the long family table they grabbed plates and went their own ways (which is very similar to real life family get togethers).

And this is The Old Farm home during the winter. I have made some improvements on the home to make it more accommodating to the growing family. But I love how it looks in the winter.
