We are starting to really flourish as a community now. Each household has at least one outside business. I have several more lots for purchase, so I hope that they will be put to good use. My paintings are also becoming quite the collectable items among the others. Makes me feel good. I can't complain about the inflow of money as well, but I will hold off on getting more lots for now. Don't want to expand too quickly for fear of overestimating and causing economical harm. I have done some building of the Real Estate with some of the money that I have. Who knows? Maybe I should also do some expanding of the house as well. I think that I will wait on that for now.

I have continued to teach [[Fanon:David Harper|David]] and Jim the business trades. I am confident that when the time comes that I will be able to turn over the businesses over to them to run. David will probably be more that willing to do so. I'm not too sure about Jim. He seems to have more interest in rapping and peddling for money than he is running a business. However, when I showed him that doing painting will improve his musical skills, he was more than willing to start learning. So maybe there is hope for him yet. If the very least, he will be of some help for his half brother.{{clrr}}

Just like Tyler, I too have had my (first?) birthday. It kind of puts things into perspective now that I have been around for over 30 days. I have seen my boys grow to almost being men themselves. I have been teaching them what I know about carpentry and running a business. Both seem to be really taking it on. They have even taken on personal training. Pretty soon they will know everything that I know, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since it is obvious that I am slowing down and they will be the ones to continue with the torch. I have a feeling that they will take things to the next level. And I am actually excited to see what they will bring in terms of the next generation of Carpenters.

[[File:Chris Fisher Elder.png|right|thumb|[[Fanon:Chris Fisher|Chris]] as an elder]]Well, what can [[Fanon:Chris Fisher|I]] say? This winter has been a really hard one. The lake froze over and I wasn't able to keep things going business-wise. To make matters worse, I have also become old just like the other Originals. That means that [[Fanon:Nick Fisher|Nick]] will have to take up fishing more as well as the businesses in the coming days. He has learned what I know about running a business, but he still have some things to learn about fishing. I'm not too worried about that though because I know it is only a matter of time that he learns what little he doesn't know yet. And of course I am going to be helping as much as I can with the fishing and businesses because we have to pickup from this bad winter. I must say that it was a good thing that I was able to start working with Sean at the Rec Center to help keep an income somehow. I know that I will never become a personal trainer, but that is probably a good thing considering that I am really slowing down. A word of advice: DON'T GET OLD!{{clrr}}

The Bakery is actually growing quite nicely. Not quite where I envision it to be yet, but there are a few tables, and even some groceries and a display of bakery. It is even indoors now. A good thing too because there were times when Sims were quite cold from the effects of the winter. Connor and Zack have been good hosts and waiters while our neighbors enjoy some of my cooking. I hope eventually we will have enough money to really build up the place so that we can serve more than just a handful at a time.

It is so hard to believe that everyone is growing up so fast. It feels like only yesterday there were only 8 of us who had no idea where we were or what we should do. I remember that first winter storm that came. Some of us didn't have shelter yet, and it was getting really cold. Luckily Sean was able to build us one room shacks pretty quickly. Now there are 21 of us with home and community businesses. Even with colder winters (and hotter heatwaves for that matter), we are all doing pretty well. I hope that I live long enough to see the next generation grow up. I am even more excited to see how much we build our little community.

Anyway, I'm rambling. I mentioned that Martin and Jason are developing their business skills. What I meant was they are learning their way around the register and also picking up some sells tactics. Martin has also picked up a thing or two about pottery. Hopefully he will learn some more as time goes on. Jason, on the other hand, has not had a thing to do with pottery. I have tried to get him involved some, but he just doesn't seem to want to get his hand in the clay. Maybe he will later. If not, it is alright since it seems that Martin is really taking it on.{{clrr}}

In any case, this winter hasn't had that many challenges for my son and I. There wasn't a whole lot of growth for the businesses, but there wasn't any true loss either. I don't think that there will be much worry about in the coming seasons. In fact I think we will keep on growing.

I must say that I am quite impressed with my [[Fanon:Eric Gardener|son]]. He has really taken to being a true gardener. He helped me keep the plants going even when they were freezing in the cold.{{clrr}}

Actually, that isn't entirely correct. Not that I blame him, but David is a few days older than him. Quite a few actually. If you haven't guessed, David gave Timothy his first kiss and Timothy has been on cloud nine all winter because of it. I just hope that he doesn't get too fixated on David because it won't end well if he does.

In other news, the tailoring hasn't been doing too great. Grant it, it hasn't been that bad either, but I just wish it would come along a little better. I know that it was a tough season in general, but it just seems that this season was tougher than most. I don't understand why. Clothes are even more necessary during the winter, so it would seem that Sims would buy them out of necessity. Maybe it is because I am getting older, or maybe because I was distracted by other issues that I have already mentioned. Oh well. Hopefully next season will pick up. In fact, it better.{{clrr}}

Anyways, I'm rambling. The season was a little slow for business, but that was to be expected. I am actually impressed with [[Fanon:Jared Plummer|Jared]] because he has really picked up for me and is really running things quite well by himself. I have no worries that he will take on the name of the Plummer.
