Working for the Simoleans

Things are going bad rather quickly. Shortly after Starr's death, we recieved a package from England. Instead of the expected letter of condolences, there was a bill for back taxes on the property there. We owe $50,000!!! The only way I see to pay that is to sell the family home and moving into something smaller. No amount of overtime I put in will pay that fine. We'll see what happens, but I definately don't want to go to jail!

Robbed!

We were almost robbed. Thank goodness we have the new state-of-the art alarm monitering system (it's installed in every house in Royal Gala).

The police were here in a flash and the burgler was caught. We even claimed a small reward since he was wanted elsewhere in the hood.

I don't know if he will be jailed-I hope so. Thankfully everything was recovered, but it's still a scary feeling.

Tomboy

Marilyn is such a tomboy. She is always playing catch with her father or fetch with Dryfus. I suppose it is well and good. Thankfully Ginger is more like me. She loves standing in the kitchen watching me prepare meals and asking all sorts of questions. Perhaps we should buy her a toy oven, she would love that. Making muffins and such.

Memorial Service

Cassandra is resting, so I'm posting some photos of the memorial service. It was nice to see the family again, it was sad that they were there for a sad occasion. Clark and his wife Elda came, she looked as if she would go in labor anysimday now. Astaire and his wife came, they left the little one at home. Other community friends came, ate desserts, listened to Hazel Starr play a tribute to her grandmother and they paid thier respects. Very nice.

Nothing much

I made the honor roll at school, mum is proud. I am finished with Pahala Shore for the season, grandmother and grandfather are dead. I miss grandmum a lot, she would help me with my lines for the show and make sure that the producer was giving my character quality work and storylines...now grandmum's gone...I'm not sure about this acting thing. It's hard, finding work is hard...my working visa is up soon. After this last season, I must age into an adult or go to university. I think I'll skip uni and try to start acting again.
