Snow on the Museum

And here we are… the Windenburg Museum. Used to be my favorite place in the world, and even now, sick with anxiety, I have to stop and marvel at its beauty under the layer of snow the blizzard has left behind. It’s still snowing, but here in Windenburg, the snow is now delicate, soft, magical.

For a minute I forget all about being anxious and everything is perfect again. How can you not feel at peace in such a landscape?

San Myshusnow

It’s a special day today! All stores and shops offer food and drink, for free, for all customers. It’s also the day Mom and Dad decide it’s about time we knew “our roots”.

Really, they mean their roots. With the excuse of free food day, we’re headed on a family trip to San Myshuno’s Spice District, to visit Aunt Miranda and Nolan at their loft.

And when we arrive, we’re greeted with a beautiful surprise. A San Myshuno snow in the Spice District.

Mom looks like a kid who’s just met Father Winter. I know how much she’s missed this place — I don’t think she could be happier. It her first time seeing snow in the Spice Market, too.

I’m happy to see my cousin again, the snowy landscape can wait a bit for my attention. We all spend some time laughing, chatting happily in front of their house — it’s cold but we’re enjoying the surroundings, the atmosphere. It takes some time before we finally admit to ourselves, we don’t even wanna go in.

Morning Angel

In winter the sun never goes really high up in the sky. It stays there, looming an inch over the horizon, bright but foggy, magical.

No one else is foolish enough to step foot outside by these temperatures, so it feels like I have the whole neighborhood to myself, with those big, silent monuments that are the houses around. Complete silence except for the cracks of the snow, white as far as the eyes can see. I’m all alone!

A truly beautiful day for snow angels, indeed.

The Beach

Nounou and I had a bit of a fright, and he must have been feeling terrible these last few days. I think we both deserve a break by the beach. The day is cloudy, and soon enough it starts to rain — but the air is fresh, invigorating, and infused with iodine. And it’s been so long since I’ve walked in the sand, even though I have to walk in boots and jump around cold puddles.

And then there’s the sound of the seagulls. It soothes me.

At least until I see Nounou, fully healed and absolutely not soothed by the sound of birds, running past me like a grey rocket. He leaps at them, then when they fly away in a terrified formation, struts back to me with feathers in his mouth.

Thanks, Nounou. Much appreciated.

I mean, I’m glad he’s feeling better at least.

Studious Setting

The holidays are coming to an end, and Cléo suddenly remembers she had some homework to complete. Cyril has already finished it, so she spends her evenings working on it between two trips to the swimming pool.

In the meantime, I get a head-start on digging my discoveries out of their muddy coffins, then certifying their authenticity.

A Stroll in the Jungle

I’m not aiming for the temple this time — I just want to enjoy the jungle a little more before we have to go back home — and on the way, see if I can find a few more relics and artifacts to dig up and analyze. I intend to take every opportunity to build my collection of discoveries up!

Five things about Naomi

I was tagged by the lovely @justsimroarks to list 5 facts about my favorite sim about a forever ago, so I’m finally getting to it! Thank you for this, I had a lot of fun coming up with them, and then I chose to take a trip down memory lane to illustrate the facts and it was great ❤

Well at the moment my favorite sim is Hannah, but since Naomi, her great-grandmother, is the one sim I spent the most time playing with (over a year), and is overall probably the one I’ve been the most attached to, here are five facts about Naomi! With pretty screenshots, because c’mon.

I hope you enjoy it!

Here come the facts:

1. Naomi has been married twice. Both husbands have left her widowed when they died of old age. What can I say, Naomi’s lived a long life.

2. Naomi has mastered over twenty skills, including painting, her lifelong passion, but also rocket science.

3. Naomi had a hand in raising her four younger siblings, her own four children, and her first grandson, after her teenage son’s girlfriend got pregnant. Naomi is THE mother figure in my game.

4. Naomi never really got over the death of her older brother Hunter. She was the “big sister” and the mother figure for literally everybody else in her life, but he was her big brother, and they were best friends. He died of old age, but when he died she lost the one person she felt the closest to in the world. At least until Miranda and Azalea.

5. I gave Naomi her signature green dress from @aharris00britney the very day she aged up into a teen. I thought it was a bit too short for her once she became an elder so I added some shorts underneath, but this dress is very much her. Every other outfit has changed at some point, but she’s keeping that dress until the day she dies.
