More Granite Falls

 Carly, Day 188, July 7, 2026

The next day was chillier than the first and there were even some snow flurries. And everyday should start out with giving Em a kiss - so glad these interactions are back!

After Carly got up, they decided to go to the park. They did some exploration looking for plants or things to dig up.

They did some more fishing and took some pictures.

Carly cooked some Camper's Stew for lunch.

And they played some horseshoes.

Carly won.

And back to the lodge to play some fetch with EmmaLou and Carly did some knitting.

And in spite of the cold temperatures, it was a beautiful night for stargazing.


Carly: Is that a new little star up there next to EmmaLou?
Phillip: I think so, but it is very faint.

And they snuggled for a bit on the blanket before making cinnamon rolls.



The next morning Carly wasn't feeling so good and she blamed it on the cinnamon rolls.

Carly to Watcher: I wish you would have had me change. Now everyone is going to see my skimpy lingerie.
Watcher: Sorry, Carly. I didn't even notice until I looked at the pictures. I was too excited for you.

Carly couldn't wait to tell Phillip.


Phillip was cooking breakfast and was thrilled with the news. Carly thought to herself that this is truly life's biggest adventure.


And they ate their pancakes and got ready to head back home and get the nursery ready. And Phillip never stopped smiling.


Phillip: Carly, I am so happy this is our next adventure.

And they packed up and headed back to Strangerville for the next part of their life.

Dinner With Friends

Image
 Carly, Day 57, February 26, 2026 Carly intended for just the girls to get together for dinner so they could talk about Jace and Ashley, but Carly forgets that if a few of them get together, it's a club meeting. Watcher will forever forget that so the gang went to the restaurant in Gibbi Point. Since the activities are singing and dancing for now, Irene and Lilith decided to entertain this lovely couple. And Lilith continued to entertain them and everyone else sat down at the table.  Carly: I am so excited for the move. Cebolla: Me too and doesn't Honey look cute? Honey: Is it just me or did Tae lighten his hair? Jace: Carly, what did you all think of Ashley? Carly: Jace, you know one thing I've never done in Gibbi Point is shoot an apple off someone's head. Honey: Oh yeah, that's fun. Jace: And you want me to put an apple on my head? Carly: Yes, it will be fun. Jace thinking I hope she knows what she's doing Cebolla: I do it all the time, I don't think you...

Back At Home

Image
 Carly, Day 146, May 26, 2026 The best thing about coming home after a long vacation... Em: Mommy, mommy, I missed you. Carly: I missed you too cutie pie. Carly was a little rusty with her swordsmanship training though. Carly: Ouch! And Carly started right in on trying to complete the social puppeteer. She thought maybe she could get some secrets at some of the bars, so after Phillip went to sleep, Carly headed out. She got enough secrets to complete the third part of the aspiration. Look how muscular everyone is though. It was definitely that decree. I had Phillip remove it so we'll see if people stop being so muscular. For the fourth part, she has to expose the royal burglar and she has to become friends with the Information Broker, as well as deal with 10 more secrets. But she is able to hack for the secrets in that last phase so she has been doing that too. And all of these interactions with the nobles has increased her rank with the nobles to where she outranks Phillip.  ...

Start of a New Term

Image
 Carly, Day 96, April 6, 2026 One thing that makes University so hard is not getting your new classes until about 6PM and then you may have 3 classes to do homework for. Luckily, Carly only had 2 Thursday classes to prepare for. She was hard at work (mostly hard at work) studying when someone happened to be walking by her house and couldn't resist stopping in to see her.  Watcher: You just have to get through two class homeworks tonight.  Carly: I know. Watcher: You do not look like you are reading about writing children's books. Carly: I am still reading the book.  That's about the time Paolo showed up. That little want she has in the corner is to woohoo with Paolo.  Watcher: Carly, you still have to finish one more homework. Carly: Watcher says I have to do this one homework before we whatever. Paolo: What's a watcher? Carly: You don't have one. You get to do whatever you want whenever you want. But then they were interrupted by someone else coming in the hous...
