Moving

Well, since we are elders and Sazo is coming into his own, Darrel and I are stepping back more and more, which means it's up to him to chose where we're moving to next...as long as it isn't that affordable housing area, I don't think we would like that...successful business owners forced to stay there-no thank you.

O-side note, Sandy gave birth to a little girl. I have two granddaughters now.

Passing things on

I have been spending almost every waking hour talking to Sazo about the business, trying to teach him the ways and sharing my connections. He doesn't seem to interested, especially with his new daughter. He's easily distracted, but fatherhood does that to you.

Soon I will pass the deed to CupaJava to him, allow him to manage the business and offically step back and spend my time baking goodies and training the trainee...if we ever get one. Actually, there's an interest for the position from a college student-Ms. Jolie Dawson, she's actually Elle's niece and I can vouch and say that the young lady can cook...but can she bake.

Baba

I'm a baba (father), Sandy delivered our first child, S'Ahmisa Warwick. A beautiful little girl. She is my pride and joy.

We're moving, the question is where. There is a house for sale on Granny Smith, it's not yet on the market, but the owners are looking at a house on Royal Gala because the owners of the second house are looking to move to an affordable house on Fuji. Whew! Such a circle. I hope things work out. The house is nice, two stories, three bedrooms, two baths and a spacious common areas. Only thing is that it is a bit expensive, but we're going to get a mortgage on the home. Of course it would need redecorating in our own unique style. I can't wait to start S'Ahmisa's nursery and start making another baby for her.

Food Expo Starts

The Food Expo had a lovely start, we even had a night BBQ in the backyard. I don't know why Darrel and Sazo sunk so much money into the patio, we have until simMonday to move out of the complex and into a "traditional" single family home or elsewhere. We'll probably buy one of the homes being built on Fuji Court. Elda and her family will have to move...again. I feel sorry for them, but I'm sure they will survive.

Food Expo Preperation

The food expo starts tomorrow simday. Darrel is very excited about it, CupaJava isn't a designated site, but he hopes that the coupons and discounts given during the Food Expo will generate more business. Sazo's fiance, Sandy, moved in with us since the hood council reclaimed her flat. There have been some changes with flat ownership, thankfully we owned our before the changes were inacted. O, we'll be grandparents soon. Elda is due any simday now and Sazo just announced that he and Sandy are expecting a child. I wonder how that will affect thier wedding plans?

I will be a

a father. Sandy told me that she's pregnant. Pregnant! I'll be a father. Sandy moved in with me...before we found out she was pregnant. Maybe now we'll need the space of the downstairs apartment :\ too late, the hood has reclaimed it and now Sandy and I live with mom and dad and soon there will be another sim. A baby! I'm going to be a father!

Business Outlook

I've been training Sazo about connection skills and soon, this shop will be his. I must admit, he's done vast improvements, the bakery, the custom coffees for sale, and even the deal with Pennelson Publishing to sell books. I think I will need to focus on finding a baker to replace me...maybe we'll find a sim at the Food Expo contests. Yes...I will be one of the judges and we can find a baker and train them to bake!
