I was reminded once again of why I love this stuff.
When I last wrote on these pages I was a single woman. Now I’m married with three kids.
My growing family and I took a trip to Egypt recently. I dragged my now-husband, Andy; my two adopted teenagers, Imsety and Satis, and my biological son, AJ, to the pyramids of Al-Simhara. I’d settle here permanently … if I didn’t have my whole family in Sunset Valley.
The minute he got there, Sety chatted up Amelie Tisseur, a French explorer. I wonder about him though. He seems to have inherited his bio dad’s… um, gregariousness, for lack of a better term.
Then I leaned over and I overheard him talking about me. His Simlish isn’t great, still, but I have to admit it’s vastly improved. Apparently he was telling Amelie the story of how I found him and Satis. “Blond lady ride on Kenspa,” I heard him say. Apparently Sety will tell the tale to anyone who will listen. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
AJ, the lil man, wanted to see the Sphinx so I took him there. I also taught him the mummy song I’d learnt from Satis way back when. I actually think he’ll be an adventurer as well. I’m not sure I’m happy about that, either.
I’m ridiculously out of shape (that’s what having a baby will do) so I found myself chasing Andy through the desert. First on Kenspas and then on foot. Andy had an opportunity to go into one of the pyramids and I didn’t want him to go in unprepared. He doesn’t do this stuff for a living, I do.
Andy checked out the door while I watched. Sety came by a few moments later, then I sent him and AJ back to base camp while Andy and I checked the place out.
Andy wanted to learn the mummy song, and plus his opportunity only required him to go inside the tomb, so this was where we stopped.
And while we had the tomb all to ourselves… well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words so I’ll shut up now.
More later, Savannah
