I'd fit right in with his sisters, having a rather broad jaw myself . . . not sure what part of my heritage I would blame that on though. ;)

I've got the nose thing goin' on myself. lol!

Yeah, not saying that my nose is particularly small either come to think of it.

I was going to comment on your livejournal, but since all my reactions are best expressed with emoticons, I might as well do it here instead.

Yay!

(If there was a swooning one, I'd stick that in there too. So romantic! )

@ Em.' Happy much?!

I think it was that I was anticipating drama, but got major romance instead. Now if they can solve all of the obstacles that try to get in their way like this, they will be doing alright.

OOooh la la .... **sigh** Oh I am so in love with all the love going on here

At last!!

I just read Chapter 24 ... YAY!!!
I've commented on your LJ but will copy and paste it here, too, Lady T:


Oh, how wonderful!!!
Toni, dahling, I don't have to tell you how much I LOVE this chapter. It's such a beautiful thing to see Carolyn and Marco not running away, but staying and listening to one another so that they may understand and work through such occurrences.
Yay for growth and progress!
...And a HUGE hooray for their beautiful, much awaited for love.
Bring it on, baby!!!

Thank you Ulli and Sugah! Glad you approve!

I'm back to let you know that this weekend's update has been posted! *bows deeply*

The Harbour...Chapter 25: Need to know

Is he too nice?! I don't want it to be totally unrealistic...there really are some nice guys out there. Of course...they don't always come in such pretty packages, but....

Honestly, though I've gotten inside his head and he's really, really in love with this woman.

And with that said, the long-awaited, much-anticipated (I hope) Chapter 26: Mommy!

He is really in love with her.

At last the neighbour woman have something to gossip about I can see/hear the jungel drum start to beat.

I just decided he needed a nosy neighbour. My gran was her neighbours' nosy neighbour. She knew all their comings and goings. Hee heeee!

Hi Toni,

I posted a comment on your LJ while all my feelings and impressions were still fresh in my mind. Unfortunately, I don't have the option there to express a sentiment like... when words don't cover it!

I love this story! You're taking us to a deeper level.
It just wouldn't be natural for Carolyn's kids to take on board everything in their changing family home without experiencing difficulties and having to make those emotional adjustments. Being a teenager is hard enough!

Your narrative and continuity are so perfect, I just enter straight back into the Harbour and find myself instantly absorbed in the story!



I know you're pacing the story for us and building the tension, but I just can't wait for more!

I want so much for Marco and Carolyn to be happy together!

Aaaaaaawwwwwww! I'm here blushing like a teenager, Jayce!

I am so crazy about my simmies...you have no idea how awesome it is to share their story and have people get all into it too!

Like you said, I didn't think it would be realistic that everything would just fall into place for the family...and again, as you said there're also dealing with all that teenage angst.

I totally know what you mean about the lack of emoticons in LJ. Sugah figured out a way to do it, but I didn't understand the explanation. I'll have to ask her again.

As tempted as I am to hint about what the future holds for the folks in the Harbour, that would totally undermine my fiendishness

Love you guys!!!!!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, guys and dolls...Chapter 27: Tell me this isn't happenning, has been posted.

LOL! I love that your Gran was a nosy neighbor like Marco's neighbor. That sounds like fun! :D

I'm anxiously waiting to see what happens next. That phone call from Caitlin had me worried. Now that Carolyn's home, I'm even more worried . . .

I've had my fair share of nosy neighbours!

And now...without further ado. I present...CHAPTER 28

You scared me madly!

Carolyn really has some handsome brothers haven´t she?

I did well to choose that picture of Carolyn crying then!

They are rather (to quote a wise woman) "Snacky!" if I do say so myself.

I'm particularly enamoured with Manny right now. I go through phases when I'm all into one of the Garcia men. Right now, he's it! There's one other brother, Jon...but he lives in Simmiewood.

Thanks for continuing to follow the saga!

I'd probably be a nosy neighbor myself . . . if I'd grown up with neighbors close enough to be nosy towards. ;D

LOL I think you must be (or would have to be) with that pic your included of him in this chapter. ;)

Toni, as you know I haven't had much time online lately.
I promise I will catch up with what's been going on in The Harbour as soon as possible.
I am only behind a few chapters, so it won't take long to read through them all once I can sit down and do so.
Looking forward to learning what the gang has been up to!!!
