In Travolta's I've finally gotten to the blueprint part.  I found all the library pieces and started that.  Today I've been doing botany.  I hate those minigames so I thought I'd get it over with right away.  I've just kept checking in and doing either 2 or 4 of them at a time and then going away.  Finally got all those leaves sorted but don't have enough stuff to start building.  I hate the leaves, partly because I can't tell them apart.  For some reason I always think maple leaves are oak leaves, I have to stop and think of the Canadien flag to remember which it is.  My names for them are stuff like ... maple, oak, other oak, pot leaf, inverted pot leaf, green, other green, normal, other normal, rounded, ugly, pointy, 3 points, ugly 3 points, can you tell why I have such a hard time?  I was so happy that I got the blueprint piece every time so I didn't have to play any of them over again.
 

I hate Maine, too, or at least the kitchen part.  I made sure to get all the stuff out of there before I had to open up the miniscenes in my newer game.

I'm just waiting for the Letter in a Bottle.  I am beyond sick of playing the first 3 countries a gazillion times each to get resources to build the stuff on the museum island.  And turning the collections in for fuel is sooo tedious.

I finished up Portland and West Virginia today.   What's left is to play Minnesota another 20 times, the yacht 40 times, and the restaurant 8 times. 

When I'm done I'll have earned 4,000 gold.  Then it will be time to rest up and collect hammers for the Spring event.  Bet we're all looking forward to assembling that turtle again.

So tomorrow will be for the last love letter, I need 53 in one game and a lot in the other and I have a shuffleboard tournament until at least 4pm.  I've been gone from 7am until 7 or 8 pm the last 2 days at a way out of town tournament (3rd main).  Why couldn't it have been today, my day off?  Don't know how many I can manage tomorrow, but will do my best.  Can't imaging making 400 collections, my 100 is making me ill.

Lily, Mila means you can use gold, around 85, to unlock that country ahead of time, you'll make the gold back with the owl collections.

I finally got to the blueprint quests so now I need all that other stuff.  Ain't gonna happen for awhile.  I'm feeling so burnt out on my FTPs right now between all the gold collections in ART and all the same minigame resources needed in AK and all the endless rounds in MC.  This weekend I'm hoping to play a regular game for a change.
