Gracie stuck the phone between her ear and shoulder. “Yep Mama, I got your recipe right here. What says fall potluck like pumpkin pie right?” Gracie began putting groceries away as she listened. “That’s my baby girl. Now your bound to make friends with a recipe this good.”
Gracie chuckled, “I’m sure your right. Mama you know Km hardly your little girl anymore right? I’m 24 with a college degree and a real teaching job. And my own house! Will I ever convince you I’m a grown up?”
“First lets get this straight, you will always be my little girl even when your babies have babies. Second, 24 years old is still a baby! You’ve got a lot more growing and learning to do so don’t get a big head now. Everything you got is a gift from the good Lord so remember that.” Gracie could just picture her mother’s forehead filling with concern and her grey eyes filled with faith.
Gracie grabbed the phone with her free hand and shut the fridge door with the other. “Yes Mama, I’ll remember that. I love you. I’ve gotta go and get this pie done!” Gracie said good byes and hung up the phone, enjoying the stained pages of her ‘recipe journal’ she’d been keeping since high school. She began mixing up the recipe but the further she mixed the more she got a sinking feeling she forgot something. Gracie knew if she called her mama back to ask for help she’d never hear the end of it.
Gracie added another half can of pumpkin and crossed her fingers it worked. As the pie came out of the oven it looked normal. “Well lets hope it still tastes just as good.” She mumbled to herself as she threw tin foil over the top and went to change.

Using Zerbu’s Ultimate Career mod (updated by the lovely Sonya YA on MTS) for the very first time and trying out the politics career. Well, the first town meeting did not go well. Nearly the entire town showed up and turns out only one chair was actually able to be ‘sat in’ thanks to move objects (and that one chair has the town doctor who got this horrible randomly generated career outfit that will be fixed soon). Poor William.
But some drama did start to go down outside, two of the towns teenage boys started to get in a fight outside, seems like Aaron is bullying poor Nathan. Nathan’s family rotation is up next so we’ll have to see what’s going on there.
Even though there was a lot of upset sims, William is making progress in his career and is now up to level 3. Well done buddy.

Well guys, I’m back with some happy/sad news. I lost my job in Appaloosa Plains (to the Principle’s niece no less) and because of that I’ve had to move. I’m so sad to be leaving my Grandmothers Victorian/Farmhouse behind, especially since I’d spent so much time and heart renovating it just how I liked.
But the good news is I’ve found another job in Winchester as a school teacher. It’s a much smaller school but I think it will be a good change. I’m coming on as a full time teacher and also an administrative aid and I’m hoping that during my time here I can really make a difference. So far I’m loving the small town community vibes here.
I’ve also been able to move into my own little farm here. Complete with garden and a little barn with a studio on top. I don’t paint but maybe I’ll have to start trying. The fall weather is so gorgeous and inspiring. The house needs some updating so I’m currently painting to start. As I make progress I’ll share.
Here’s to my favorite season and some new beginnings. Cheers.
-Gracie

“Grace, what are you doing out here?” Matt came and stood beside her on the deck railing, as he closed the door the happy chatter of Bible Study grew dim again and the summertime crickets returned.
Gracie let Matt lean next to her and she pointed to the stars. “It’s a meteor show tonight. It doesn’t start ‘til later but I thought I’d see if I could find any shooting stars. Plus it was getting a little stuffy in there. I mean its great that it’s so full,” Gracie began to stammer, not wanting him to get the wrong idea. “I love seeing so many people at our home group, all hungry to learn about Jesus, don’t get me wrong…”
“It’s just a lot of new faces at once right?” He asked gently. Gracie relaxed and nodded “I hear you. Plus it’s so nice out here! Want to sit?” Matt motioned to the ground and Gracie joined him, a respectable space away. They started pointing out constellations and easily chatting as the night grew darker, and slowly the bible study inside emptied of people. “Hey Grace?” “Yeah?”
“Do you know that I like you?” His voice was timid, which was different from his usual cocky confidence.
But Gracie was to focused on the sky to notice. “Yeah, of course. I mean I like being friends too.” “No, I mean I like you silly girl,” Matt said again, realizing she had no clue. He looked deeply at her as her head whipped around to look at him.
“Me?” She squeaked, and then began coughing. Matt laughed and patted her back until she stopped. “I’m flattered, I mean, I guess I hoped, but I just didn’t think I was your type I guess. I thought photographers only dated models? I just…” She stopped as Matt laughed again, and she felt her nervous heart beating fast.
“Well then you be my new model. Grace, you’re beautiful, you’re smart and kind, why wouldn’t you be my type?” “Ha, me a model, yeah right. You need someone fancier, whose idea of a good Saturday is a day at the spa and a photo shoot on the beach, not a girl like me who spends her day knee deep in dirt in the garden, grading children’s papers and watching movies with her cat.”
“But I love cats!”
Gracie laughed, “Well we’ll have to see if my cat likes you.” “Deal, so if your cat likes me will you go out with me?” Gracie decided to tease, “I mean, I guess, but that’s pretty risky she doesn’t like a lot of people.” “I’ll take my chances”

A huge thank you to Pilar Leon for allowing me to covert their beautiful CAS Backgrounds. Here are two more beautiful backgrounds you can use in your game.
The background uses a 2048x2048px.
The CAS Room Default will replace the basegame CAS Room.
The Stylist Room Default will only replace the Stylist Room. (The Stylist Room Requires Ambitions)
You can only have 1 CAS/Stylist Room Default at a time.
A huge thank you to @pilarleon for allowing me to covert these and for all the beautiful CAS backgrounds they have created. Originals can be found here: Boho 06 & and Boho Vibes
Thank you to Nectar-cellar for the tutorial!
Model Sims are by @johziii and @kapii
Other Mods used in photo is Boringbones CAS UI Overhaul
And a thank you to our wonderful TS3 CC Blogs too :) @katsujiiccfinds @xto3conversionsfinds @pis3update
This little cutie made my day today! For our English project I asked students to write on someone inspirational. Most picked presidents or Astronauts but not Sofia. I was blown away to find she picked me! Moments like this are what make teaching so worth it, when you realize you are impacting a child’s life and future.
——
Thanks to @lumospixels for sending me her lovely Sofia. I love following her IG and it was a privilege to collab with her. Plus, just look at this cutie! And thanks to Frankie for the collab challenges!
