~ F A L L ~ “How many more boxes?” Holly asked sitting beside Gracie on the porch steps.
“Too many,” Gracie rolled her eyes and tried to hide the tired muscles she felt everywhere. “Holly, have I ever told you how much I hate moving?”
Holly giggled, “Hmmm only a million times when we first moved into our old dorm room, and another half a million times over skype last time you moved.”
Gracie smiled, “Okay, okay. Easy now.”
“Luckily I’ve come to your rescue” Holly struck a pose and Gracie laughed, wrapping her arms around Holly’s shoulders.
“I knew it was smart befriending you. Supergirl, aka Holly Swann.”
Holly suddenly perked up “Hey! Gracie, we should take a break and go to that pumpkin patch! I mean this is a farming town, and where better for you to meet a cute farmer? Uh, I mean pick a cute pumpkin!”
Gracie smirked, unamused by Holly’s latest match making schemes. Holly widened her big eyes and pulled out her best puppy pout and before Gracie knew it, they were off to the pumpkin patch.
“So what are you going to make, Gracie Grace?” Holly asked, snacking on pizza while they drove home, complete with large pumpkins in the back seats.
“Probably a cat,” Gracie shrugged while driving.
“Crazy cat lady,” Holly whispered under her breath.
“Hey!” Gracie flicked Holly in the passenger seat, eliciting a whispered ouch. “I am not a crazy cat lady, thank you very much. I only have one. One cute little Willow so I’m not a total spinster.
"You’ll find him Gracie. You will”
“So will you,” Gracie said with a smirk.
Hours passed quickly with such good company, and soon enough the pumpkins were carved and lit, almost all the boxes had been moved, and Holly’s plane was nearing its departure hour. “I’ll miss you.” Gracie said.
“I’ll miss you too,” Holly replied, giving Gracie a hug.
“Thanks for the help, it meant a lot, and I like this getting together more than just once a year at the penthouses.”
Holly smiled, “Yeah, me too.”
With lots of well wishes Holly was off, and Gracie sat on the steps of her new house hoping it wouldn’t always feel as lonely as it did now.

freya is normally such a shy baby but she took the biggest shining to gracie - @simsdeogloria - that she didn’t want her to leave ♥
As a side project I decided to build in Saint Greer Islands. I was inspired by the latest Syboulette Boulangerie set to build some Parisian style buildings, and it's turned into wanting to try to fill Saint Greer with some traditional French style builds. I'm quite in love with how it turned out, with the bougainvillea on the back and the fountains in the garden (landscaping is still the hardest part for me). The plan is to have the mayor and city planner with private offices inside, with a large meeting room and then a courtroom and law office upstairs. I think it looks a little busy with all the trees in the front, once I've filled in some of the surrounding lots I might revisit it and simplify if needed, but for now I gives it such a lush presence. So for now, here is the finished exterior of the Town Hall (which translates La Mairie in French, how lovely).
Syboulette Helios Nursery Walls a collab with @mainlyjustthesims

Gracie sat beneath the warm sun, her nose in a book and the nagging feeling in her mind that she should put on more sunscreen. She peaked up from her book as a group appeared and began setting up volleyball nets. There chatter slightly annoyed Gracie, as she missed the sound of simply the ocean and seagulls.
Gracie sat up with a huff and switched from her current pleasure read, a Jane Austen of course, to a work book she’d been meaning to read on effective tutoring for struggling students. She pulled out her pencil case of highlighters and note cards and switched to study mode, reapplying sunscreen and begrudgingly trying to keep her hair out of her face.
“Grace?”
Gracie’s eyes widened as she looked up to find Matt starring down, a casual smile on his face. ”H..h..heeey” Gracie said slowly. She suddenly felt very exposed both from his critical eyes of her note cards and in her current lack of full clothing.
“What are you doing Grace?”
It’s Gracie, she thought to herself as she shut her book and set it on top of her supplies to hide her obsessive organization. “Oh you know, a teachers summer life. All play and no work doesn’t sit well with my kind. Figured I’d get ahead on my reading while I still have time.”
He quirked an eyebrow at her and she felt even smaller beneath his towering stature. Her mind filled with excuses but her lips couldn’t swallow any of them. He looked indecisive for a moment before offering her his hand. “Come on”
“Where?” It was her turn to quirk and eyebrow and look at him as if he had a second head.
He smiled and shook his head in unbelief. “Into the water smarty pants. Let’s go, I command you to have some fun.”
She grabbed his hand and took a leap of faith to trust him.
Last sunrise here before heading out. Please excuse my early morning “I’m not ready for this day” face. Lol, but I’m so thankful to my bestie for taking these pictures for me.

Office Signs 4t3 Conversion
Two new office signs for your towns. Big thanks to the wonderful @bill-l-s4cc and his TOU that allows conversions. He has so many wonderful signs that I hope to do more in the future.
Landgraab Realty Office Sign: 3,938 polys Goth & Villareal Law Offices Sign: 20,518 polys (Yes this sign is VERY HIGH POLY! It does have a LOD M which is about 6,000 polys which is more reasonable, and I figure this isn't an item you'll use all over a lot, but just realize that is high.)
One recolorable preset, and three non-recolorable presets. Found under paintings and posters for $50 simoleons
