Beauty Payne
Christian:
MaryJo is an animal lover, Bucky, Penny, and Parker are equestrian. I decided it was time to put some horses in the barn. I took a taxi to the equestrian center to look at the available horses.
With only 3 stalls, I decided to start with a mare. Her name is Beauty Payne. According to her handler, she is obedient and a genius.
I rode her home and got her settled in a stall. I will work with her for the first week, then I will let the teenagers have a go, starting with Parker and MaryJo. Our guests Bucky and Penny will have to wait to take turns with the horses.
Penny is attracted to Bucky. We’ll see where this goes.
I brushed Beauty and cleaned her hooves.
After letting her get to know me, I climbed up on her back. Wait… what?
Parker had Beauty do some jumping and then he fell when trying to dismount.
It’s time for our eldest, September, to graduate! We’re so proud of her.

There were so many Sims there that everyone stood outside waiting to enter.

Parker arrived late, but at least he showed up for his sister’s graduation.
In the middle of graduation, Loni said she wasn’t feeling well, and left the auditorium. Then this happened!
We came out to mourn her death. September chose to toss her diploma in the air. She was voted most likely to get married.
L-R: Evan, Bucky, Christian, Jean, September, Phoenix hiding, MaryJo, Parker, Penny.
The Grim Reaper just walked away leaving us all devastated.
L-R: Evan, Grim Reaper, Christian, Parker, Phoenix, Bucky, Jean, Penny, September. You can’t see MaryJo as she is behind the Grim Reaper in this shot.
I buried Loni next to her father, Fred Marsden, in the family cemetery. She was 92.
Wanda Singleton asked Bucky to the prom and he said yes.
Someone asked Jean out on a date at the consignment store. He wasn’t there when she arrived, so she chose to read Logical Fallacies You Can Really Believe while she waited. He never showed, so she went home.
September’s latest painting depicted the dark place she was in at the death of her mother. She hung it on the wall in the upstairs common area.
I found Evan berating Penny’s ignorance while Jean watched through the window.
Parker loves to ride Beauty. He takes her out every day despite the weather.
