Late on Sunday night, I started up the game hoping to catch some of the fireworks festival. However, it was just after midnight, and the event had already ended. So I completely missed out on fireworks in City Folk this year. Oops. But at least Tortimer was still hanging out in front of town hall…
Many of my villagers still had fireworks-related dialogue, so I almost felt like I had been part of it, at least indirectly. 
I found three items in the recycle bin: A gold econo-chair, a glass-top table, and a turntable. It’s pretty rare to find three items in there all at once…but it got even better. Later on, I also found a pine bonsai in there as well! Four items in one session is very rare.
Marcel was still sick with a cold, so I gave him more medicine on Sunday. When I played again tonight, he had sent me a letter telling me he was all better now. He sent me a lovely chair as a thank-you gift.
Nana was fully unpacked, so I got a good look at her house tonight. She has a fruit theme, and that makes perfect sense, considering she’s named after a banana herself.
I spent the last hour of August catching some bugs (and fish) to enjoy the last bit of summer. But the fun ended at the crack of midnight, when September began and tons of crickets suddenly started appearing.
In an instant, many of the rare bugs were gone. But I did still catch a few, including a scorpion that Tom (the cat) offered me 12,698 bells for. (Naturally, I sold it to him.) After I grabbed a vertigo shirt from the lost and found, Tom pinged me again. He wanted the shirt, and he offered me the scorpion that he just bought! I was shocked! 
Of course I made the trade. That’s two amazing trades from Tom. In effect, Tom paid me nearly 13k for a shirt that I got for free! Amazing! It got even better when Grizzly later bought the scorpion from me for 10,752 bells. 
If you look at the series of trades another way, I got over 23k for a scorpion and a shirt.
Since I had trouble finding more rare bugs though, so I sold several rounds of foreign fruit. I ended up being able to boost my bank account balance up to 58 million bells! So I beat my summer goal by a cool half million bells.
