Turnip Spike

This morning, my Re-Tail was buying turnips for 347 bells apiece! It seems like the spikes usually come on Thursdays (when they come at all). I sold everything I had and scored myself 416,400 bells.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 416,400 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?

That put my bank account balance over 13 million bells. Later on, when I checked my mail, I had a letter from Gulliver with a moai statue attached.

I saw Gala the pig, and she said she was looking to replace her piggy bank. She asked me for some furniture, and I tried to give her the moai statue. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t accept it.

Gala: Sorry, I want something to replace my piggy bank... Unfortunately, this won't work.

It needed to be something that could be placed on something else, so I caught her a carp. She thanked me for it and gave me a corinthian post.

Saharah was in town, and she installed a groovy wall and a concrete floor in my house. I didn’t think it was so groovy.

A groovy wall and concrete floor.

I had another camper at the campsite today: It was my old friend Puck the penguin!

Puck: I'm gonna take a big bite out of an apple or peach without letting you see.

I later ran into Rolf, who asked me if I preferred spaghetti or macaroni and cheese.

Rolf: Hey, bucko, which do you like better--spaghetti or good ol'-fashioned mac 'n' cheese?

I like them both, so I said I wasn’t sure. He was angered by my non-choice.

Rolf: You gotta be kidding me! You can't be "not sure" about this stuff! This is serious business! Use your noodle!

And I StreetPassed Ian from Xereo again, and he gave me another ice cream cone. This time, it was a matcha soft-serve. Uh what?

Skye had one thing to say about that flavor:

Skye: EW!

Fixing Rolf

As I was busy in my house, Rolf barged in. I’m not a fan of these unplanned visits, so I just spoke to him once and then sat down until he left.

Rolf: Well, I guess it's about time I was getting home... Sorry for barging in on you like this all of a sudden!I got my wild painting in the mail from Crazy Redd, but as I feared, it turned out to be a fake.

Reese: Oh no! If you look very closely at it, you can see it's a fake!Over by my stump, Aurora asked me for some perfect fruit.

Aurora: It's supposed to be so sweet and juicy that your tongue does little flips of joy!I gave her a perfect peach, and she enjoyed it. To thank me, she gave me a massage…wait for it…chair.

Aurora: Here. What do you think about my massage chair? I hope you like it!Rolf asked me to return something he borrowed from Tia, so I agreed to help him out. When I gave the item to Tia, she rewarded me with her picture. The interesting part? She said it was a good find!

Tia: It's Tia's pic! This is a good find, so take good care of it!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Charles from MtSilver was my most recent dream visitor. And when I met up with Rolf again, he asked me if he should change his catchphrase. I told him to keep saying “tiger” and that cheered him up (or “fixed him”).

Rolf: But I think you just fixed me! Sorry you had to see that wimpy side of me, tiger!After a quick (but unfruitful) trip to the island, I spotted Gulliver on my beach. I woke him up, and I figured out that he’s headed to Easter Island once again. He’ll be sending me a moai statue tomorrow.

Gulliver: This place is an island! Yup, an island in the middle of the ocean, which is where I'd put an island!That wrapped up my night in Forest. But here is a slideshow of some of my best pictures taken in the month of April:

Lost Mitten, Lost Kitten

Today, Rooney the kangaroo had a tent set up at the campsite. Of course my town is still full with ten villagers, but I wouldn’t have asked him to move in anyway.

Rooney: Hey, how ya doin'? I thought I'd set up camp herBut that wasn’t the only tent in town, because Crazy Redd had one of his own at the event plaza. He had a real scary painting for sale, but I already had that in my museum. So I took a chance on this wild painting, even though it’s likely fake.

Redd: Oh ho! Am I mistaken? Because I see ya lookin' pretty close at that wild painting right there!Not far from the tents, I spotted a lost mitten on the ground.

A lost item on the ground.Could this be the naughty kitten that has lost her mitten?

Katie: Oh, it's you again! The mayor guy!But this lost little mitten
did not belong to the kitten
who is always in my town
and brings my mood down.

I had better luck
when I spoke to the duck.
Her wing wasn’t fittin’,
but she said it’s her mitten.

I had to take her word;
she’s been an honest bird.
To me, she did thank
as she gave me a tank.

Molly: In terms of a reward, this is all I have on me right now. I hope you like my sunset tank!When I went up to the Dream Suite, Luna told me Larka from Rainfell was my most recent dream visitor. I returned to town, and Aurora asked me for some furniture. I had just the thing for her! A steamroller!

Aurora: Oh, a steamroller! Nice!I’m sure Aurora won’t put this back up for sale at the flea market like Kidd did! Aurora wouldn’t do that to me. She rewarded me by giving me a kitchen tile.

I met up with Molly again, and she asked me for some ocean fish. She must be hungry. So I went out and caught her a squid.

Molly: Oh! Thanks so much for this squid!I thought she liked it, until she rewarded me with a moldy shirt. That’s not nice, Molly.

Molly: It's a moldy shirt.My day was about done, but later on, I made one last stop. I had some wallpaper to deliver to Panda from the town of Summers.

Panda: Thanks a lot btw.See you all next time!
