Goodwill Ambassador

Yesterday, I was happy when Copper told me that Phineas was in town!

Copper: I saw Phineas a little while ago.It took me a while to track him down. But when I did, I found that he wasn’t here to give me the badge for island medals like I was expecting. Instead, he gave me the Goodwill Ambassador badge for inviting many people to my town. Friday Night Forest apparently pushed me over the threshold.

I got the Goodwill Ambassador badge! The more the merrier, I always say!It was my 11th gold badge. Here is an updated look at all of my current badges:

My badge collection as of May 10, 2015.Today is Mother’s Day, and “Mom” sent me a letter with a pink carnation attached. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms (and mums) out there!

Dear Jeff, All those Mother's Day presents you've given me over the years... I've kept each and every one of them. -MomI found Joan this morning, but I had a lot of trouble locking her in to a confined space. I eventually trapped her up against the Sphinx. She was selling turnips for 91 bells, and I bought 3,100 of them.

Joan: The asking price is 91 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?Later on, I found Peck in the campsite. I actually had Drake the duck at my campsite yesterday, so it’s been a birdy weekend. Of course my town is full, so I couldn’t invite either of them in. As for Peck, I think his eyes frighten me.

Peck: Camping is all about enjoying things some people consider inconvenient. Crunch!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Lola from Awesome was my most recent dream visitor.

Friday Night Forest for May

Today, Cally told me she had a strange dream about Tulip from Equestra. Cally said Tulip was a real world traveler.

Cally: I had a very strange dream about someone called Tulip from Equestra.Saharah was in town, and she put in this cityscape wall and ancient tile. I like both of them (but not together), although I already had them both in storage.

Booker paid off his 2nd loan, and his house will be expanded as of tomorrow.

Tom Nook: More room for furniture delights! And for gratuitous swinging of elbows too.At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. T Zelda and Merka came over to play. TZ told me she was dressed as the Mario Kart 8 Villager, and Merka appeared to be a ship captain.

Captain Merka enjoys some coffee.And Agent S was just complaining about the rain.

Agent S: I can't think of anything I hate MORE than rain at night. It's super yucky, cookie.We went out to the island for a couple of tours, starting with a bug-catching tour. We earned a gold Tortimer award and 12 medals; TZ caught the most bugs, so she got 6 additional medals as a bonus.

Tortimer: T ZELDA gets 6 medals, Merka gets 3 medals, and Jeff gets 1 medal!We then went on a gardening tour, where we earned a silver Tortimer award and seven medals. After that, Merka had to leave, so we returned to Forest.

TZ urged me to find her, and then she pitfalled me behind the Butch standee. Then she beat me with a hammer.

T Zelda: Gotcha! XDWe went around shaking trees, collecting coins, and I also rounded up some fruit to sell. Around 11:00, TZ left and I ended my game for the night.

Leapfrogging 40 Million

This morning, I was happy to find that Reese was paying 539 bells for turnips! I sold my entire stash for a total of 1,670,900 bells.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 539 bells.I dropped off some money for Booker’s next house payment (although he hasn’t picked it up just yet), and then I put the rest in my bank account at the post office. My balance leapfrogged the 40 million mark and topped 41 million as well.

Your current balance is 41,420,000 bells.Later on this evening, I found Gulliver down on the beach. He was talking about castles and princesses and sausage; turns out he’s headed to Germany. He’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: Someday I plan on finding a sweet princess of my own and living with her in one of those castles.
Sorry. Your princess is in another castle.

While I was on the eastern beach, I saw a silver slingshot flying by on balloons. I went up the ramp and hit it down with my net.

Daisy: It's a real peacock butterfly! Thank you!I picked up a pitfall seed from the lost and found at the police station, and I used it when I ran into Cally. Welcome to Forest.

Cally, while in a pitfall: Someone help me!The NBA playoffs are underway, and I decided to make a Cavs flag logo design. If you’ve followed my ACCF coverage, you may have seen it in my blog or my town tour video. Go Cavs!

My Cavs logo flag on town hall.I’ve added two versions of the pattern (one with a white background and one with a black background) to the QR Codes Page.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Brad from Haven was my most recent dream visitor.

There probably won’t be a blog entry tomorrow (unless something major happens, like a villager moving out without warning), but I’ll be back with another entry on Friday. Remember, Friday is Friday Night Forest, so I’ll be opening my gate around 10:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, I may only stay on for about an hour this time. But it should be fun regardless. See you then!
