Busy Bench

Yesterday, Agent S told me she wanted to get rid of her dung beetle. I wonder why.

Agent S: Time to get rid of my dung beetle. It's a nice touch, but I'm over it.So I offered her something much better to put in its place: Chocolate cake! Nice trade, right?

Agent S: Check out my beautiful new chocolate cake!She even broke off a piece for the dung beetle to roll around. She rewarded me by giving me her picture.

I spotted Big Top sitting on the metal bench today. He told me to chill out and sit with him for a while. So I did. Just not for long.

I put it near my town tree, so it’s easy for you to grab and eat if you visit my dream town (dream address 4300-2003-9889). I keep some other fun goodies there, too. That includes a toy hammer, some ice cream, and some famous mushrooms so you can be giant-sized!

Your current balance is 61,040,000 bells.Later on tonight, I found Pashmina sitting on the metal bench. Two villagers in one day? That doesn’t happen very often. She also asked me to join her. I felt like I had no choice.

Pashmina: Doesn't bother me one bit! Go right ahead, or you die!My recent dream visitors have been Rebecca from Newfane and Nic from Swampy’s. Thanks to all who have visited–both my dream town and this blog! Have a great day!

Valentine’s Day 2016

It’s Valentine’s Day today, and I had several letters in my mailbox related to the holiday. Isabelle sent me a chocolate cake that she made for me, Molly (my valentine again this year) sent me a chocolate heart, and my mom sent me a cacao tree. Apparently she wants me to grow my own chocolate.

Brewster also brewed up a Valentine’s Day treat for me, too. Instead of coffee, he serves hot chocolate on this day each year.

Drinking hot chocolate for Valentine's Day. It's so sweet!Velma asked me for some fruit tonight, and I gave her a perfect cherry. She loved it! In return, she gave me a rococo candlestick as seemingly half the town was observing the exchange as if it was a drug deal or something. Back off, guys.

Velma: I really owe you for that! Here's my rococo candlestick.

Since I still had Jolly Old Saint Nicholas as my town tune (since December 15th), I decided to change it while I was still thinking about it. It’s easy to keep forgetting things like that. 😛 I changed it to the song Such Great Heights by The Postal Service. I’ve used this town tune before, but I don’t recall sharing the notes in the blog at the time. If you want to use it too, feel free! Here are the notes:

Molly: I've decided to move on the 17th of this month.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Brandon from Coolvill was my most recent dream visitor. Timber from Xing was yesterday’s visitor. Thanks to both of you for visiting, and thanks to all of you who read this blog! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

Postmaster Badge

At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest–as I do each month on the second Friday. As I waited to see if anyone would come, I noticed the northern lights up in the sky.

Northern lights above Forest.I didn’t just stand around waiting, though; I worked on my badges. I went diving in the ocean, I did some fishing, I caught a few bugs from rocks, and I bought some packs of paper and mailed away about 24 letters to Pashmina and Velma. I also caught some snowflakes here and there, enough to redeem them for two pieces of the ice set from Snowmam.

Snowmam: As a token of my appreciation, please accept this ice floor.I haven’t been able to sell my ice set stuff for a while, though. Every day lately, the premium item at Re-Tail has been a random fish–it was a yellow perch today. Blah.

Once it got to be 10:40, I gave up on receiving any visitors tonight and I closed my gate. And once I did, Phineas appeared in town! He gave me the Postmaster badge (gold) for writing lots of letters.

Getting the postmaster badge from Phineas.That was the only badge he had for me today, but I’m not complaining. I’m glad that I won’t have to write any more letters! Here is an updated picture of my current badges:

My recent dream visitors were Migs from Migsland (yesterday) and Clayton from Lebanon (today). Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!
