Boots’ Birthday 2019

On Wednesday, Lolly asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with her. I agreed, and she gave me 15 minutes to find her, Rolf, and Agent S. Within a couple of minutes, I found Agent S behind a tree near Re-Tail, and Rolf was…well, I think he was pooping behind a tree near my house!

Rolf makes a strained face as he hides behind a tree during a game of hide and seek.

And with a whopping 11 minutes remaining in the game, I found Lolly hiding behind her own house!

She gave me an exercise bike as my prize for winning. I guess I need it for exercise, since I didn’t get much exercise finding them so quickly! 😛

Lolly: to thank you for playing with us, we're giving you an exercise bike!

I later spotted Rolf fishing off the edge of the cliff! That’s not something you see every day.

Lolly asked me for some new furniture, so I gave her a record player. In return, she gave me a chocolate fountain. Mmm, delicious!

Lolly: Here's my chocolate fountain! Thank you so much for helping me!

Today was Boots’ birthday, and I made sure to attend his party. I gave him the chocolate fountain as his birthday present. Don’t worry, it still had some chocolate left in it. I didn’t eat all of it. 😛

Boots: Oh, nice! I've always wanted a chocolate fountain!

Rolf was also in attendance, to help Boots celebrate…and to eat cake, of course.

Rolf: Times like this help deepen the bonds between friends. Plus, you get to mooch some cake! GAHAHA!

Back outside, I was surprised to see a silver slingshot floating by!

After shooting it down, I checked to see if I already had one in storage. I thought I had one somewhere, but apparently not. At least, I couldn’t find it. So I put it into storage for now.

Big Top asked me to give him a gold nugget in exchange for a frilly apron, which is one of the worst trades I’ve ever been offered. But since I’m so desperate to shake the “bell pincher” label, I made the exchange. It may not actually make a difference, since bells weren’t involved, but I didn’t want to take a chance.

How to Replace a Toilet

I was visiting Boots on Thursday, and he informed me that his stool is really comfortable. Uh, I guess that’s good? Why is he telling me this? At least he won’t need any stool softener.

Boots: Heh heh! I gotta say, my stool is really comfortable.

Tonight, Big Top was looking for some new furniture. He was looking for something to replace his portable toilet.

Big Top: It's redecorating time at Casa Big Top. Right now, I've got a portable toilet.
Big Top: But I'm looking for something to replace it that's around the same size.

Re-Tail didn’t have anything good, and the Emporium was already closed for the night. But when I went to the campground, I found the perfect thing for Big Top to use as a toilet: a stack of tires!

Harvey: Ah! So you're interested in my tire stack...

I took it back to Big Top, and he loved it! He then gave me a harp, no strings attached.

Big Top: Oh! A tire stack! This is perfect!

When I walked into Boots’ house, I was surprised to find Lolly there too. They had that deer-in-headlights look. Did I interrupt something?

Lolly and Boots look at Jeff awkwardly as he enters the room.

Lolly told me she was making a painting of an microwave, but she didn’t know what one looked like. Yeah, that sounds really believable…

Lolly: I'm not really sure what a microwave looks like. I'm painting without a reference.

She offered me a four-ball tee for my microwave, and I agreed to the trade.

Claudia asked me to catch an eel for her, so I did. Eels are common enough, and easy to spot in the river, after all. When I took it over to her, she rewarded me with a pastel-dot rug.

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I did a little dance by the campfire.
