Month: August 2023

On Sunday night, I started up the game to attend the fireworks festival. It was the final fireworks show of the year, and I generally try to make it to at least one show every year.

At the event plaza, Isabelle gave me a bulb bopper to wear for the occasion. But I didn’t buy any of Redd’s cookies.

I stopped at a few spots around town to take in the fireworks. 🙂

Moments later, Rolf seemingly fell in love with the eel in my pocket.

He offered me all the money he had, which was 3,600 bells. Nice deal! Especially since I caught another eel right after this exchange anyway.

Tonight, Boots asked me for a new catchphrase. So I told him to say “in a swamp.”

Cherry told me she wanted to have turf wars in another town, and it took me a minute to decide whether or not to let her leave. I did earn her photo last month, and she has lived in town for 14 months…but I still couldn’t let her go just yet. A one-year, two-month stay actually seems short for New Leaf, considering most of my villagers have been around for many years. So I told Cherry to stay, for now at least. I’m not sure what I’ll say next time she asks, though.

On July 29th, Mathilda the black kangaroo was camping at the campsite.

Inkwell told me he was considering changing his Splatoon weapon (his Splattershot)! 😆

I gave him a fish on a board, though I’m not sure how that would work as a weapon. 😛 But he liked it, and he gave me a storefront in return.

August 7th was Boots’s birthday, and I gave him an alpine chair for a present. He said it was the best present he’s ever received…in the past few seconds. Oof.

I had another kangaroo camper that day, Walt.

After depositing some money, my savings account balance reached 126 million bells.

Last Tuesday, Rolf said it was time to dig up his time capsule. So I unearthed it, and we found a candy gingham tee inside. Rolf said he must’ve just picked up an item that was lying around the house and threw it inside. 😆

He then gave me that shirt as my reward for digging up the time capsule. Oh joy. 😛

Last Thursday, Cube was fishing off the cliff. That’s something I don’t see very often.

Today, Jeremiah was looking for an item to replace his emperor butterfly. I first bought a watermelon from Harv, but Jeremiah wouldn’t accept it because it couldn’t be placed on something else. So I went to the Nooklings’ shop and bought a chocolate fountain. He loved it!

In fact, he liked it so much that he gave me his photo!

Finally! I took it home and put it on display. 🙂

His favorite quote (on the back) is “Sleep before you leap.” It took me 13 months to earn his pic, but I’m still trying to get Inkwell’s and Cube’s photos. Cube has lived in Forest for two years, and Inkwell has lived here for three years. Maybe someday!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Michael from Galloway, Hunnie from Faith’In, and Mars from June. Thanks for stopping by!
