Month: August 2016

The fireworks festival takes place each Sunday night in August. That makes tonight the final one of the year, even though it’s the first (and only) one I attended this summer. Tortimer told me he hopes I’ll always remember this summer. I will, but not for the fireworks festival.

I then used a roman candle to give Tortimer a turtle wax treatment. That has become an annual tradition for me (since Megan and I did it to Tortimer years ago). Tortimer wasn’t fond of the treatment at first, but he quickly warmed up to the idea.

Many of the outdoor animals were discussing the fireworks, including Rod. But he seemed to be confusing fireworks with shooting stars. He wanted to wish on the last rocket for muscle hugeness (his words, not mine). Yikes.

On my walk around town, I stopped at several points to look up at the clear night sky and watch the fireworks explode.

The fireworks shows are fun, but they’re also a bit sad for me. They just remind me of the days of online play. Playing during the fireworks festivals with Wi-Fi friends provided some of my most memorable moments in ACCF. The happy tune that accompanies the fireworks rings a bit hollow for me now. But it’s still an enjoyable time.

I found something quite surprising while on my walk, though: A four-leaf clover! Maybe I’ll get lucky now?

I ran one errand for Savannah tonight; it’s too hard to turn down her requests. She asked me to make a delivery (a noble shirt) to Chow. He didn’t seem to care for it, but he put it on anyway. When I returned to Savannah, she rewarded me with a red tile carpet. How exciting.

One last note: As expected, I got Aurora’s goodbye letter in the mail tonight.

If you’d like to see a video of the fireworks festival that I recorded last year, here it is.

See you all next time!

Last night, Twiggy asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. She gave me ten minutes to find her, Aurora, and Gloria. Birds of a feather hide together.

I found Gloria hiding behind a tree near Alli’s house, and Aurora was behind a tree near the museum. And with two and a half minutes to go, I circled back around to my house and I thought I saw a tweety bird!

For winning the game, Twiggy gave me a tall puffoid.

Not much else was going on last night, so I played again tonight. I was a bit surprised to find Aurora was packed up and ready to move out of town! Why didn’t she mention this yesterday?

It’s a bit sad to see her go, but at least I still have her in my New Leaf town.

Savannah asked me to make a delivery to Benedict, so I hunted down the red rooster. Birds seem to be involved in everything lately! I laughed when I saw what the gift was: a waitress shirt! Benedict wasted no time in putting it on, either! I guess he can be the waitress at KFC, assuming he still works there. 😉

There was a meteor shower in the skies over Forest tonight, so I stopped at the bridge to watch them for a bit. I was able to catch this picture of two shooting stars on-screen at once.

Static was talking about the meteor shower, and he wondered how many of the shooting stars were actually evil alien invaders. He must watch too much TV. Don’t believe what you see on TV at 3:33 in the morning!

I made sure to catch several valuable bugs tonight, including this hercules beetle.

Reminders

Remember, there’s only one week left of August! Many of these valuable bugs will be gone once September arrives, so catch them while you can!

I’ll be back Sunday with another entry as I check out the fireworks festival. See you then!

Alli was feeling a bit down tonight, so I bought some medicine for her. She still looked down as she took the medicine, but hopefully it will lift her spirits soon.

I met up with Static over by the river, and he was interested in my cardboard box. He asked me if it was brand new; I said yes. He gave me a whopping 48 bells for it. Yay, I’m rich!

On my southern peninsula, I saw Savannah across the river. I pointed my Wii remote at the TV and pressed the A button to wave to her. Hi, Savannah!

Pascal was on a bridge nearby, so I got a scallop out (it was attached to a letter) before speaking with him. He told me that when a red door opens, a green door closes. He then gave me a sea view wallpaper in exchange for the scallop.

I caught a few valuable summer bugs (including an elephant beetle and a giant beetle) before taking a bus out to the city. Not much was going on there by the time I arrived. Most shops were closed, except for Redd’s shop, and he didn’t have anything I wanted anyway. See you next time!
