Savannah’s Photo

On Monday, I was out on Lottie’s island and I stopped to take some photos. I particularly liked this one with the moon shining through the arch at the top of the hill.

After shipping more Forest goods at the dock, Kapp’n gave me some bonus hotel tickets. They kicked my current balance up to exactly 50,000!

Reaching exactly 50,000 hotel tickets.

Today, Savannah asked to visit my house. She apparently hasn’t visited yet, so I felt like I should agree to let her come over.

Savannah: I think this'll be my first time seeing your place!

Once we got there, she almost immediately gave me a gift. And what a gift it was!

Savannah: Savannah's photo.

It was her photo! Wow! It seemed so soon to earn her photo, but I’ll take it! I guess I earned my stripes quickly! 😉 The only down side is that I had to sit through the rest of the 15-minute visit to wait it out. (I hate visits so much in this game.) Once she finally left, I put her photo on display. Her favorite quote on the back is “Keep your chin up!”

Thank you so much, Savannah!

The plaza was looking really busy tonight. It’s rare seeing this many people here when it’s not an event night! There were five villagers, two tourists, one special character (Flick), and me.

A crowded plaza!

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, I delivered a gift from Static to Savannah. She rewarded me with a school uniform with ribbon.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr Monday, and he sent me a pirate outfit in the mail.
  • On Tuesday, I caught my first banded dragonfly of the season. I also caught three great purple emperors.
  • Tonight, I sold 29 bugs to Flick for 140k. I hope he has plenty of bells, because there will be more bugs to come this summer! 🙂

Kid Cat’s Photo

I encountered Pascal while diving on Monday. He gave me two pearls for the scallop I caught, and he also told me about “traffic jelly.”

Pascal: No one likes a traffic jam. But traffic jelly? Slap some peanut butter on it and it's aaaall good.
With traffic jelly, all drivers’ sanity is preserved.

On Thursday, Peanut sent me a bingo wheel in the mail. I wrapped it up and took it over to June’s house for her birthday party! She said she would treasure the gift. I hope so!

June, at her birthday party: Oh, this is so sweet! You got me a bingo wheel! I will treasure this, in spring.

Static was also at the party, and he commented on how happy June looked. He was right about that!

Static, at June's birthday party: Look at that. You see it, right? Just look at that big ol' grin on June's face!

Yesterday, June sent me a letter thanking me for the gift. She attached another copy of her photo! Thank you, June! 🙂

Clay the hamster was camping up at the campsite. He’s certainly a unique-looking critter. It looks like he’s wearing a mask that covers his entire head except his eyes, although it’s apparently not a mask. I did not ask him to move in.

Clay, at the campsite: Hi there! Are you from this island? I'm here camping.

The Stamp Rally is underway, and I decided to collect the stamps in the aquarium today. I spotted June hanging out near “The Deep,” so I chatted with her and then stamped my card.

I also found the other two stamps in the fish section and then returned to Blathers. He also stamped my card, and then he gave me a fish plaque. When I went back outside, I ran into Kid Cat. I gave him the fish plaque, and in return, he gave me his photo!

Kid Cat: Gotta give as much as you take! Please take Kid Cat's photo!

I took it home and put it on display. His favorite quote on the back is “Crime doesn’t pay!”

Thank you, Kid Cat!

Here are a few other quick notes about this week in Forest:

  • On Tuesday, I sold 16 bugs to Flick for 81,750 bells. These Flick visits are about to get more profitable now that we’re getting into rare bug season soon!
  • I helped out Gulliver on Wednesday, and he sent me a South Pole in the mail.
  • Tonight, I told K.K. Slider I was feeling blue and he performed “K.K. Ballad” for me.

Tube-Shaped World

On Monday, Pascal was talking about the world being tube-shaped…as if we’re all ants on a roll of paper towels!

Pascal: Ever feel like it's a tube-shaped world...and we're just ants crawling around on a roll of paper towels?

He gave me a mermaid fishy dress and a pearl for my scallop.

The next day, Static was singing in the plaza. I took a seat on the ground in between Savannah and Merengue to enjoy the show.

On Thursday, I found a lost item on the ground. I returned it to its owner, Static the squirrel. He said it was his “special pouch.”

Static: Whoa! You found my special pouch!
I think that’s where he keeps his nuts.

He thanked me for returning it, and he gave me a cycling cap.

Baabara, the fluffy demon herself (from my GameCube town) was camping at the campsite. Naturally, I had no interest in asking her to move in.

Baabara: I wasn't sure what I thought at first, but I tell you...I've really grown to like this place, daahling.

Tonight, I headed over to the plaza for the Saturday night concert. I asked for a random song, and K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Moody” for me, Kid Cat, Agent S, and Louie.

Here are a few other quick notes about this past week:

  • Last Sunday, I returned a lost book to Savannah. She thanked me with a tee-parka combo.
  • On Monday, I gave medicine to Savannah when she was sick. She gave me a worker’s jacket.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr on Wednesday, and he sent me a sea captain’s coat.

See you next time!
