Last Sunday, I attended the final fireworks festival of the year. Isabelle gave me a bulb bopper, and I had the bright idea to put it on. 💡 I sat on the bench for a few moments and enjoyed the fireworks with some of my villagers.

On Monday, Willow the yellow sheep was camping at the campsite. She’s a cutie, and I already have her in my City Folk town. I didn’t invite her to move in here, but it was sure nice to see her in HD! 😆

On Tuesday, Peanut wanted to trade for my foosball table. But she didn’t want to tell me what she’d give me for it. I agreed to the blind trade, and she ended up giving me a soccer-uniform top.

Trading furniture for a shirt isn’t the best deal, but it is interesting that both items were soccer related! ⚽

Tonight, I found a lost item (a book) on the ground and I returned it to its owner, June. She thanked me and gave me a rugby uniform. What am I going to do with all these sports uniforms? 😛

At the plaza, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Blues” for me, Kid Cat, and June.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Monday, I sold 22 fish to C.J. for 307,500 bells.
• Merengue was sick with a cold on Tuesday. I gave her some medicine and she thanked me with a flashy cardigan.
• I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him on Thursday, and he gave me a rocket lamp.
• I also helped out Gullivarrr, and he sent me a pirate beard yesterday.

The next New Horizons Moments video is coming very soon, so keep an eye out!

Last Sunday night, I again attended the fireworks festival. Bones wanted to watch the fireworks with me. Aww, he’s so cute! Of course I will, Bones!

When I spoke with Isabelle, she gave me another star bopper…the same one as the week before! You know, the same one I was still wearing. 😛 Thanks anyway, Isabelle.

Yesterday, Static was telling me about some macaroons he got from his neighbor. Hmm, I wonder which neighbor it was (because they didn’t give me any)! 😛

Static told me he was going to feed the macaroons to a goat (until he tried them himself). But I can’t get over the goat thing. Why on earth would he give them a goat? Why not give some to me? And which goat would it be, anyway? Forest doesn’t have any goats!

It was a weird conversation. So I walked out, and guess what I saw right by Static’s house? A goat! It was Nan, who was in town as a tourist.

With summer on its way out, I spent nearly half an hour catching bugs tonight.

I caught several rare ones, more semi-common ones, and three sharks as well.

Here are a few other quick notes from this week:

• On Monday night, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Sonata” for me, Bones, Agent S, Peanut, and Merengue. I enjoyed the show. 🙂
• On Tuesday, I sold 17 bugs to Flick for 148,500 bells. Peak bug season only has a few days left, and I’m going to miss it.
• Tonight, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Lament” for me. Even though Peanut, Louie, and June were seated before I spoke with K.K., they all got up and left me alone.

Last Sunday, I (finally) attended my first fireworks festival of the year. Isabelle was at the event plaza, and she gave me a star bopper to wear. I then hung out there for a few minutes to enjoy the fireworks. 🎆

I also watched them a bit from the pier in front of the hotel.

On Monday, Cally the squirrel was camping at the campsite. She’s kind of cute, but I did not invite her to move in.

C.J. was also in town Monday, so I sold him 20 fish from storage for 213,000 bells. On Friday, Flick was the island visitor. I sold him 32 bugs for 248,250 bells. Those two transactions helped my savings balance reach 145 million bells.

Tonight, I started up the game after 8 p.m. However, there was no K.K. Slider show because of a Bug-Off…that had already ended. So I got neither thing. 😛

The disappointment continued when I found today’s money rock. After just three hits, a tourist (Annalisa the anteater) walked over and got in my way, starting a conversation instead of letting me continue to bang my rock. 😛 I hit her with my net a few times, but she didn’t get mad.

There’s another fireworks show tomorrow night. Enjoy the show!
