Island Party & Molly’s Pic

Today I StreetPassed someone who had this Zelda room in their house:

The Zelda themed room of someone I StreetPassed.I got a letter in the mail from the Happy Homes Academy. They told me my house score topped 90,000 HHA points, so I got this silver HHA trophy. I put it in my trophy room at the museum.

The silver HHA trophy from the Happy Homes Academy.Boomer was camping at the campsite, so I went in to say hello. He seems pretty cool, but I didn’t ask him to move in. I want to keep an open spot in case an animal I really want shows up. Someone like Agent S, Bob, or Lolly for example.

Boomer: I'm here camping in town, so you'll be seeing me around for a bit!At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Joey, Patty, and Wendy came over to visit. We went up to T&T Emporium. Patty bought a banana split hat and Wendy bought the witch outfit.

Patty, Wendy, and Jeff up in GracieGrace at the Emporium.I bought this spooky wall lamp, which I apparently didn’t notice when I shopped earlier in the day.

Timmy: Ah, a spooky wall lamp! A fine item, yes?After we were done shopping, we hung out in my house for a while.

Wendy the witch and Jeff the mummy.That included a fairly lengthy stay in my golden basement.

Hanging out in my golden basement.I joked that they could take a photo with a mummy for five dollars.

Jeff the mummy: PIC W/MUMMY $5And then we stood around doing emotions for questionable reasons.

Jeff, Wendy, and Joey using the curiosity (question mark) emotion.I let Joey and Patty catalog a couple items each and we headed to the island. We did the giant dragonfly tour, which is a good one for scoring lots of medals. I like how we’re all in costume in this picture. There’s a princess, a mummy, a diver, and a witch.

A witch, mummy, diver, and princess celebrate a successful island tour.We got 20 medals for catching 20 dragonflies in seven minutes, plus bonus medals. I got second place, so I got 7 bonus medals. That’s a total of 27 medals in seven minutes. Joey earned a total of 35 medals in that span!

Tortimer: Joey gets 15 medals, Jeff gets 7 medals.We then caught fish and bugs for a while. I wanted to save the game, so I chose an easy item-matching tour for us. After that, Patty was about ready to leave, so we returned to the mainland. I sold my catches for about 50,000 bells, and Patty left at 11:30.

I went into Molly’s house and talked to her; she asked me for some furniture. I had a stripe table in my pockets that I had customized the other day. I gave it to her, and she gave me her picture (Molly’s pic)!

Molly: Here's my Molly's pic! Thank you so much for helping me!After just receiving Benedict’s picture yesterday, I feel quite lucky to also get Molly’s pic today! I put it in my house next to Benedict’s.

Benedict's pic and Molly's pic on my table.The quote on the back of Molly’s pic is “Like water off a duck’s back.” It’s easy to see why this is her favorite quote.

Quote on Molly's pic: Like water off a duck's back.While I was in there, I decided to clean that room up a bit. I had too many items sticking out and crammed into corners. So I put a few items in storage and rearranged some of the remaining furniture. I still need to replace my fireworks table with a spooky table as soon as I see one at the store. But my main room is looking a lot nicer now.

My spooky room after straightening it up a bit.After Joey came to see it, I ended the party for the night. I had a very good time tonight. 🙂

Benedict’s Pic

Late last night, Wendy let me visit her town so that I could get petition signatures for Benedict. While I was there, Kabuki informed me that even though Wendy is the mayor, he is the one in charge.

Kabuki: Wendy might seem like an outstanding mayor, but I'm the one really pulling the strings!But I was able to get all the signatures I needed. Mitzi, Rory, Mira, Pango, Colton, and Kabuki all showed their support for the “More Crayons per Box” cause.

Signatures for the More Crayons per Box petition: Mitzi, Rory, Mira, Pango, Colton, Kabuki.I then returned to Forest to get the petition back to Benedict. I was hoping for his picture, of course. But he gave me a polka-dot dresser instead.

Benedict: It's a polka-dot dresser! I hope you like it! Until next time, J-bot!Naturally, I was disappointed. I went outside and talked to Tabby. She asked me to make a delivery to Benedict. So once again, I went back to the red rooster.

Benedict: Oh, I think I know what this is. It's that thing I lent to Tabby, huh?And this time, he gave me his picture! Now I got Benedict’s pic!

Benedict: It's Benedict's pic!He is the second of my villagers to give me their pic. I put it in my house. Excuse the mess…

Benedict's pic and Tabby's pic on the table in my messy house.Benedict’s pic had his favorite quote on the back: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

Quote on Benedict's pic: Don't put all your eggs into one basket.Then today, I got a letter in the mail from Tabby. I’m pretty sure she’s asking me out on a date!

Hey! Jeff! Wanna dress up fancy and go out somewhere with me? Let me know! -TabbyI didn’t write her back, but I yelled “NO!” loud enough that even people in other towns could hear me.

When I went to visit Rolf, he was talking about bonsai.

Rolf: The more I learn about bonsai, the more I view it in a whole new way. There's a lot to it!Katrina was in town for the first time in quite a while, so I had her read my fortune. She told me that long-sleeved shirts were the key to avoiding health disasters. But I was already wearing one, so I was safe for today.

Katrina: From this place, I can see the signs. Oh yes, I can... I see disaster upon your health...Luna told me that Jaycee from Icarus was my most recent dream visitor. Hi Jaycee!

As I was finishing up for the day, Aurora suggested a new public works project: a drinking fountain.

Aurora: Oh, Mr. Mayor, I have a request! Would you consider commissioning a drinking fountain here?This is what it looks like:

Drinking fountain PWP: 39,800 bells.

Amazing Painting Luck

Today, Big Top suggested a new public works project: a camping cot.

Big Top: A camping cot! If you agreed to it, we could get one right here! Dumbo!This is what it looks like:

Camping cot PWP: 32,000 bells.Teddy was feeling better today, as I saw him going for a walk. He thanked me for the medicine I gave him the past three days and he rewarded me with a planter.

Teddy: Thanks for visiting me while I was under the weather, master!I got my amazing painting in the mail from Crazy Redd…and my lucky streak continues! It was a real painting once again! I donated it to the museum.

Description of amazing painting: A painting of a city militia that was found, after restoration of the work, to take place in the daylight.I’ve been incredibly lucky with paintings lately, but I know that won’t last forever. It’ll still take me years to finish the art section of the museum, just watch.

At the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Ashlee from Acrewood was my most recent dream visitor. Hi Ashlee!

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Ashlee from Acrewood enjoyed your dream.And at T&T Emporium, Kidd asked a very good question: Where is the restroom? I told him that since the town is full of animals, we’re just supposed to go outside. Preferably behind Tabby’s house. At least that’s what I do.

Kidd: Do you know what floor the boys' restroom is on? ...Actually, does this town even have restrooms?And it’s been a while since I’ve given an update on my badges. They say a picture says a thousand words, so here is my current badge collection:
