Since last time, I looked at Booker’s house to see the new second floor (from the outside). This is what it currently looks like.
The other night, Rolf noticed a cyclommatus stag in my pockets, and he offered to buy it for 9,600 bells. I quickly agreed to the deal, because that’s even better than its normal selling price of 8,000 bells.
Tonight, Boots asked me for some new furniture. You may remember he recently disposed of his green nine lamp. So this time, I gave him a green eight lamp! Green + eight? It’s gr8!
He really seemed to like it, and he gave me a modern wood shelf in return. Boots also told me that Bob was thinking about moving out of town. So I tracked down the purple cat and changed his mind for him.
Later on, I returned to visit Boots. He was actually sitting down in his house, which is something I don’t see a villager do very often. But he put his eight lamp in the same spot where he previously had the nine lamp. Eight may be less than nine, but it looks equally as good in his house.
Maybe the eight lamp was good luck, because I caught an eight-legged creature right outside of Boots’ house–a tarantula!
When I was almost done playing, I withdrew some money from the bank to give to Booker. He paid off the 298,000 bells for the second floor, and chose to make that upstairs room bigger. I need it to be 8×8 for what I have planned, so I’m not done expanding just yet.
My recent dream visitors have been Claire from Chepstow, Jess from Moonlake, Heather from Sunville, Maddie from L.A., Dan from Paloma, Bluebone from Lazurite, Wayland from Waypoint, Bella from Ordin, Kenzie from Kenton, and Niamh from Spagonia. Thanks for stopping by!
One other note: I will be opening my gate this Sunday (August 20th) for fireworks at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (which is 5 p.m. Pacific time, or 1 a.m. London time). Anyone already on my 3DS friend roster is welcome to come.
So I joined her on the bench and also looked up at the sky. And what did I see? A (nearly) full moon! Of course she likes the sky when there’s a full moon. She’s a wolf!
I played again late on Sunday night, and the first fireworks festival of the year was underway. I spoke to Isabelle over at the event plaza, and she gave me a star bopper.
But before I could turn around and speak with Crazy Redd at his stand, the clock struck twelve midnight and the fireworks show ended.
Vivian was disappointed that the fireworks ended, and she said she was still in the mood for loud noises. So she planned to go home and bang some pots together. 😛
Today (Monday) was Boots’ birthday! I made sure to attend his party, and I gave him a customized circle banner for his birthday gift. He seemed to enjoy it…even if you can’t tell from this screenshot.
Agent S also attended his party, and she said Boots must be pretty happy since he gets to spend his birthday with the coolest people in town.
Back outside, I ran into Vivian and she was making up stories about Camofrog! 😮
I noticed a new post on the bulletin board, reminding me that the fireworks festivals start soon! They’ll take place on Sunday nights in August. I may open my gate for one of them, but that will be later in the month. If you’re on my 3DS roster, stay tuned to the blog (or 
Also, now that August has arrived, the shop has started stocking some small fireworks. I bought this roman candle today.
I tried using it to burn down 
Tonight I got to see Boots’ nine lamp, and I thought it looked really good in his house. But when I spoke to Boots, he told me he was looking to replace it! Already?! How rude!
I then gave him an emperor butterfly, and he told me he was going to turn it into the strongest emperor butterfly the world has ever seen! He then rewarded me with a classic sofa.
Even though the nine lamp was still there, it was gone when I left his house and re-entered. What a shame.
