Jeremiah’s Jug

Today, I found a lost mitten on the ground right outside of Re-Tail.

I picked up a lost item!

It didn’t take me long to track down its owner, Mira. She said she has been off-balance without it. 😆

Mira: Man! I was so off balance with just the one mitten!
Why do you need mittens in summer?

To thank me for returning it, she gave me a dogtooth tee.

When I ran into Jeremiah, he thought I was checking out his milk can!

Jeremiah: J bear! You're totally eyeing my milk can! Don't deny it!
I wasn’t checking out your milk jug. I’m JVGS Jeff, not Jugs Jeff! 😛

He said he would sell it to me for 784 bells. I agreed to the exchange just to be nice (or maybe I was thirsty at the time, who knows).

Over by the cliff, I saw a balloon present flying low. Low enough that I could hit it with my net, so that’s what I did.

Smacking a balloon with my net.

It popped the balloon, but unfortunately, the present fell onto my private beach down below.

So I had to find my wet suit, put it on, and swim over there just to pick up the gift. Inside, I found a balloon-dog lamp. All that work just for a piece of balloon furniture? Oof. 😛

The first fireworks festival of the year is coming up on Sunday night, and Hornsby was already looking forward to it. He said he’s going to take lots of naps before then so he’ll be able to stay up and enjoy the fireworks.

Hornsby: It's almost the start of fireworks season, I ate it!

When I returned home, I was going to put money in my ABD, but I was in the wrong room. So instead, I accidentally interacted with my lovely phone. It told me that my financial luck may be at its peak, and my lucky item is Makar’s Mask.

Your financial luck may be at its peak! To the left of the front door is a good place for a gold luck cat!
The item that will bring you luck today is... Makar's Mask!

Maybe I should put on the mask and walk into a bank, I’m sure that will go over well. 😛

Are you all looking forward to the fireworks festivals this year? We get five of them again this year! I’ll be back with another entry in August. Never Stop Crossing!

July Favors

Last Thursday, I hired Saharah to redecorate my house. She installed a western vista and some ranch flooring. They’re actually not bad, but I didn’t keep them.

Yesterday, Hornsby asked me to return something that Inkwell left at his house. However, Inkwell didn’t seem to remember losing anything.

Inkwell: It's something I lost? Did...did I lose something?
Just your memory, apparently.

It was his kitchen scale, and he thanked me for returning it. Surprisingly, he rewarded me with his photo again!

Inkwell: It's Inkwell's pic. I really hope it's not something you already have!
He doesn’t remember giving me his photo before either. 😛

I put it in the museum in my trophy room, where I keep a bunch of duplicate villager photos.

Mira, rather bluntly, asked me for a pear.

Mira: Get me a pear!

I went out and got a pear for her, and she loved it. To thank me, she gave me a…fireplace?

Mira: Heh heh... This is from my secret fireplace stash! It's all yours! You really helped me out!

I suppose it really is a hearth-felt thank you. 😉 It really warmed my heart. 😛

My villagers were really in the mood for asking for favors, apparently. Aurora asked me to catch a tadpole for her, so I did.

I caught a tadpole... I'm sure it will grow on me. 1.70 in.

I gave it to her, and that made her aquatic dreams come true. She thanked me by giving me a ranch wall.

Aurora: Hey! You've made my aquatic dream come true!

I spotted a really big fish shadow in the river, and I fished out an arapaima. But the surprising part is that I spotted (and caught) another one about 10-15 seconds later!

I caught an arapaima! And it looks like it's in its prime-a! 119.50 in.

I played again today, and the villager requests kept coming. Marina asked me to return something to Jeremiah, and he wanted me to guess what it was. I guessed furniture, but it was a shirt. So I got no reward at all.

Jeremiah: Well, you're not the best at playing game show, but you ARE the best at delivering stuff.

Lolly asked me for some fruit, so I went out and picked a perfect peach for her. She loved it, and she gave me a chaise lounge in return. Apparently the fiber from the peach helped her feel better… 😆

Lolly: I feel so good now, if I poop. I'm lucky to have a friend like you.
