Forest Turns 13

May 2nd was my town anniversary, marking 13 years since I first moved into Forest. Isabelle dragged me to the event plaza for a celebration. Mabel, Boots, and Rolf also joined us for the ceremony.

Isabelle: Ahem... Mayor Jeff, fellow citizens... Thank you all for gathering here today!

She also gave me a sapling clock. Forest is now a teenager!

I still can't believe it--13 years since your inauguration... What a ride it's been!

Once I returned to my house, I checked my mail and found a Merlion from Gulliver.

Today, Rolf asked me for a piece of fruit. I gave him a perfect peach, and he loved it. He rewarded me with a lucky cat, which I later put in my house.

Rolf: A lucky cat will have to serve as a sign of my gratitude! Go ahead! Free for you!

Hornsby asked me to catch a river fish for him, and I went out and found a pale chub. When I took it back to Hornsby, he gave me a men’s toilet for it.

Hornsby: It's a men's toilet!

Saharah was in town, and I paid her 3,000 bells to install some new wallpaper and flooring. She put in a chic wall and cowhide rug. Probably not the best combination.

Saharah: I tell this to the Nook man. He ask me to leave.

Down on the beach, I found a lost item (a bag).

I asked Inkwell about it, and he said it was his. He thanked me for returning it, and he gave me a medicine chest.

Inkwell: Take my medicine chest. A little thank-you from me to you.

After I was done making my rounds, I went up to Main Street and relaxed on a bench overlooking the sea.

Yesterday, I posted my annual slideshow of my best screenshots over the past year. Here is New Leaf – The 13th Year in Pictures:
