It’s Valentine’s Day today, and I had several letters in my mailbox related to the holiday. Isabelle sent me a chocolate cake that she made for me, Molly (my valentine again this year) sent me a chocolate heart, and my mom sent me a cacao tree. Apparently she wants me to grow my own chocolate.
Brewster also brewed up a Valentine’s Day treat for me, too. Instead of coffee, he serves hot chocolate on this day each year.
Velma asked me for some fruit tonight, and I gave her a perfect cherry. She loved it! In return, she gave me a rococo candlestick as seemingly half the town was observing the exchange as if it was a drug deal or something. Back off, guys.
Since I still had Jolly Old Saint Nicholas as my town tune (since December 15th), I decided to change it while I was still thinking about it. It’s easy to keep forgetting things like that. 😛 I changed it to the song Such Great Heights by The Postal Service. I’ve used this town tune before, but I don’t recall sharing the notes in the blog at the time. If you want to use it too, feel free! Here are the notes:
Down on the beach, my valentine was already trying to leave me! Molly said she was going to move out of town on February 17th. But of course, I told her not to go.
Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Brandon from Coolvill was my most recent dream visitor. Timber from Xing was yesterday’s visitor. Thanks to both of you for visiting, and thanks to all of you who read this blog! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
I didn’t just stand around waiting, though; I worked on my badges. I went diving in the ocean, I did some fishing, I caught a few bugs from rocks, and I bought some packs of paper and mailed away about 24 letters to Pashmina and Velma. I also caught some snowflakes here and there, enough to redeem them for two pieces of the ice set from Snowmam.
I haven’t been able to sell my ice set stuff for a while, though. Every day lately, the premium item at Re-Tail has been a random fish–it was a yellow perch today. Blah.
That was the only badge he had for me today, but I’m not complaining. I’m glad that I won’t have to write any more letters! Here is an updated picture of my current badges:
Big Top told me he was planning on moving out of town on February 14th (Valentine’s Day)! My heart couldn’t take that, so I told him he better stick around.
Pashmina told me she was getting sick of the horse mackerel she’s had in her house for a long time. So she asked me for something else to put on top of her furniture.
She gave me a dawn tank to thank me. Yeah, that’s right. A tank top. In the middle of winter. The penguin should be the one in a tank top, and I should be the one wearing the mittens!
