December Begins

December began with my monthly letter from the post office bank, announcing that I’ve earned 99,999 bells in interest. That helped my balance top the 56 million bell mark.

20151202_HNI_0056The arrival of December also meant that glow wands are now available at the Nooklings’ shop. They do look cool, even if they are basically useless. Jingle furniture can also be purchased now.

Velma asked me for some fruit the other night, and I gave her a perfect peach. She loved it so much that she gave me her stool. Goat stool is not exactly something I want to carry around in my pockets.

20151204_HNI_008120151204_HNI_0082My recent dream visitors have been Zave from Xeon (Wednesday), Link from Dead (yesterday), and Daniel from Westword (today). Thank you all for visiting. I realize my dream address isn’t in the side bar of this new blog, but if you’d like to visit, go to the Dream Suite and go to address 4300-2003-9889.

Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be back with more next week. Have a good weekend, everyone!

I’m Not a Jewel Thief

The other day, Aurora asked me for some perfect fruit; she had a really interesting way of describing it.

Aurora: It's supposed to be so sweet and juicy that your tongue does flips of joy!I recently StreetPassed Daneel from Trantor, and he had this cool Haunted Mansion room in his house.

A Haunted Mansion themed house I StreetPassed.The elephants of Forest seem to keep forgetting that they’re not allowed to leave. Yesterday, Dizzy told me he was going to move out on December 1st, and today, Big Top told me he was leaving on December 4th. Once again, I told them both no.

Big Top: I've decided to move to a new town on the 4th of next month!I had a gem rock today, but as I was banging it, Agent S came over and interrupted me! So I only got four gems out of it! Agent S, you just cost me nearly 32,000 bells! Maybe she thought I was a jewel thief?

Agent S: Shhh...I'm a spy! Hello, hello, up a tree!Vesta the sheep was at the campsite, so I went in to say hello. It’s getting cold outside, so why don’t you put on some clothes? Maybe a vest or something.

Vesta: Hello. Are you from here? I fell in love with this town.Over at the event plaza, a silver slingshot (on two balloons) flew past the bare town tree. Despite what it may look like, it did not get caught in the tree. That only happens to balloon presents in the GameCube game (and also on N64 if you happen to live in Japan).

Harvest Festival 2015

Yesterday, I messed up Don’s coffee at the Roost, and he threatened me! He said he should bring his little brother there so they can rough up the joint! Wow, and I thought Don was the nice one. Apparently it’s a family of hotheads that can’t control their temper. Now that I see what a jerk he is, I’m glad I made his coffee wrong!

Don: I should bring my little brother here so we can rough up the joint...I found Molly taking a nap on the town’s metal bench.

Sitting with Molly on the bench.And today was Thanksgiving, which is known as the harvest festival in the game. I met up with Franklin at the event plaza and he started asking me for ingredients for the big holiday meal.

The big hubbub today is about celebrating the fall bounty. It's the Harvest Festival!I began asking my villagers for the ingredients, although they’ll only help you if you have a certain ingredient for them. That means a lot of fishing will be required, unless you thought to stock up on fish ahead of time.

Molly: You'll trade with me? Thank you! Here. I can give you my beehive.I took the time to get the ingredients right, including the secret ingredients as I helped Franklin make fruit salad, a mushroom bisque, and sauteed sea bass.

Cooking with Franklin.The last dish was a mixed-fruit pie. One of my villagers told me a beehive (honey) was the secret ingredient for fruit pie. But when I gave Franklin everything, he said the secret ingredient was wrong! No way! I spent a lot of time making sure I was right! Ughhh!

Franklin: I have a feeling there's a better secret ingredient out there...So I made sure to get one last ingredient very right. Sorry to be a pain in the neck, Franklin, but it’s time for dinner.

About to use my axe on Franklin.My recent dream visitors have been Amelia from Crescent (Tuesday), Jack from Cheshire (yesterday), and Emily from Hell (today).

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and/or harvest festival!
