Fireworks Party

This morning, I bought 4,100 turnips from Joan. She was charging exactly 100 bells apiece for them.

Joan: the asking price is 100 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?My newest neighbor Velma was outdoors today, fishing in the pond. She said fishing is like meditation for her.

Velma: Fishing is a form of meditation for me. So peaceful...Just after 8:00 tonight, I opened my gate for some Sunday night fireworks. BranDex and T Zelda came over to visit. TZ was dressed up as a Splatoon squid.

Watching fireworks with BranDex and TZ.Down at the event plaza, Isabelle gave me a flower bopper. I used a Roman candle on TZ. Fried squid, anyone?

Burning TZ with a roman candle.Squishy came over to visit, so I had a full house in Forest. We all bought some cookies from Crazy Redd, stopping to spit out the tickets baked inside of them. I got a Lyle prize: Bang.

Redd's Cookie. Congrats! You got a bang prize!I was able to redeem it for a boxed figurine. Before long, a line had formed for Redd’s services.

Everyone was in line for Crazy Redd's cookies.And of course, it wouldn’t be a fireworks festival without the fireworks!

Watching fireworks.Back by Crazy Redd’s stand, we were all acting surprised for some reason.

Using the surprise emotion.Squishy and I roasted some cherries.

Using fireworks on a basket of cherries.A bit later, we got disconnected. So we all lost everything we got from our cookies and winning tickets…ouch. I reopened my gate; BranDex returned, MaryAnn came over, and TZ returned. I hadn’t seen MaryAnn in a long time. And that’s not a tall tale.

Jeff turns super-sized after eating a famous mushroom.We hung out by Re-Tail for a while, and then TZ left around 9:00. Squishy then returned. When I spoke to Agent S, she told me to call her a firecracker! Better than a nutcracker.

Agent S: You can call me a firecracker, because I totally give off the same sparkling aura as a lit firework!After eating another cookie from Redd, I was quite surprised when I got a sparkle prize. Or at least I looked surprised.

Redd's Cookie. Congrats! You got a sparkle prize!Stop. Hammer Time.

Smacking each other with toy hammers.I found two tootoids just outside of the gate. Are they supposed to be Copper and Booker?

Two gyroids by the train station gate.Shortly after 9:30, BranDex said he was going to leave. I also decided to wrap things up, and I ended the session for the night. Thanks for coming BranDex, TZ, Squishy, and MaryAnn! I hope you had a good time at the Forest Fireworks Festival!

Dreaming of Lebanon

Velma’s house has now been built and the Mystery Machine was sitting right outside. I went inside to meet my newest neighbor (and crimefighter/ ghostbuster). She moved from the town of Red Hook.

Velma: Nice to meet you! I'm Velma. I just moved here from Red Hook.She was in the process of unpacking, and she told me the boxes would be gone by tomorrow. And if not, she has some consequences for herself?

Velma: And if they aren't, I've got some very serious consequences lined up for myself.Back outside, I found a lost item on the ground behind Molly’s house.

A lost item on the ground among flowers.It didn’t belong to Molly, Rolf, or Agent S. But the 4th time was the charm: It was Daisy’s bag! She thanked me for returning it (although she didn’t tell me what was inside…probably a cookie). She rewarded me by giving me a cabin armchair.

Daisy: I had something really important inside, so I'm relieved you found it, cookie.After completing my walk around town, I went up to the Dream Suite. While there, I took a dream visit to Clayton’s town of Lebanon. The current dream address is 4C00-0073-C02F. At the train station, I found…some trains!

Train patterns on the ground in the town of Lebanon.The town is currently set to winter, so there’s snow on the ground…and on the PWPs.

Snow on the ground and on the solar panel PWP.And there are PWPs just about everywhere you look. Lots of flowers, too.

A fountain and a flower clock in the town of Lebanon.Many PWPs in Lebanon: A park clock, street lamp, blue bench, and jungle gym.Many of the villagers are cats, and the town tune made me laugh: It’s the song from the Meow Mix commercials! Haha! It sounds best when sung by the cat villagers, of course.

Tangy: Hey! Who are YOU? Are you... from another town maybe?Clayton has a room in his house devoted to his many villager pictures.

A room with many villager pictures.It’s a really nice town, so give it a visit if you’d like! Again, the dream address is 4C00-0073-C02F.

Once I woke up from my dream, I updated my own dream as well. (My dream address is 4300-2003-9889 now 5D00-000F-7611). Luna also told me that JD from the town of Miller was my most recent dream visitor.

Thanks for stopping by, everyone. Tomorrow is the fireworks festival, and I’ll be opening my gate around 8pm Eastern time for people on my 3DS roster. (This replaces Friday Night Forest for August). So I’ll have another entry tomorrow night. Have a good night!

Surprise Snooty on the Way

Yesterday morning, Reese was paying 145 bells for turnips. Since the price seemed to be on the rise, I only sold about half of my turnips. In the afternoon, the price went up to 154 and then I sold the rest.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 154 bells.Saharah was in town, and I paid her to install a robo-wall and an illusion floor.

A robo-wall and an illusion floor.Today, my mom sent me this letter in the mail. She said she almost brushed her teeth with Dad’s foot cream! Gross! She attached a bathroom sink to the letter. Somehow.

Dear Jeff, Guess what I put on my toothbrush in my morning daze? I almost brushed my teeth with your dad's foot cream! -MomThere was a meteor shower up in the sky tonight, so I made sure to wish on a shooting star.

Wishing on a shooting star.To my surprise, I found a new house plot in town! No one has visited lately, so it must be from someone I StreetPassed.

Finding a new house plot in town.The new neighbor will be Velma, the snooty goat from Scooby-Doo. I’ve had her in my GameCube town before. She’s not my favorite, but the fact that she’s a snooty is a good thing because I need some of her PWP suggestions. I can’t complain about her house placement, either.

This spot reserved for Velma's new home. -Nook's HomesUp at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that J-Dude from Cheezy was my most recent dream visitor.

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. Hope to see you then!
