Saving 20 Million Bells

This morning, Reese was paying 341 bells each for turnips!

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 341 bells.I sold all of my turnips and scored a cool 1,159,400 bells! I don’t know if I’ve ever had this many bells in my pockets at once!

1,299,311 bells in my pockets.When I put the money into my bank account, my balance topped 20 million bells for the first time.

Your current balance is 20,080,000 bells.Saharah was in town today, and she put a kitchen wall and a bath tile in my house. You can also see the sitar that Gulliver sent me from India.

A kitchen wall and bath tile floor.I held a giveaway for a witch outfit and Zoe from BellView was the winner. I dropped the prize off at her town.

Dropping by Zoe's town.There was a new camper at the campsite, and it was Mira the bunny! She is the only “uchi” (big sister) villager that I actually like, and the “uchis” suggest some good public works projects, including the geyser I’ve been wanting. I haven’t had an uchi in my town since Tammy moved out seven months ago today. But of course, my town is full, so I couldn’t ask Mira to move in. Bummer.

Mira: I'm Mira! And you're... Jeff? Nice to meet you!But I did get some better news in the mail. The post office sent me this letter for saving 20 million bells:

Dear Jeff, Thank you for entrusting over 20,000,000 bells to us. We'd like to present you with this special gift! -Forest Post OfficeThey sent me this safe. Hmm, I bet I could fit a koala in there!

The safe I received from the post office.I finished up my day by updating my dream town at the Dream Suite. While I was there, Luna told me that Mark from Erehwon was my most recent dream visitor.

Friday Night Forest returns tomorrow night! I’ll be opening my gate at 10 p.m. Eastern time…and the blog entry is likely to be up late. But I’ll see you then!

Tonight, Big Top asked me for some furniture that could be placed on something else. I try to carry a few extra pieces of furniture with me for villager requests (often customized items when possible), but none of the ones I had with me could be placed on something else. So I caught a sweetfish for him and gave him that. He liked it better than I expected, because he gave me his villager picture in exchange.

Big Top: It's Big Top's pic! Thank you, cool guy!Octavian offered to sell me a neutral painting for 3,136 bells, and I took the offer. The painting turned out to be real, but I already had one in my museum.

Octavian: Before I knew it, I had spent a ton of money on this crazy-looking neutral painting...When I went to visit Kidd, he asked about the space shuttle in my pockets. He offered me 834 bells for it, and I accepted the offer.

Kidd: I'm not sure why I want your space shuttle so much. Maybe I just like all this drama.Agent S told me she wanted to move out of town on September 15th, but of course I made her stay.

Agent S: I mean, how can a cute gal like me stay cooped up in one place for long, nutella?Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Mayounna from the town of Amy Rose was my most recent dream visitor.

I had a quick giveaway for my neutral painting, and Emily was the winner. So I went to her town Narnia to drop it off.

Visiting Emily's town of Narnia.Later on, Wendy came over to collect petition signatures (and to shop, of course).

Alli: Argh, these crowds! You know, I do love shopping, Jeff, but the lines and the competition get to me.Once she was done, I went to her town Pawnee to sell some perfect peaches. She also showed me her outdoor torch.

Wendy's tiki torch PWP.I also visited Daisy the dog. She asked me what I’ve seen so far. It looks like she’s seen the moon! Why do you need a telescope when the moon is this close?

Daisy: There's a lot to see and do here in Pawnee, Jeff. What have you seen so far?Daisy is perhaps my favorite of Wendy’s villagers.

Jeff: She likes it ruff.After Wendy ended the session, I found Gulliver down on the beach. He’s on his way to India, so he will be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: ...Are you trying to curry favor with me? Well, you have! India! That's the right answer!

Autumn Moon 2014

The autumn moon (harvest moon) was tonight, so Isabelle was standing at the event plaza all day to hand out wheat bundles. I guess Drago wasn’t interested.

Isabelle: To celebrate the Autumn Moon tonight, I prepared wheat bundles for everyone. Would you like one?There was also a face-cutout standee for the occasion. Look at me, I’m a scarecrow!

If I only had a brain…

Big Top was telling me to make sure to check out the moon tonight.

Big Top: I hope you're planning on checking out the moon tonight. It's gonna be especially amazing, lil top!I went home to take a look at the wheat bundle. It’s kind of a boring item, even if it is high in fiber.

The wheat bundle item.When I went back outside, Big Top smelled my men’s toilet!

Big Top: I smell a men's toilet. It's yours, isn't it?He offered me a cavalier shirt for it, and I agreed to the trade.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Casey from Axion was my most recent dream visitor. I put the game away for several hours, but I returned once night fell. I made sure to take a look at the harvest autumn moon.

The full autumn moon.Wendy came over briefly to sell some pears and shop at the Emporium.

Me and Wendy in the Emporium.And cute little Molly was telling me that one of favorite books was one that teaches her how to smirk!

Molly: On a day like today, it's hard not to think of one of my favorite books: Learn How to Smirk in 3 Days.Once Wendy was done shopping, I ended the session. Thanks for stopping by, everyone! 🙂
