Celebration Hat

Last night, Wendy let me stop over at her town to sell some perfect peaches. I sold 12 baskets of them and earned 324,000 bells.

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 324,000 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?Her town is coming together nicely. She has flowers lining most of her paths already, and she has bushes outside of her house.

Wendy's house.She was in the process of building the cafe, and I went over to talk to Lloid. But when I did, I found that I was talking to Daisy instead! She was hidden behind the tree (until I pressed the talk button, of course), so I was quite surprised!

Daisy: So, how can I help you?Wendy needed signatures for a petition, so we headed over to Forest for a while. As she went around asking my villagers to sign away their souls the petition, I went looking for some furniture for Big Top. I saw a lovely moth outside of Re-Tail, so I caught that and gave it to him.

Big Top: Nice! Thanks for this moth!He told me he would treat it well, and he gave me a green bed in return.

Big Top: I'll treat the moth as if it were you, ham, and raise it well!After Wendy was done, I ended the party for the night. Then today, I got Frank’s goodbye letter in the mail. He did not attach his picture to the letter, since I really didn’t have enough time to befriend him.

Frank's goodbye letter.I opened my gate briefly, and Patty stopped by to say hello.

Patty drops by for a visit.I deposited my money from the peaches last night, and my bank account balance topped 16 million bells.

I was falling on my face today, and I think even Katt was laughing at me!

Face-planting on Main Street.So I went into Katrina’s shop to see what she can do to improve my luck. She told me I needed a long-sleeve shirt. But she said it was no problem if I didn’t have one, because she would sell me a special charm for 10,000 bells that would give me good fortune.

Katrina: And as it happens, the stars have declared that you, yes, you... are worthy of owning such a thing.I handed over the bells for the charm, and she gave me a celebration hat.

Katrina: As long as you wear this special celebration hat, all luck will flow the way you wish. I think...It didn’t exactly look good on me, but it kept me from falling.

Wearing the celebration hat.Wendy came over again tonight to sell some pears. Of course she had to bad-mouth my hat, saying it looked like a red pie on my head.

Wendy sells pears as I stand nearby in my celebration hat.I took the hat off, but Wendy put her blue Pikmin hat on.

Jeff: Pikwen.After doing a little glitching, I ended the party for the night.

Frank’s Goodbye

This morning, I only had about five minutes to track down Joan and buy my turnips for the week. And wouldn’t you know, Agent S wanted me to play hide-and-seek with her! Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Agent S: Really? But it would have been so much fun! Well, that's OK. Another time maybe, nut job.But I did find Joan, and at 11:58 a.m., I bought 1,100 turnips from her for 102 bells apiece.

Joan: So, 1,100 turnips comes out to be... 112,200 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?And today was Frank’s last day in town, so I went to say goodbye to him.

Frank: Promise me you'll feel a little lonely after I'm gone, all right?! I mean, why else would I move? GAHAHA!I kind of feel bad for letting him move out so soon; I don’t even feel like I got to know him very well. But I wanted to get back down to nine villagers. It’s all Dotty’s fault, really.

A bit later on, Emzer from Arcturus came over to adopt Frank.

Emzer from Arcturus has just arrived in Forest.After she spoke with him, Frank confirmed that he’s moving to her town. Best of luck in your new town, pal! And Emzer, feel free to post a comment from time to time to let me know how he’s doing! 🙂

Frank: I'm moving myself to Arcturus!After that, I ended the session and put the game away for a while. When I returned later, I saw a big fish shadow in the river. I caught myself a nice arapaima, which sells for a cool 10,000 bells.

Catching an arapaima.While I was at town hall, I saw something I don’t think I’ve noticed before: a tiny clock above the door. It was about 6:20 when I took this picture.

The clock on my modern town hall.And up at the Dream Suite, I updated my dream town. Luna told me Corynne from Ammear was my most recent dream visitor.

A Night on Main Street

When I went to see Rolf tonight, I saw that Kidd was also visiting him.

Me and Kidd visiting Rolf.Near the town tree, I found a lost item.

A lost item on the ground at the event plaza.But I didn’t have much trouble reuniting it with its owner. It belonged to the first villager I asked about it, which was Agent S. I found her near Re-Tail.

Agent S: What?! Where'd you find this? I thought I'd never see my favorite pouch ever again!She thanked me and gave me a fern tee. I continued on to Main Street, including a stop at the Dream Suite. Luna informed me that Livvy from the town of Fluffy was my most recent dream visitor.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named livvy from fluffy enjoyed your dream.And next door at Club LOL, K.K. performed Rockin’ K.K. for me.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called Rockin' K.K.After the song was over, I went over to the Emporium. I was in GracieGrace up on the third floor when the clock struck midnight. It was business as usual; Gracie made no attempt to kick me out. But the instant I went down to the second floor, Timmy was there to throw me out of the store.

Timmy: I'm afraid it's past closing time for the store today...What about Allie? How come she wasn’t kicked out at 12:00? You’re discriminating against humans! I’m going to hire an investi-gator!

I’ll be back with another update tomorrow. Frank should be moving out, so I’ll be saying my goodbyes and hopefully finding him a new home. See you next time!
