Puddle Jumping

On a rainy day this week, Lolly gave me a helpful tip. She said that if I go jumping in puddles, I should dry off later…in five years. I will definitely do that.

Hello!! If you go jumping into puddles, be sure to dry off later, in 5 years.

Tuesday (July 2nd) was Agent S’s birthday, so I made sure to attend her party.

Agent S: I'm so happy you're here just to celebrate little ol' ME! I feel like the most special gal in town!

I gave her a stripe shelf as her birthday present, and she was thankful to receive a gift. Claudia was also at the party to help Agent S celebrate.

Claudia: Nothing beats a birthday party. The gifts, the games, the cake...and the frosting. Mmmm!

The next day, I chatted with Claudia outdoors. She was spreading lies about Molly. How dare her!

Claudia: Did you know that Molly is allergic to cafe au lait? Ha! I just made that up.

Today, Boots asked me to return an item he borrowed from Lolly. I was happy to help, but Lolly thought the item smelled sweaty!

Lolly: Is it me, or does it smell kind of sweaty?

She was still happy to have it back, and she rewarded me with… a women’s recruit suit?

Lolly: It's a women's recruit suit! I really hope you like it.
Uh, thanks.

At Club LOL, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He played To The Edge for me, Hippeux, and Daisy. I think Daisy might have a crush on K.K.

After that, I returned home to play Desert Island Escape on my Wii U console. I tried using Lolly, Vivian, and Aurora…but it didn’t end up well. I ran out of food, and I think they all D.I.E.d.

Escape failed...

My recent dream visitors have been Princess from Disney, Rosali from Lunari, Emi from Merida, and Teddy from Rain. Thanks for stopping by!

Balancing Rewards

Saharah was in town yesterday, and Claudia was telling me to look for her to get some new carpet and wallpaper. However, Claudia spelled Saharah’s name wrong! She left off the “h” at the end!

Claudia: If you've been wanting to jazz up your place a little, you should visit Sahara [sic] while she's in town.

Boots asked me for some perfect fruit tonight, so I picked a perfect peach for him. He loved it!

Boots: Yummahumma!

But the reward he gave me wasn’t quite as exciting. It was a wooden box.

Boots: Thanks for finding the fruit for me! I'd like you to have a reward--my wooden box.
You shouldn’t have.

My town has a lot of stray, extra flowers that I don’t really need. So I started cleaning them up a little. But since Re-Tail was already closed for the night, I just used my shovel.

A bunch of holes left where I dug up some flowers in my Animal Crossing: New Leaf town.

Vivian asked me for some new furniture, and I knew just what to give her…the wooden box from Boots. She actually loved it!

Vivian: It's the perfect touch, Mr. J!

In return, she gave me the item that the box replaced in her house: an archaeopteryx! A fossil for a wooden box? That’s a good deal! I guess the rewards balanced out in the end, after all.

My recent dream visitors have been Ethan from Coffee, Shy Guy from Celestia, Chloe from Auroura, and Grant from Kentucky. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Summer Solstice 2019

Lolly told me that she found someone’s diary recently, and the entries were all like this:

Lolly: It said: Day one: Played a lot. Day two: Played a lot today too. Day three: ...Sure played a lot.

Yesterday, Big Top told me that he was looking for some new furniture to replace his coelacanth.

Big Top: It's redecorating time at Casa Big Top. Right now, I've got a coelacanth.

I was hoping that if I gave him some furniture to replace it, he would give me the coelacanth. Re-Tail didn’t have any furniture that was the right size though, and the Emporium only had one: a flat-screen TV that cost 4,800 bells. I bought it for Big Top, and he loved it. But when he went to give me my reward, he only handed over a birdbath. Oof.

Big Top: It's a birdbath! Thank you, skippy!

Today was the summer solstice, the official start of summer in the northern hemisphere. In the game, it means that the sun stays out all night. I chatted with Isabelle at the event plaza, and she gave me some ladder shades.

Isabelle: Hello, Mayor! Today is the Summer Solstice, so don't expect to see the moon at all tonight!

I put the sunglasses on for the day, although I probably won’t keep them much beyond today.

Jeff tries on the ladder shades in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

It’s always weird to see nighttime bugs out in broad daylight, like fireflies and emperor butterflies.

I caught an emperor butterfly! Feeling blue, Your Majesty?

Lolly wanted me to collect some signatures for a petition: More Rainy Days in 2019. Are you crazy? It’s already been one of the rainiest years I can remember! No way!

Lolly: My latest mission is collecting signatures for my petition, More Rainy Days in 2019.

I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground, so I went around asking my neighbors about it. I eventually found out that it belonged to Molly. She said there was an important recipe inside, and she thanked me for returning it by giving me her cherry.

Molly: In terms of a reward, this is all I have on me right now. I hope you like my cherry!

My recent dream visitors have been Vero from Cascada, Piper from Canoli, Lulu from Oaktree, and Maddie from Solstice (how appropriate). Have a great day and I’ll see you next time!
