Lolly’s Wish

On Monday, Aurora sent me a cactus in the mail. But not just any cactus, it was a tall mini cactus. That’s an oxymoron! 😀

Reese: Ooh, a tall mini cactus! I can take that item off your hands for 200 bells, if that's OK?

Another day, I saw Boots in Re-Tail. I had a question for him: “Hey Boots, do you eat other animals?”

Boots: I don't think I can resist their stool. So tempting! What should I do?

Today, Hornsby told me that he loves napping on big sofas. But he has a habit of drooling all over it. Yikes.

Hornsby: Nothing beats a nap on a big sofa. Thing is, I have a habit of drooling during naps.

But since it’s his own house, he said it doesn’t matter. I just might want to watch where I sit when I visit.

Hornsby: But it doesn't matter. Since this is my place, I can do whatever I want, shnozzle!

I didn’t realize, but there was a fishing tournament today. Lolly told me that she hopes she wins an award.

Lolly: I hope I win an award. I just love shiny trophies.

That reminded me to rush over to Chip’s tent for the winners’ ceremony. Claudia won third place, Agent S was number two, and the grand prize winner was…Lolly! She got her wish! Congrats, Lolly!

After that, I finished up my night with a Saturday night performance from K.K. Slider at Club LOL. He played K.K. Waltz for me, Elise, and Dizzy.

My recent dream visitors have been Sarah from Newtown, Ninten from Ninten, and Jojo from Dinoland. Lolly also mentioned dreaming of Andrew from River. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Shaved Water

Last Sunday night, I found Boots sleeping on the metal bench in town. I didn’t have the heart to wake him up, but I sat next to him for a moment.

Jeff sits on the bench next to a sleeping Boots.

On Thursday, I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground. I asked around, and I reunited it with its owner, Agent S. She told me that she put shaved ice in it! Oops, I guess it’s just shaved water now.

Agent S: I've been down in the dumps since I lost it! I put shaved ice in there, in a tree.

To thank me for returning it, she gave me some good-fortune clothes. I decided to wear them for a while.

Jeff wears the good-fortune clothes.

I spotted Gulliver down on the beach tonight. He was talking about geoglyphs and alpacas, so that meant he was headed to Peru.

Gulliver: ...Peru?! Oh yeah! I was headed to Peru! How could I forget?!

Boots had a new nickname for me…Beefcake. Not my favorite, but oh well. But just look at his face when he said it.

Boots: Beefcake. I know, right?

And up at Club LOL, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Chorale for me, Dizzy, and Elise.

If you haven’t yet seen my annual slideshow of New Leaf screenshots, here it is.

My recent dream visitors have been Parker from Memory, Woody from New Oak, Zephyr from Castelis, Mayank from Alamberg, Sam from FlexTape, and Tech from Rhythmic. Molly also mentioned dreaming of Sergio from Alameda. She said he was a pro listener. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your weekend!

Forest Turns Six

Last night, Vivian asked me to make a delivery to Rolf. I tracked him down and handed over the gift. He was impressed with the gift-wrapping on the item. When I returned to Vivian, she acted as if only a savage would return an item without wrapping it and including a hand-written note. 😂

Vivian: What kind of savage would return someone's possession without gift wrap and a handwritten note?

When I played today, Isabelle met me outside of my house. After all, today is a special day in Forest…

Isabelle: I almost can't believe it, but it's been 6 years to the day since you became our mayor!

I was taken against my will to the event plaza, where Isabelle held a ceremony to honor me. Rolf, Big Top, and Porter also showed up. Isabelle fondly remembered the day 6 years ago when I planted the town sapling (now the town tree).

Isabelle: I still remember it like it was yesterday...meeting at the train station, planting the seedling...

She tried to give me a gift (another sapling clock), but my pockets were full. So she said she’d send it in the mail.

Isabelle: Actually, it's not that small, is it? Well, not to worry. We'll have it shipped to your house, OK?

Then she told everyone to whip “IT” out.

Isabelle: All right, everyone. It's time to bring IT out. You know what I'm talking about...

So we all fired off some party poppers. Yay!

Everyone fires off party poppers at Jeff's anniversary party.

After the event, Agent S asked me to catch an ocean fish for her…in her own, weird way.

Agent S: Oh, what I wouldn't GIVE to have one of those salty critters of my own, in a tree!

I caught a zebra turkeyfish for her, and in return, she gave me a zebra turkeyfish folk shirt.

Once I was done playing for the day, I deposited my money into my bank account. My balance reached 113 million bells.

Your current balance is 113,000,000 bells.

As for my annual slideshow of my best pictures of the year, I hope to have that done at some point over the weekend. Keep an eye out for it!

My recent dream visitors have been Adria from Mist, Sunny from Zenithia, Joyce from Utopia, and Greta from Shirley. Thank you all for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Update for Throwback Thursday: If you want to take a look back at the first few minutes of Forest, here is a video I recorded back in 2013:
