Lolly, Lolly, Lolly

Last Sunday night, it was raining hard in Forest…just as it was in my new City Folk town of Mushroom, and in real life as well. It felt like I couldn’t escape it! 😛

Lolly: This rain does NOT want to stop!

I found a lost item on the ground, and the search for its owner brought me back to Lolly. She gave me a big-dot tank to thank me for returning it.

Lolly: Oh! This IS mine! Great, now I can keep both hands warm.
This poor little kitten has lost her mitten.

On Tuesday, Lolly informed me that she has already read 20 books this fall!

Lolly: I'm what you'd call a voracious reader, bonbon. I've already consumed 20 books this fall!
She has an appetite for reading.

I’m not intentionally making this entire entry about Lolly, but that’s just the way it’s worked out! 😛 On Thursday, she asked me to bury a time capsule for her. I buried it in my usual spot for time capsules, even though it’s a long way from her house.

Lolly: Sorry to spring this on you, but would you be interested in burying my time capsule for me?

Today, the final Bug-Off of the year was held. I was trying to get one of the non-gold trophies, so I just caught one bug (a red dragonfly) and gave it to Nat. It scored 23 points, and I didn’t want to go any higher.

Nat: 23 points!

But when I attended the winners’ ceremony later on, I didn’t even make the podium! Vivian was the winner, Rolf got 2nd place, and Big Top finished 3rd. Oops.

Vivian celebrates a Bug-Off victory.
V is for victory. And Vivian.

My recent dream visitors have been Timor from Nauen, Teren from SmolTown, Lindsay from Hoopie, Jack from JDH, Julie from Narnia, Olive from Starhill, and Emma from Safavoir. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Late Night Lolly

Last Sunday night, I was happy (and relieved) to see my new villager Lolly out late at night. Unlike Bones, it seems that she stays up until midnight. That means I shouldn’t go long stretches without seeing her (hopefully).

Lolly: Hey, Jeff! The breeze feels nice tonight, doesn't it, bonbon.

Monday was Labor Day in America, but I played too late in the day to catch Isabelle at the event plaza. But the face-cutout standee was still there, so I stuck my face through it and played some tennis.

Jeff uses the Labor Day faceboard to play tennis.

On Wednesday, I took my pet Sphinx for a walk. He pooped in the yard, so I had to clean it up. 😛

Last night, there was a meteor shower in the skies over Forest. So I stopped to wish on a shooting star.

Jeff wishes on a shooting star in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Lolly told me about one of her favorite books: 50 Ways to Get Out of a Pitfall. Hmm, I’m curious to see what those could be.

Lolly: On a day like today, it's hard not to think of one of my favorite books: 50 Ways to Get Out of a Pitfall.

  1. Climb out.
  2. Jump as high as you can.
  3. Get a friend to drop you a rope.
  4. Press the A button rapidly.
  5. ???

Tonight, I stopped at Club LOL to check out a musical performance from K.K. Slider. Dizzy and Peck were also at the show. The singing dog played K.K. Synth for us.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called K.K. Synth.

Big Top wanted to move out of town on September 13th, but I talked him out of it.

My recent dream visitors have been Cheatsy from Insanity, Galaxy from Fortree, Patrick from Outset, Michael from Misthome, Daniela from Miranda, Raffaele from Marijoa, and Josh from Village. Thank you all for stopping by!

Ultimate Camper

Bones recently asked me to fetch Aurora for him, and I agreed to help. I tracked Aurora down, and we both headed to Bones’ house.

Bones: A huh huh huh! Welcome to both of you!

Bones bought a blue tie-dye tank, and he wanted to give it to Aurora since he heard that she was looking for one. Aurora was thrilled to have it, and Bones gave me an astro lamp. I’m not sure why he didn’t just ask me to deliver the shirt to Aurora, but oh well. 😛

The final fireworks festival of the year was held last Sunday, and I attended the event. Isabelle gave me a flower bopper to wear.

Jeff wears a flower bopper at the fireworks festival.

On Tuesday night, Rolf asked me about the sabertooth skull I had on me. Uh-oh, did he think I was out hunting tigers or something?

Rolf: So I heard about your sabertooth skull...
I’m sorry! Please don’t eat me! Tigers are grrrreat!

But it turns out, he just wanted one for himself. He offered me 3,000 bells for it, and I accepted. Note: I also recently saved him from moving out, so he will still be a Forest resident for the foreseeable future.

On Wednesday, I met the camper, Lolly. Lolly!

Lolly: That's a shame. Since the universe has spoken, I'll be asking for your silver nugget now.
You can take anything. Silver nuggets, perfect fruit, adverbs, you name it!

Lolly is the ultimate camper! She’s my favorite villager, and it’s rare that I’ve had her in any of my towns. Only in City Folk once, for just a couple months or so, and that was years ago. So I kept playing her camper games until she agreed to move in. YES!

Lolly: It seems the universe has spoken! I'm going to be your new neighbor, Jeff. My name is Lolly!

Yesterday, Molly asked me to bury a time capsule for her. I buried it in the usual spot.

Molly: I have a little favor to ask you. Vivian and I have been working on a time capsule project.

Rolf then told me that he recently stuck his head through the face-cutout standee.

Rolf: One day, I thought I'd just go for it and stick my head through the face-cutout standee.

He said Boots caught him doing it, and Rolf felt embarrassed. But it just reminded me of this picture I took in 2016.

Today, Lolly arrived in town! She lives next door to Booker.

Booker's house and Lolly's house.

So of course, I quickly went inside to see her again. It’s so good to finally have Lolly in one of my towns again. 😀

Lolly: I want to finish cleaning up and go for a walk, bonbon!

My recent dream visitors have been T.G. from Lunaris, Char from Padstow, Smiley from Crismon, Kayla from HoneyOak, Kitty from Sanrio, Lara from Styx, Katlyn from Freedom, and Sïef from Nïx, Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
