To start with, it was the beginning of another month, so it was time for Nintendo to deliver the latest piece in the gold furniture set. As the letter said, "Here is the latest item in the Golden series, the golden bench. It's the most luxurious way to loaf around the house!" Well, as you can imagine, a solid gold bench isn't exactly the most comfortable thing to sit on!

Jack sent around his first reminder that he's on his way at the end of the month. I know I should probably stock up on candy, but honestly, I think I've still got some candy in my closet from the last time around... hope it's still good!

Derwin tried to move away again, but I think I was able to talk him out of it. I mean, I asked him to stay, and he said he'd try to get out of it, and by the end of the week, he was still around, and not saying anything more about it, so I guess he changed his mind. Good! (Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Violet continues to linger...)

As you can see, it's starting to turn into fall. The grass is turning a little brown. The trees are mostly still a vibrant green... as are the weeds. So it's easier to see them, which is a plus, I guess!

Guess Winnie didn't get her vaccinations before moving to Narnia, because she only just got here and she's already picked up a cold. Of course, being the nice neighbor that I am, I happily picked up some medicine from the store and brought it back around to her. Can't have everyone getting sick and dying on me!

This is the other reason why I feel like Derwin is sticking around. Usually only one person tries to leave at a time, so when Poncho gave me the news he wanted to skip town, I figured Derwin was good. Anyway, I asked him not to go, and he said that if I was going to cry about it, he'd stay. FYI: I didn't shed a tear. Not one. Just FYI.
