Jeff's Animal Crossing Blog

I received Leigh’s goodbye letter in the mail today. She has flown the coop in search of a grand adventure at KFC.

Candi gave me some free slate flooring, but then she accused me of “sniffing” as I accepted the gift. (I never understood this.) So she got mad at me for some reason. But her catchphrase made her anger funny.

I did push her, but not long enough to make her mad. Well, not any more than she already was, I mean. 😛

Puck said that the weather was so nice today that he wanted to dance the lambada!

I kinda want to see him do it, though I’m not sure if it would be hilarious or horrifying.

Gracie is due to visit Forest soon, and many of my villagers were already swooning. That includes Belle the cow, who even called Gracie a “fashion goddess.”

Just a few steps from Belle, I met my newest neighbor: Huggy the koala. Surprisingly, Huggy has never been mentioned in this blog before. So if she lived here before (and she probably has), it was prior to March 2011.

Over by the wishing well, Hank and Kody were hanging out together…and wearing matching club shirts. It’s definitely appropriate for March, even if St. Patrick’s Day has passed already.🍀

But I accidentally asked Kody for a favor, so I had to fetch his Game Boy from Sydney.

It took me a while to find Sydney, but at least she didn’t send me on a wild goose chase once I tracked her down. She gave me the Game Boy right away.

When I took it back to Kody, he rewarded me with a No. 23 shirt. I’d have rather kept the Game Boy for myself. 😉

On Tuesday, I received a goodbye letter from Monique in the mail. Not to sound harsh, but I’m glad to see her go. 😛

I later met her replacement, Astrid the kangaroo. She previously lived here back in 2012, and I currently have her in my City Folk town as well.

She offered to sell me a pear for 1,730 bells, and I declined the offer. She got mad, saying that I’ll never find a single pear around here.

The funny part is that I literally had a single pear already in my pockets! Tom gave it to me moments earlier. 😆

I visited Baabara, and I tried to help myself to some tea. (In other words, I was messing with her tea set.) 😆 She got mad at me, and she even accused me of pushing her. But I was innocent, honest!

Yesterday, Puck was wondering if I had forgotten his name! (I didn’t.) But he re-introduced himself, and explained that sometimes he forgets his own name. 😛

Sydney surprised me by begging me to take her to another town. She really wants to move out of Forest that bad? Sorry, but I’ve sworn off train travel (at least from Forest). With my luck, it’d be Hank that left. I don’t want to go through that again.

I played again today (February 29th) to see if the game made any mention of Leap Day (or Leap Year in general). I apparently haven’t played on Leap Day since I started this blog, and I didn’t remember if I played on Leap Day 2004 or 2008… but sadly, I saw no mention of the occasion today.

Candi asked me if I’d give her a new catchphrase, and I told her no. So then she forced me to do it! If she’s going to be like that, then she’s not getting a pleasant catchphrase. 😆 So I told her to say “push me.”

And then I did push her. 😉

Nookington’s wasn’t open yet, but the sign on the door said “Are you ready to raffle?” It made me think of the “Let’s get ready to rumble!” guy, Michael Buffer. 😆

Later on, I checked back to see what the raffle prizes were (out of curiosity). I didn’t even have any raffle tickets to redeem.

Wendell was in town, but I didn’t have any fish to give him. I guess he’ll starve. 🤷

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll see you next time. 🙂

Today, I played for the first time since New Year’s Eve, and I found a goodbye letter from Twiggy in the mail. Unfortunately, Monique is still in town.

I also received two fossils back in the mail. Interestingly, they were both trilobites.

Candi told me it would be terrible if the temperature gets so cold that the river freezes over. I told her I wouldn’t mind, since it would be cool if we could walk across the river. But Candi got mad at me for “not caring about the fishies,” and she banned me from fishing! 😆

Not only that, but she’s not allowing me to even go near the river. 😆

In Acre B-5, Puck has a new neighbor. It’s Leigh, the native American chicken.

She previously lived in Forest back in 2012.

I later spotted an igloo near the river.

Maple was inside, and she was regretting not bringing enough food to last a while…even though her pot of chowder could probably feed 100 bear cubs. 😛

Back outside, I ran into Baabara (lucky me). She was talking about going on a picnic with her boyfriend, and she wanted to bring french fries and black tea. I told her that was a bad combination (just to mess with her), and she said I just couldn’t appreciate fine french fries. 😆

Monique was over by the wishing well, complaining about the cold weather. I hope she gets so sick of it that she moves out soon. 😉

But I took advantage of that same winter weather by building my first snowman of the season (and the year). He was a poetic little fellow, too.

I resisted the urge to kill him. So, he lives! ⛄

When I mailed away some unidentified fossils at the post office, that forced the mail out. Pete’s new deliveries included a letter from the snowman! Yes, already! He sent me a snowman wall, which I promptly sold for 8,888 bells. That’s a nice chunk of change, especially in this game! I’m glad I let the snowman live. 😉

See you in February! Never Stop Crossing!
