Unsuccessful Snowmam Stretch

I visited Beth’s town Acorn over the weekend, and we fell into holes after sitting on a tree stump.

I also started eating snow, although I don’t know why. Maybe I was just hungry.

Me eating some snow from the top of the bushes.On Sunday, Pashmina told me that she’s planning on moving out of town on February 8th (to experience some turf wars). I didn’t try to stop her. She’s been in town a good while (since September 2015), and I’m ready to let her move on. It’s been nice having her around, but I think I’ll scan in an Amiibo villager once she’s gone.

Pashmina: Anyway, I need to get out there and experience stuff like this. So next month on the 8th, I'm leaving!My snowmam was all melted away, so I tried to build a new one on Sunday. I rolled the snowballs over to my zen garden, but as I was walking, I accidentally bumped the bigger one onto the smaller one. As a result, I got a deformed snowtyke!

Snowboy: How did this happen? I can't believe it! How did I get such a big head?Yesterday, Rodeo asked me for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “or not.”

Rodeo: You really helped me out there! Or not!I tried making a snowmam yesterday and again today. Both times, I made snowmams…but they weren’t perfect ones. So they demanded five snowflakes (instead of three) for ice furniture. I’ve been making perfect snowmams without much trouble all winter, but now I’ve hit a rough stretch where I can’t seem to do it right. Maybe that angry, big-headed snowtyke put a curse on me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anyway, the northern lights were up in the sky tonight. We only have a few more weeks before the auroras (and the snow) are gone.

Luna told me my recent dream visitors have been Mayounna from Amy Rose, Eli from Town, Leah from Snowdin, and Ellis from Yatton. In addition, Rodeo mentioned meeting Krystal from Wildwood in a dream. Thank you all for stopping by!

Aurora’s Birthday

Yesterday, I got a letter in the mail from Nintendo. It congratulated me on completing the beginner levels in Desert Island Escape.

To Jeff, Woohoo! You cleared every last beginner level of Desert Island Escape! What does that mean? You've won a Wii U station! -From NintendoMy reward was a Wii U station. It’s like a kiosk that you might find in a game shop. Pretty cool.

The Wii U station on display in my house. I got it in a letter from Nintendo for completing the beginner stages of Desert Island Escape.Outside, Camofrog asked me for some perfect fruit. But Saharah was standing nearby, and it almost looked as if Camofrog’s head was peeking out of Saharah’s sack!

Camofrog, standing behind Saharah: Hey, Jeff! Could you find me a perfect fruit? Oh, and to be clear, any kind would be fine, OK?!I gave him a perfect orange, and he wolfed it down so fast that he nearly croaked choked to death.

Camofrog: ...Urk! HACK HACK COUGH! I got so excited, I swallowed some the wrong way!Once he caught his breath, he gave me an imperial wall to thank me.

Today is Aurora’s birthday, so I made sure to attend her birthday party. Lily was also there to celebrate.

Aurora, at her birthday party: I'm so happy to spend my birthday with my friends.For her birthday present, I gave her a modern hospital bed that I picked up at the campground earlier. It reminded me of the time when Aurora had a hospital TV in her house. If you don’t remember, I was visiting her one time and I heard a cat meowing in her house! I didn’t see a TV in her house at first, until I realized it was up on the wall. ๐Ÿ˜›

Aurora enjoyed the present, and as Lily agreed, she seemed to be having a great time. Happy birthday, Aurora!

Lily, at Aurora's birthday party: Aurora seems to be having a great time! I think we can call this a successful birthday party.Once I left the party, I met up with Pashmina outside. She said Molly’s house was in a great spot, and she wondered how Molly found it. Uh, actually she brought the house with her when she moved in. Just like everybody else. ๐Ÿ˜›

Pashmina: Molly's house is in a really nice spot! How'd she find it?Later on tonight, I spotted Rolf chilling out on the town’s metal bench. Why do my villagers seem to use this bench more in winter, when it’s freezing outside? And it being metal is only going to make it feel even colder.

Rolf, sitting on a bench: Brrrrrr... Who decided that winter needed to be so cold...?

My recent dream visitors have been Derrick from Pie, Sam from Yavin 4, and Aya from Loamholm. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!

Bob’s Catnap

The January fishing tournament was held this past weekend. Even though I didn’t participate, I did attend the winners’ ceremony. Bob was the big winner, while Agent S got 2nd place and Big Top finished in 3rd.

Bob stands atop the winners podium for the fishing tournament. Agent S finished in 2nd place, and Big Top was 3rd.

Able Sisters had a blue flannel shirt on sale, so I decided to buy it and wear it for a while.

Mabel: The basic vibe of the blue flannel shirt is nice, right?Lily needed some assistance with a cherry, so I gladly gave her what she wanted.

Lily: I'd been wanting that for so long! And it was as good as I'd hoped!She was quite satisfied, and she rewarded me with a saddle fence.

I found Bob taking a catnap while sitting on the metal bench in town. I let the little guy sleep, but I still joined him on the bench for a moment.

Your current balance is 89,000,000 bells.

I played some more Desert Island Escape tonight, and I tried out a new trio of islanders: Maddie, Molly, and Lily. (My usual group is Goldie, Stitches, and Rosie). Maddie is a dog like Goldie, so she had the same “sniff ’em out” ability that I can’t do without. Molly is “soft-footed,” which helps her to evade fights and get away safely, while Lily is a swimmer that can move farther through shallow water (but not far on land).

A successful million in Desert Island Escape, as Maddie, Molly, and Lily escape to freedom on a raft.

I completed level 10 with this group, but I think I’ll go back to my usual trio next time. Anyway, I have now completed all of the beginner maps. I’ll move on to the intermediate levels the next time I play.

My recent dream visitors have been Karen from Pactopia, Gonzalo from Orlรฉans, Henry from H Town 3, Alex from Fourside, Memeowfu from Catnip, and Cloud from Lorulia. Thanks for stopping by!
