I received a goodbye letter in the mail today, and unfortunately, it was from Rio (not Carmen).

Candi had the “Nintendo Power maze” dialogue for me tonight. It’s the one where you have to pick left or right to help her get through a maze. It took me a whopping nine tries to get through it. This is one of the most annoying bits of dialogue in the entire series. And I don’t even get a reward for it. 😡

Dotty the rabbit has just moved into town. I found her fresh off an argument with another rabbit, Genji. In fact, Genji’s umbrella was slicing through my head as I spoke with Dotty. 😛

Static asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “krzzt,” so I told him to say “get zapped” instead. He then complained about the heat, saying that it was the one bummer of summer.

Maple asked me to get her a pear to snack on, and I agreed to help out.

After fetching a pear for the bear, she rewarded me with 527 bells. That’s a whole 27 bells more than Tom Nook pays. Now I’m rich! 🤑😂

Carmen was talking about how much she loves summer, especially with the fireworks festival coming up on Monday night.

As I walked around town, I noticed a lot of arguments going on tonight:

• Dotty and Genji
• Belle and Ursala
• Puck and Genji
• Hank and Baabara

And of course, most of them took out their anger on me, even though I had nothing to do with it. 😛

I wish this game had more pitfalls, so that I could give them a reason to be angry. 😂

See you all next time!

I got some good news in the mail today: Tabby has left town! 🙂

When I ran into Genji, he reminded me that the fishing tourney is coming up soon. Actually, a bunch of fishing tourneys are coming up: One is held every Sunday in June. (The same thing happens in November, too.)

Puck was also talking about the tournament, and he warned me that he views me as a rival until he wins.

Carmen was nagging me about paying back my debt to Tom Nook. She even called me a burden to society! 😮

Time to go buy a mousetrap.

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, and he gave me a Chinese lion.

I visited Tom, and he wondered where I had been lately. So naturally, he assumed that I got arrested for smuggling exotic fruit. 😂

That actually reminded me of New Leaf, when Squishy used to bring her oranges to my town to sell them for a better price. I joked that she was smuggling oranges. 🍊

In the southwest part of town, I found Tabby’s replacement: It was Rio! She’s my favorite ostrich, and I almost added her to my New Horizons island recently. But I’m glad I got her here!

Unfortunately, she didn’t wait long to ask about my Chinese lion…under the guise of recycling.

She wanted to trade it for a rose wall. Even though I didn’t want to stick my neck out, I declined the offer. But still, I hope Rio stays in town a while.

Yesterday, I received a goodbye letter from Truffles the pig. I was as happy as a pig in mud to see her leave. 😛

But the good vibes ended quickly when I saw who replaced Truffles. It was Tabby!

April has not been kind to my Animal Crossing towns in terms of new villagers. I got Tabby in this game, Marcel in City Folk, and Beardo in New Horizons. Yikes.

If there’s any consolation, it’s that Tabby probably won’t stick around very long. 🤞

When I spoke to Genji, he said that all the trees in town are filled with happiness and sunshine. I think he’s been watching too much Bob Ross lately. 😂

At Nookington’s, I bought a paw shirt…and nine other items. Actually I just wanted some raffle tickets. Then today, I returned to use those raffle tickets. Tom Nook had some good prizes, especially that Arwing!

One of my entries was a blue ball, so I won a samurai suit. Even though I don’t necessarily need the prizes, it’s fun to participate (and especially win) the raffles once in a while. 🙂

A treasure hunt was also underway, and I found the prize: a frog woman pole. 🐸👩💈

Tabby twice tried to sell me turnips she didn’t really have, but I didn’t fall for her tricks.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
