Elbow Holes

Yesterday, I received Harry’s goodbye letter in the mail. I don’t intend to sound mean, but I’m glad he’s gone. 😛 He stuck around way too long for my liking.

Jeff, Thanks for being here for me. I'm a better animal for knowing you. I'm leaving Forest behind, but I'll be thinking of you in my new home! -Harry

I also got a letter from Tom in the mail. He’s over his cold now, and he sent me a daffodil table to thank me for the medicine I gave him. (I may have forgotten to mention the medicine in last week’s blog entry.)

A tiny bit of trivia I just realized: My City Folk town and my Wild World town both have a pink villager that lives near the beach in the far southeast corner of town. In City Folk, it’s Nana. In Wild World, it’s Peanut.

In the northeast corner of town, I found Saharah. She almost looked like she was hiding up among the cedar trees!

Saharah walking between some trees at the north end of town.

She was looking for old wallpaper, so I began asking my villagers for some. Gabi had no interest in helping me, but she sure liked to laugh about it.

Gabi: Old wallpaper? Why, did you buy an old wall? Tee hee, bear with! Teeeeee hee hee hee!

Tutu gave me some old wallpaper, but she was the only one of my nine villagers to help me out. Fortunately, I had two of them in storage, so I had the three that I needed for Saharah. When I took them over to her, she gave me a meadow vista in return.

Saharah: Here...a meadow vista. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.

Today, Egbert was telling me that his shirt has holes in the elbows. I don’t think his shirt even has sleeves, let alone elbows.

Egbert: Oh, no! My shirt has holes in the elbows, and I don't think stapling them shut is gonna work this time!

He wondered if Sable or Mabel would mend it for him. I initially thought he was going to ask me for a new shirt to replace it, but I think this was just dialogue based on the fact that we were standing near Able Sisters.

Tom asked me to deliver a shirt (a graduation gown) to Antonio. I agreed to help out, and Antonio loved the gift. Tom then rewarded me with some charcoal tile. But isn’t that a bit like giving me coal in my Christmas stocking? 🤔

Tom: It's not really a proper thank-you, but I put aside some charcoal tile for ya, I'm evil.

I then finished off my night with a Saturday night concert in the Roost. K.K. Slider performed Comrade K.K. for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Comrade K.K..
