I Missed Clyde’s Day

I played a bit on Monday, and Dotty told me she was thinking about moving out of town. I didn’t try to stop her.

Dotty: Yeah, I guess you're right. No one would miss me if I left anyway...Tangy was outside in the snow, mentioning how freezing she was. Maybe it’s not the best weather for wearing that bikini?

Tangy: C-coooold... S-soooooooo c-c-cooooold... T-teeth so ch-ch-chattery...

I didn’t notice a new house on Monday…but apparently, it was there. I’m not even horsing around! That’s because I only met my new neighbor Clyde today! He was already unpacked and trotting around outside.

Clyde: Hey, nice to meetcha! I'm Clyde, and this is my very first time living on my own!

Dotty, meanwhile, is not packed up yet. Probably by next week.

I noticed there are now festive Christmas lights on many of the cedar trees around town, so I stopped to take a picture. The holiday season is upon us!

I then made a delivery for Midge (to Benedict), and she rewarded me with a regal wall. Not much else was going on today.

But I have finished up my latest ACCF video, as promised. It shows some funny, interesting, and memorable moments from 2017. Here is City Folk Moments #2! I hope you enjoy it.

I’ll be back again next week. Have a merry Christmas, and happy holidays to you all! 🙂

Mouse Trap

Winter is here, and snow now covers the ground in town. I ran into Midge today, and she asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had ten minutes to find her, Samson, and Static.

Midge: OK, so here's the plan. We're gonna hide someplace in town, and you're gonna try to find us!A minute and a half later, I found Static hiding behind his own house! How lazy is that?

I continued my walk around town, stopping in Kitty’s house. I just had to admire her interior decorating skills. Not many people are brave enough to put a trash can in the center of their room like this. Right next to the chair, too! So I can relax and take a deep breath and enjoy the smells of yesterday’s dinner scraps.

Samson, in a pitfall: The weight of my muscles crushed the planet! AWESOME!
I caught a rodent of unusual strength.

After a trip to the city (where it was snowing), I returned home to bang on my drum all day. Or for a while, at least.

I’ll be back next week with another entry…and a new ACCF video! 🙂 Hope to see you then!

Buying a Festive Tree

As I started the game up today, I got Nan’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Dear Jeff, Today's my last day. I'm leaving Forest. Good-bye, Jeff. I hope you won't forget me! -Good-bye, Nan

I also received a letter from Mom (she sent me an apple), and my monthly statement from the Bank of Nintendo (informing me I earned 99,999 bells in interest for the month).

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I saw Nook had a large festive tree for sale. Since it’s December now, I bought it and put it in my house.

Tom Nook: Yes, a big festive tree. It costs 1,984 bells.

Samson was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine I had in my pockets. He flipped for it; I wonder if it was cheese flavored.

Over by the waterfall, Kitty asked me for a new greeting. Since she was still wearing a skimpy bikini in the cold December weather, I told her to say “I feel so cold.”

Kitty: I feel so cold...You can see Wendell’s “mystery circle” patterns in that picture. Speaking of Wendell, he was in town again today. But I wasn’t looking for any of his designs, so I didn’t even speak to him.

Static asked me for a fossil, and he was lucky I was feeling generous today. I gave him a parasaur tail, and he seemed to enjoy it. In return, he gave me a TV with a VCR, which is nearly as old as the fossil. 😛

Static: You really came through for me there, buddy. I'd like you to have a TV with a VCR.

At the gate, I cleaned out the lost and found. I currently have 25 pitfall seeds, not counting the one that’s buried in the corner of town, or any that I may have in storage. Why am I hoarding pitfall seeds? Maybe I’ll put them to use at some point next year. 😉
