I started up the game and saw that it was snowing! It’s the first snow of the season. It’s also the first time in over two months that I didn’t have to water my flowers! Finally! The dry autumn is finally over with.

Also, Tom Nook asked me what I prefer in a store again. As you may know, once you have had Nookington’s, Tom Nook will occasionally ask you what’s most important to you: Variety, hours, balance, or nothing much. If you choose variety, you will get (or keep) Nookington’s. If you choose hours, you get Nook ‘n’ Go. If you choose balance, you’ll get Nookway. And if you choose “nothing much,” your store will remain whichever one it is currently. I already have Nook ‘n’ Go, which I prefer for the late hours, so I chose “nothing much” to keep it.

A lot of people on message boards seem to say Nook will ask you this question every month (30 days). But I don’t believe he asks that often. So this will be my test. I’m making a note that he asked me on November 26. The next time he asks, I will look for this entry and see how long it really took for him to ask again.

Even though it’s Friday night, I didn’t open my gate tonight since I opened last night instead (for the harvest festival).

Tonight, I went on and watered my flowers; I found two new black roses. I talked to my animals and picked up some mushrooms–including an elegant mushroom and a rare mushroom.

Then I saw Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. However, I didn’t feel like chasing everyone down, so I didn’t bother asking everyone. I did ask Bob though, and he gave me one. I’ll save it for next time.

Just when I was about done playing, I saw a new house. It belonged to Poppy, who just moved in.

I started up the game and checked my mail. To my surprise, there was a goodbye letter from Gigi.

I also had a letter from Abbey. She sent me a statue of “E.T.”–her brother. It was a spaceman. It was actually an item I needed for my catalog anyway.

I went around town, watering my flowers and talking to some animals. They were getting ready for the harvest festival.

And of course, Tortimer was at town hall, preparing for the event.

I was tired of Kid Cat calling me “Mach Girl,” and he still hasn’t asked me for a catchphrase, so I reported him at town hall. He won’t be calling me that anymore.

I turned the game off for a while, and then came back to it at 6:00. Franklin was out and about, so I stocked up on forks and knives from Tortimer and went Franklin hunting.

Skye came over to visit and we searched for Franklin together. Although she didn’t completely know how the festival worked, I tried to fill her in.

She couldn’t get over how cute Franklin was. Him? At one point, I swear she was trying to kiss him when he leaned out from behind a tree! 😀

Anyway, she left around 7:00. I continued to search for Franklin until around 7:45 or so. I sold all the harvest furniture I accumulated and earned about 44,000 bells. Unfortunately, the harvest furniture is worth much less than the spooky and Jingle furniture you can get at Halloween and Christmas. Anyway, I’ll leave you with a picture of Franklin’s worst hiding place of the night.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
