Last Saturday, another former villager returned to visit as a tourist. It was my most recent villager to leave, Ketchup! She was completely shocked to see me!

But it was great to see her again! 🍅

On Sunday, Louie and a tourist named Dobie were both hanging out on the dock, both with thought bubbles saying they don’t know what to do. 😆

I was actually in the middle of crafting items for Kapp’n, so they were both getting in my way! I eventually decided to lead Dobie all the way to the hotel. Such a long journey, I know.

I decided to design a VIP room for the wolf. I made it look like a forest, and I used some log furniture and I gave him a den chair (get it?). I also gave him a moon to howl at.

After submitting more crafted DIY goods, I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for shipping my 500th product! I have now completed the “DIY Goods Wanted!” set of goals!

While I can continue to ship more goods to earn more hotel tickets, I don’t really need them. I have over 30,000 of those already, and I don’t shop at the hotel much anyway.

Yesterday, I saw just a few raindrops as I started up the game, but also a rainbow visible at the top of the hour.

It made for a nice screenshot with my fountains going off, but it almost meant that those few lonely raindrops made it a “rain day,” so I’d be stuck with dozens of new flower buds to clean up today. 😛

I ran into another former villager today, it was Marina! Interestingly enough, my Wild World version of Marina just gave me her photo. But it was nice to see this Marina again too! 🙂

Flick was in town, so I sold him 21 bugs (9 wasps, 5 peacocks, 5 emperors, and 2 tarantulas) for 106,500 bells.

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week or so:

• Last Saturday, K.K. Slider performed “Comrade K.K.” for me, Kid Cat, and Bones. But Bones just barely made it in time before the show started.
• Sunday, I returned a lost item to Louie. He rewarded me with a tiny party cap.
• On Monday, I gave some medicine to a sick Kid Cat. In return, he gave me a color-block dress shirt.
• On Tuesday, I returned a lost book to Bones. He thanked me with a paisley bandanna.
• I helped Gullivarrr on Wednesday, and he sent me a pirate eye patch the next day.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you next week with more!

On Sunday, Cally the squirrel was visiting Forest, without a place to stay. I offered to let her stay at the hotel, and I even designed a VIP room for her. I used some of the acorn/tree’s bounty furniture, along with a tree standee, a wild log bench, and a log bed.

Cally seemed to enjoy it!

On Monday, another tourist needed a place to stay. But this time, it was Candi the mouse. As some of you may know, Candi is a bit of a rival of mine in my GameCube town. And due to her proximity to a bridge, I sometimes use a glitch that lets me push her into the water in that game. So when designing her hotel room, I added in a Kerokerokeroppi bridge to remind her of that. I also filled in every empty spot with pitfall seeds. Enjoy the room, Candi! 😈

On Tuesday, I wasn’t paying attention after starting up the game. And when I did look over at the screen, I saw a pair of big eyes looking at me through the trees next to my house! 😮

It was just O’Hare the rabbit, and he was just in town as a tourist. But it kind of surprised me seeing him come out of the shadows like that. 😆

Chadder the mouse was camping out at the campsite (for the 3rd time), so I stopped in to say cheese hello. As cute as he may brie be, I did not ask him to move in.

By yesterday (Wednesday), the snow of winter had all melted. Yay! I spotted another former villager in town as a tourist, Eloise the elephant! It was nice to see her again! 🙂

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Monday, I gave some medicine to a sick Agent S. She thanked me with some mariachi clothing.
• Gulliver was in town Tuesday, and I dug up the parts to his communicator. However, I forgot to return them to him! I realized my mistake the next day, when I found the parts all rusted in my pockets. Oops.
• Yesterday, I returned a lost book to Ankha. She rewarded me with a loungewear shirt.
• Flick was in town today, and I sold him 32 bugs (mostly dung beetles and wasps) for 156,750 bells.

Enjoy the newly-green grass, and I’ll be back with another entry next week! Never Stop Crossing!

Monday was Festivale, so I just had to dance on over to the plaza and talk with Pavé.

He wanted some feathers, of course, so I kept an eye out for them as I played. My villagers were dressed up for the occasion too, and they were so cute! Especially June.

After making my rounds, I turned in my feathers for Festivale items. But the dancing peacock still needed more, so I repeated the process of hunting for feathers.

After I redeemed enough feathers for nine Festivale items, Pavé asked for three rainbow feathers. I already had two of them by that point, and an additional trip around town didn’t yield any more. So I crafted one (using the other feathers) and handed them over for a Festivale float. These things are so cool!

I stopped trading in feathers once I earned that. But before I ended my session, I also spotted the famous (or infamous) Raymond on Forest! However, he wouldn’t even turn to face me as I introduced himself! How rude!

On Tuesday, I ran into a previous villager, Tia the elephant! It’s so good to see her again!

I know the novelty of having tourists around will eventually wear off, but for now, it’s still a thrill to see former villagers and other animals I like. 🙂

On Wednesday, the robotic octopus tourist Cephalobot was enjoying some coffee at the Roost. But he told me something surprising. He claimed Forest coffee has a hint of apple! I hope that’s not true, because it doesn’t necessarily sound very good. 😛

I do like Cephalobot, though, and I wouldn’t mind having him on my island at some point!

On Thursday, I led the tourist Kody (one of my GameCube buddies) to the hotel. That earned me 2,000 Nook Miles for taking my 10th tourist to the hotel. That completed the “Take Tourists to the Hotel” goals for me. That is the first of the three new 3.0 goals that I’ve completed.

Yesterday, I found Pascal while diving. He popped up to tell me that making friends is like making music…wrong notes and all. 🎶

I’ve always thought oarfish were fairly rare…but last night, I caught four of them in a ten-minute span! I was shocked! But I’ll gladly take them. 😆

Tonight, Bones and June joined me for a K.K. Slider performance of “K.K. Ragtime.” I know it as the “knock me up” song, because that’s what part of the chorus sounds like he’s saying. 😆 It’s not a bad song, though.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Thursday, I played a treasure hunt game with Static. I won an instant-muscles suit.
• Colton the horse was camping at the campsite, but I didn’t ask him to move in.
• I helped out Gullivarrr find his communicator, and he sent me some pirate pants yesterday.
• Last night, Bones asked me to catch an olive flounder for him. (That’s actually why I was fishing and found all the oarfish I mentioned above.) Once I caught the olive flounder, he gave me a plain do-rag for it.

Yesterday, I posted an updated version of Ultimate Quick Comparisons that compare and contrast the five core Animal Crossing games. It reflects the changes made in ACNH Version 3.0, and of course I’ve added some new comparisons too. Check it out!
