Half Priced Trees

I received Patty’s goodbye letter in the mail today.

Heya, Jeff, Tee hee...it's true! I've finally pulled up stakes and left town! But I'll never forget you! -From Patty
Stakes, or steaks?

Nook’s Cranny had a half-off sale, so I bought a festive tree for my house. It only cost 520 bells! Although, it was a small tree, since they didn’t have any large ones in stock.

Timmy: The price is 520 bells. Would you like it? ...like it?

This is how it looks in my house:

My festive tree in my snowman-themed house.

Margie asked me to deliver a letter to Benedict, and I agreed to help out. Benedict was nice enough to show me the letter.

Dear Benedict, Your heart was really in that last letter. Thanks! Someday I'm gonna be a running referee! I feel chatty! -Margie

When I returned to Margie, she gave me a desert cactus as my reward for making the delivery.

Happy holidays, everyone!

Mooving Out

Snow now covers the ground and trees, so winter is in full effect in Forest. Several of my villagers had winter-related dialogue, but I think Margie’s line about staying warm was the cutest. 😛

Margie: You be sure to wrap up extra snug when you go to bed tonight, OK?

I visited Patty, and I was a bit surprised to see she was packed up and ready to move out of town.

Patty: But here's the deal: I'm gonna be moving out of town soon, how-now.
Moving? Don’t you mean mooving? 🐄

Even though I don’t have a beef with Patty, and she hasn’t lived here long, I still decided to let her go. I’ll take my chances and see who ends up taking her place on the farm.

Rolf confused me a bit when he told me my head looks warm…as he used the mischief emotion.

Rolf: Oh! Your head looks pretty warm!

Is that a compliment? Or is he tempted to eat me? I really have no idea, and his subsequent dialogue provided no clues. He just wanted to know what I thought of his outfit. 🤷

I didn’t play long tonight, because I was so tired that I was repeatedly falling asleep as I played. 😛 It was just a few seconds here and there, but it was happening quite frequently, so I shut off the game and took a nap before writing this blog entry. 😛

But I’ll be back with another entry next week. See you then, and Happy Holidays!

Snowing Forever?

The first snowflakes of the season fell from the sky today. Some of my villagers, including Big Top, were happy to see it.

Big Top: Oh! Wow! It's already 8 o'clock! I played in the snow all day!

Mathilda, on the other hand, did not seem to be a fan of the white stuff. She complained that it’s been snowing forever, and she said she wasn’t even exaggerating. :p

Mathilda: It's been snowing forever. I'm so not exaggerating, J-puff.
You couldn’t not be exaggerating. 😛

When I visited Benedict, he told me it would be so cool to have a fossil in his house. Of course, he was already standing right next to two fossils as he said it.

Benedict: Yeah...it would be so cool to have a fossil in my house, buhk buhk.

As I entered Nookington’s, I heard a UFO flying by. But my character was already walking through the door, so there was nothing I could do about it.

I found all three of today’s fossils, and I took one of them (a fern fossil) over to Benedict. He rewarded me with 520 bells (of course).

Margie asked me a very stupid question tonight: She asked if I knew who Big Top is. 🤦

Margie: Hey, J-puff, you know who Big Top is... Don't you, tootie?

He’s lived in town for over three and a half years, so I sure hope I know who he is. She asked me to deliver a present (a fresh shirt) to him, and she gave me an hour to do it. I quickly made the delivery, and Margie rewarded me with an anatomical model.
