At 10:00 tonight, I opened my town gate for Friday Night Forest. Beth came over to visit, followed by Squishy a few minutes later.
At one point, I was away for a minute or two. When I came back, I found myself surround by holes.
Meli then arrived and joined in, so we had a full house. We hung out by the central park, where Squishy had a magic glow wand that slightly increased her height. And that’s no tall tale!
Once she shrunk back down to normal size, I was able to put my net through her face! Don’t worry, it was net painful.
After hanging out for a while, we went out to the island. We caught some fish and bugs for a bit, but then we tried some tours.
The tour selection wasn’t very good, but we did some bug-catching, fish-catching, and item-matching…and we didn’t do very well at any of them. Maybe we got silver once, but the other times we got bronze or worse. Even when we did an “easy” tour, haha!
But the item-matching tour was our worst showing: We failed it spectacularly. 😀
We were tired of being robbed by Tortimer, so we went back to Forest. After selling my island catches at Re-Tail, I placed some dead end signs down. And then we started watering them. Uh, to keep them from coming to life, I suppose. But Meli tempted fate by dancing on the dead end signs!
Fortunately, she survived. I added another tile for her to water too.
Meli and Beth eventually wandered off…leaving the dead end with two dead ends of its own.
We ended up back by the metal bench, where Molly asked me for some fruit. I gave her a perfect peach, and she had this expression on her face:
I left that text box there for a minute or so. Apparently, everyone could see Molly’s expression (and they were amused by it), but they couldn’t see the peach I gave her.
We started pulling out all of our accessories. Beans, bubbles, hammers, coffee, and more.
I even made use of my megaphone.
I also got my slingshot out in case any UFOs flew by. (They didn’t).
We were enjoying the sights of the falling cherry blossoms with my illuminated tree in the background.
Shortly before midnight, we got abruptly disconnected. Since it was so late, I didn’t reopen my gate. But thank for you coming Beth, Squishy, and Meli! It was fun!
According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was Angel from Dreamers. Have a good weekend, everyone!
Today, cherry blossom petals started falling from the sky. It’s a beautiful time of year to enjoy the scenery, even if New Leaf doesn’t have a 
Saharah was in town, so I hired her to put in some new wallpaper and carpeting. She ultimately went with this chessboard rug and chain-link fence.
I made another trip out to the island tonight, although I didn’t stay very long. I think I should get into the habit of doing this more often. It helps me work towards three badges at once by increasing my fish count, my bug count, and my bank account. 😉
Lately, I’ve been converting some of my old ACCF designs into New Leaf patterns (using 
It was a nice day in Forest today…so nice that Molly wanted to go sunbathing in a pond! And yes, “in a pond” is her new catchphrase.
I took an updated picture of my town map. As Meli pointed out to me the other night, Peck is all by himself in the lower part of town. Velma did live near him, but of course she’s gone now.
