Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Last night, Beth invited me over the New Year’s Eve celebration in her town of Acorn (which is five hours ahead of me). I put on my tuxedo and headed over. Squishy was also there, and we all celebrated the arrival of 2017.At one point, Filbert pushed me away from the plaza! He’s stronger than he looks! 😉

Perfect oranges were Re-Tail’s premium item back in Forest, so Squishy and Beth returned to 2016 (briefly) to sell some perfect oranges in my town.

I didn’t watch the countdown in my own town, though. I was playing Wild World instead. But I did return to New Leaf later and saw a few of the fireworks.

Today, I got a letter in the mail from Mom, wishing me a happy new year. She included 10,000 bells with the letter.

While there weren’t fireworks today, I did spot the northern lights up in the sky. Lots of reasons to keep looking up lately.

Isabelle was at the event plaza, talking about how she wishes she could fly free like a bird. Are you not happy with your job here, Isabelle?

She was actually referencing 2017 being the year of the rooster. A Zodiac rooster was the item she was handing out for the new year. I took it home to get a look at it.

Between my perfect peach money from the other day and today’s monthly interest on my bank account, my balance topped 88 million bells.

My villagers all wished me a happy new year, although no one said it quite like Camofrog.

Today is also Bob’s birthday! So I made sure to pay him a visit and attend his birthday party. I gave him a customized square minitable for his present. I hope he liked it.

Pashmina was also there (sporting a Wii U shirt).

Not surprisingly, Bob had food on his mind. He couldn’t wait to dig into his birthday cake.

Happy birthday, Bob! And Happy New Year to you!

My recent dream visitors have been Adeline from Argyle and Ashley from Wendell. Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been scanning more of my Welcome Amiibo cards lately, to check out their RVs at the drive-in campground. Tad the frog has a farming theme going on here, including a tractor and some cornstalks.

Hopkins the bunny has a nice gaming room. He has a standing TV, a Wii U console, a disk writer, a giant Game Boy, and more. That round thing on the floor is a round cushion.

Paolo the elephant keeps clean in this spa room with a bathtub, glass partition, and modern wash station. Wait, I sound like I’m describing a showcase on The Price is Right!

While walking on the beach looking for snowflakes yesterday, I saw something unusual. I saw Pashmina up on my private beach! There’s no way to get there without swimming, and I’m pretty sure she can’t swim! Unless she fell off the cliff. 😛

The situation turned more serious funny when Pashmina fell into the pitfall seed that was buried there!

I then put my wet suit on and swam over to see her. Needless to say, she was not very happy. 😀

When I put my money into my bank account, my balance reached 87 million bells.

Today, Squishy told me that her Re-Tail had perfect peaches as the premium item. So she opened up her gate for me. I gave Squishy one basket of perfect peaches, but I still had a lot left over. Enough to earn 906,000 bells, in fact! Nice payday! Thanks, Squishy!

By the way, if you want to check out the blog that Squishy and Beth run, it’s called Cosmic Acorns.

At the campground today, Harvey had this large tea table for sale. When I first saw it, I thought it was a trampoline! How cool would it be to have a trampoline in Animal Crossing? Make it happen, Nintendo! 😉

My recent dream visitors have been Dawn from MistyBay, Lauren from Ambrette, Luna from Fantasy, Xavier from Quigley, and Alina from Mailand. Thanks for stopping by! I should be back on Sunday for New Year’s Day (and Bob’s birthday). Hope to see you then!

I got a letter from Jingle in the mail yesterday, thanking me again for the help on Christmas Eve. Since I made all of the deliveries perfectly, he sent me his picture along with the letter.

Today is Pashmina’s birthday, so I went in to wish her a good one. Bob was also there to help her celebrate. Wait, are they kissing?!

When I talked to her, Pashmina told me that Bob gave her a gigantic present! Ummm…

She asked if I had a present for her too. So I gave her a customized outdoor sign, and she seemed to enjoy it. That was a relief, because I sure wasn’t about to kiss her!

I also spoke with Bob, and he said he helped Pashmina set up the party last night. So he’s been here with her since last night?

I got another pack of Welcome Amiibo cards for Christmas; here’s a look at the cards I got this time.

I got Hopkins, Paolo, Maddie, Maggie, Candi, and Tad. Two of them (Paolo and Maddie) were duplicates that I already got in my first pack last week. Tad is probably my favorite of the bunch, but Candi has been a long-time resident of my GameCube town. So I decided to scan her card first.

She seems to be running a store in her camper. She has a merchandise table, a basic display stand, a shopping cart, a shopping bag, a store shelf, a modern cash register, and more.

Who said you can set up shop here? Do you have a license to run a business out of your RV, Candi?!

No, a driver’s license isn’t the same thing! Don’t make me push you into the river again, mouse lady!

Anyway, Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Miranda from Seacrest. Thanks for stopping by!
