Last night, I went to visit Bob. I was surprised to find Big Top was there as well.
Big Top just wanted to use Bob’s sofa to take a nap on. It’s hard to imagine an elephant sitting on a cat’s sofa without breaking it.
When I put some money into my bank account, my balance topped 73 million bells.
After a quick stop at Beth’s towns of Otaku and Arrested, I returned home and decided to put in a new PWP (public works project). But it’s not the geyser you might have been expecting; I still haven’t picked out a spot for that just yet. Instead, I decided to put in a custom-design sign. It only costs 40,000 bells, so I paid it off on the spot.
I put it near my bulletin board, so that visitors will see it soon after getting off the train. I can put seasonal/holidays designs up depending on the time of year, use a sports team logo, or even make a sign welcoming my visitors. For now, I put the Cavs’ CLE design.
I then went to town hall to trigger the completion ceremony. Yay!
Believe it or not, it’s been a year and a half since I put in a new PWP! The last one was my Sphinx back in November 2014.
When I was at town hall, I also took an updated picture of my town map. It’s been a while since I’ve updated the map on my town page, so here is the up-to-date map that includes the houses of Hamlet, Bob, and Julian.

Hamlet noticed I had an empty letter slot, so he asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I put it in the northwest corner of town, as I usually do.

Julian asked me to make a delivery to Rolf…because he was too shy to do it himself. Julian shy? I never pictured him as the shy type.
I took the item (a metal guitar) to Rolf, and he rewarded me with djimbe drum. It was a music-for-music exchange. At least he didn’t give me beans, beans, the musical fruit…
Rolf later told me he was going to move out of town on June 29th, but of course I made him change his mind.
My recent dream visitors have been Philip from Alamo and Soph from Octavia. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend! I hope to have my New Leaf slideshow (for my 3rd year with the game) up by Sunday or Monday, so stay tuned for that!


Arrested resident RenΓ©e asked me why I was visiting another town in the middle of the night.
After picking up my ladder shades from Isabelle at the event plaza, I realized I didn’t mention where Julian moved in last time. He lives next to Hamlet in the southern part of town. This area was never very populated when Peck lived here. Coincidence? I think not.

Aurora told me she was going to move away on June 26th, but I quickly changed her mind for her.
Over by town hall, Hamlet complimented me on my calves…as my Cavs flag was visible in the corner of the picture I took.
It’s Father’s Day, and I got a letter from Mom about the occasion. She also sent some red carnations with the letter.
I picked up some New Leaf StreetPass hits today…six of them, in fact. It’s quite rare for me to get this many at once!
Copper told me Phineas was in town, and that is always exciting news. I was wondering if I had finally earned the bug-catching or the fish-catching badge. Or maybe even both? But it wasn’t either of those. Instead, I earned the StreetPass Expert badge. Even though the word expert sounds like it must be a gold medal, it’s actually the silver one.
Apparently, that means I’ve had 300 New Leaf StreetPass tags, and I would need 700 more (a total of 1,000) for the gold one. Considering it’s taken me three years to reach 300, it’s quite likely that I will never receive the gold. But I’m okay with that.
