Mother’s Day

Today is Mother’s Day in America, and I got this letter from Mom in the mail.

Dear Jeff, Your dad actually helped me with the housework today. If only it could always be like this. It's Mother's Day! -MomShe also attached some pink carnations to the letter. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there! 🙂

There was a meteor shower in the skies above town tonight, so I stopped by my bridge to look up and wish on a few shooting stars. 🙂

Wishing on shooting stars.Peck’s recent exit opened up a new spot on Main Street for a former villager to start appearing. That villager was none other than Octavian!

Octavian: Confession time: I came by because I was missing Forest. Isn't that just like me?It was good to see him again. After eight firm handshakes, he told me he might pop into the museum later on. I bet he wants to slip into the aquarium and go for a swim!

Octavian: I imagine the museum is still open, so maybe I'll pop my head in later.

My recent dream visitors have been Tim from Forest and Xavier from Quigley. Thanks for visiting! And I hope you all had a nice Mother’s Day. 🙂 See you next time!

Not Happy About Hippeux

The bad part about only having eight villagers is that you can get random move-ins. And that’s what happened; I found a house plot for Hippeux the hippo yesterday.

The plot for Hippeux's new house.The good news is that it’s in a good location. It’s close to the lighthouse and no roses or paths were disturbed.

His house was built overnight, and I went in to meet him today. This is where the bad news comes in. Yikes…

Hippeux: I just moved here. I'm Hippeux, and here's the one thing to know about me. I like cafe au lait.
I was not saying hip, hip, hooray, that’s for sure.

I miss Peck already. Facing the reality that Forest was now home to both Elise and this new hippo thing, I decided I’d rather live in a dream world. So I headed to the town of Kefton, which Tom recommended to me. The dream address is 4800-2342-0401 (update: it’s now 4E00-0023-C552). While the town itself isn’t amazing, the home of the mayor (SiO) has some very unique rooms…including a rainbow of beds.

Rainbow beds.The house also has a complete chess set and this golden throne room. I’ve seen throne rooms before…but not like this!

Throne room full of golden toilets.And then there was this room. Wheat for it…

Wheat and watermelon room.I don’t even know what in the world this is. Is it a face? Why the watermelon chairs? It’s just so bizarre…but it’s unique. After visiting tons of dream towns, I’ve grown to appreciate uniqueness as much as beauty. Even pretty towns start to look the same after you’ve seen so many of them.

After I was done in Kefton, I also visited Ola’s dream town of Twinkle (dream address 6100-4757-6993). I just wanted to share a picture of this colorful brick path that I particularly liked.

Rainbow brick path in Twinkle.See you all next time. Have a good weekend!

UPDATE: Just realized I forgot to include Peck’s goodbye letter that I received on Wednesday. Here it is:

Peck's goodbye letter.

Peck Packed & Pucchin

Today was Peck’s last day in Forest, so I made sure to say goodbye to him.

Peck: Heh heh! As you can probably tell by looking, I'm moving out!
Did you pack up your body too?

If Peck packed purple pajamas, plaid pedal pushers, and pastel panties, precisely how many pairs of pants did Peck probably pack?

Not much else was going on in town, so I headed up to the Dream Suite. I dreamed of Marcus’ town of Pucchin (dream address 5800-4155-0731). Between the paths, the flowers, and the cherry blossoms, it’s a gorgeous town!

Fountain and flowers in Pucchin.There are lots of fountains here–even a drinking fountain! 😛 I stopped for a drink of water.

Drinking fountain in Pucchin.And then I took a little nap!

Taking a nap in Pucchin.I even visited Stonehenge!

Visiting Stonehenge in Pucchin.It’s a really beautiful town. The dream address again is 5800-4155-0731 if you want to check it out for yourself.

After I woke up from my dream, Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Matthew from Floraton.

A bit later, Isaiah from Palm Bay came over to adopt Peck.

Isaiah stopped over.We headed down to Peck’s house and they had a little chat.

Isaiah speaks with Peck.When they were done, Peck confirmed that he’s moving to Palm Bay. I hope you enjoy having him in your town, Isaiah!

Peck: I'm going to move to a place called Palm Bay!
