Velma is gone now, and I got her goodbye letter in the mail yesterday. I was happy to find Velma’s pic attached to the letter!

The quote on Velma’s pic is “Work smarter, not harder.” I believe this is my 21st villager picture (not counting special characters or duplicates).

Dreaming of Clambake

I made a dream visit to Mkay’s town of Clambake (dream address 5100-4022-5551). It’s a pretty town; I especially liked the fountain surrounded by clovers.

There are a lot of trees in Clambake, so it feels like a forest. I stopped to rest (and enjoy the view) at the metal bench near the river. It’s a serene, peaceful place.

The sky was beautiful as I prepared to wake up from my dream.

It’s definitely a nice town to visit, so give it a look if you’re interested!

Back In Forest

And then today, it was raining in Forest. Rolf said I probably didn’t care if it was rain or broccoli falling from the sky! Yes, I care! I don’t want to clean up a bunch of broccoli all over town! And I know Rolf sure isn’t going to eat any veggies!

Velma’s exit opened up a new spot for a former villager to appear on Main Street. And I spotted Kidd there tonight! It’s good to see him once again!

So I lost a goat in town, but gained one on Main Street. Anyway, I stopped in the Dream Suite and Luna told me that Gabriel from Notebook was my most recent dream visitor. Yesterday’s visitor was Morgan from Bakewell.

Dizzy was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him. He flipped as he gulped it down…and yet, I’m still not sure exactly what I’m looking at in this picture. His lower half looks a bit angular, if I’m seeing things right.

Today was Velma’s last day living in town, so I made sure to say goodbye to her.

After changing my hair back at Shampoodle, I went diving in the ocean. I caught a scallop, and that triggered Pascal to pop up and demand it from me. If he’s already underwater, why doesn’t he catch one himself? I gave him the scallop and he left me a barrel in exchange. He also had some words for me, although this wasn’t exactly his usual wise advice.

Merka let me go to her town Bribs to sell some perfect peaches. I had 30 baskets altogether, and I sold them for a total of 810,000 bells. Thanks, Merka!

While I was there, I had a chat with my former villager Drago. He asked what was new in Forest, and I told him we have bread-eating contests now.

I wanted to speak with Kidd too, but he wasn’t home and I didn’t see him around anywhere. But Merka and I went out to the island for a couple tours.

Once we earned enough for the gold awards, I got an axe from Lloid and starting chopping down trees.

After we were done, I put my peach money into the bank. My account balance topped 64.7 million bells.

Later on, Elliott came over to adopt Velma.

Velma confirmed that she’s moving to Forest. Wait, you’re already in Forest! Elliott’s town is also named Forest, so maybe Velma can keep her same address labels.

I hope you enjoy having Velma in your town, Elliott! And good luck to Velma on her new adventure! Just a bit of trivia: It’s been six months since a Forest resident has moved out of town: Tom (unexpectedly) left town back on September 13th.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Evan from Michael was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend, everyone!

I’ve decided to keep the gold roses in my desert area, at least for now. But I have changed the color of the yellow bricks to blend in a bit better with the color of the sand.

I had a chat with Rolf the other night, and I don’t even remember what I said to him. But whatever it was, it really set him off.

Saharah was in town yesterday, and she installed this modern wood wall and chessboard rug in my house.

Agent S was resting on the bench, and she wanted me to keep her company. It was one of those rare moments when I could actually see her eyes through her helmet.

And today, of course, is St. Patrick’s Day. It’s known as Shamrock Day in the game though, and Isabelle could be found wearing green at the event plaza.

She gave me a shamrock hat and insisted that I wear it, so I tried it on. The animals in town will all comment on the hat when you speak to them.

There’s also a face-cutout standee for the holiday at the event plaza. I be a jeffrechaun, and this be me golden bowl of Lucky Charms. Oh wait, I guess a leprechaun shouldn’t sound like a pirate.

I found a lost baggie on the ground and it contained some smuggled shamrocks! Well maybe not; I didn’t actually look inside the bag. But I reunited it with its owner, Molly. She thanked me by giving me her picture.

I hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This is a great day to visit the dream town of Shamrock (dream address 6E00-0026-F069) if you’re in the mood for the color green, four-leaf clovers, and pots of gold. 😛

My recent dream visitors have been Carol from Paradise, Troy from Football, Elliott from Forest, Dorian from Crowbeak, and Pru from Pipton. Thank you all for visiting! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow as I say goodbye to Velma. See you then!
