On January 26th (the day after I posted my last entry), my snowman rolled a #31 for me. That gave me my long-awaited first bingo of the winter!

For completing my bingo card, he rewarded me with a snowmobile. Snowman bingo is fun and all, but after all that work, I basically retired from snowman bingo for the rest of the winter. It just takes sooooo long to get a single item. 😛

Three days later, Cube was celebrating his birthday with fellow penguin Aurora. I gave him that same snowmobile as a birthday present.

He seemed to enjoy it, and he had a nice party.

Yesterday (Thursday, Feb. 16th), Jeremiah asked me to collect signatures for a petition, “We Need a Town Snack Bar.” Since I knew Beth has been actively playing, I asked her if I could collect signatures in her town. She said yes, so I headed over to Cassia! My former villager Agent S was the first signature I got.

It only took a few minutes to collect all of the other signatures I needed. Julian (but not my former Julian) completed the list.

I returned the petition to Jeremiah, and he rewarded me with a soda fountain.

Festivale is coming up on Monday, and some of my villagers are looking forward to it. That included Aurora.

And if you’re wondering why her eye looks funny, it’s just awkward placement of her simple kettle. It looks like her eyes are open there, but they’re actually closed. 😆

If you need any help with Festivale, or a reminder of how it works in New Leaf, check out my Festivale Guide to answer all your questions. 🙂

I found an igloo at the campsite today, perhaps for the last time (since the snow will be melting on February 25th).

Bruce the deer was inside, and I politely said hello.

Jeremiah asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and I accepted the challenge. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Cube, and Lolly. I found Lolly behind a tree (near the illuminated clock) almost immediately, and I saw Jeremiah behind Inkwell’s house soon after.

So after just 40 seconds, I was two-thirds of the way to victory. While Cube took me a bit longer, I still had over 11 minutes remaining on the timer when I found him behind his own house!

For winning the game, he rewarded me with his stool.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Mario ID from Nook Inc, Kristen from Red Deer, and Ko from Forest. Thanks for stopping by! See you all next time. 🙂

Earlier this month, my former villager Agent S (who moved out last July) has shown up again in Beth’s new town, Cassia! I went over to visit her. 🙂

Beth also visited my town, and she fell for the oldest trick in the book: The pitfall behind the face-cutout standee. 😉

While she was over, I checked the igloo and saw that Tucker was camping in Forest.

At GracieGrace, Beth and I appeared to come out of the stairway at the same time, and yet she was already talking to Gracie. 😆

Last Friday, I built a perfect snowboy; he sent me a snowman bed in the mail. And on Sunday, I made my first (bingo) snowman in a long time. His friend code number was 4.

Cube was looking forward to the warmer weather of spring, but he sure expressed it in a curious manner.

Beth and I went out to the island and went on a couple of tours: one balloon-popping tour and a bug-catching tour.

When we came back, I buried a pitfall seed for Beth. It didn’t quite work, because she simply dug it up. But when she tried to bury it for me instead, it backfired, and she fell in! 😉

On Monday, Kitty was camping out in town. I’m not a big fan of Kitty, so I hope this is the last time I see her in Forest.

Yesterday, I had yet another camper: Freckles. She’s a big improvement over Kitty, but I’m not interested in her either.

Poor Lolly fell into the daily random pitfall. Oh no! 🙁

Beth and I have been exchanging bingo numbers lately, and we stopped briefly to sit on the bench last night.

I found Cherry at the museum, and she was being rather dark. 😛

Today, I got a triple ding from my Snowman (meaning I’m one number away from a bingo in three different ways). Oof.

Later on, I even got a quadruple ding and a quintuple ding, even though the snowmen don’t recognize anything higher than a triple. (1st and 4th rows, 4th column, and both diagonals).

Bingo can be fun, but it can also be frustrating at times. At least Beth had some better luck, and she scored a bingo in Forest tonight. 😀

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Justin from Onett, Matthew from Mistgulf, Owen from Brenton, and Celeste from Lemonina. Thanks for stopping by!

See you all next time! 🙂

Today is New Year’s Day, and I headed over to the event plaza to meet up with Isabelle. She gave me a zodiac rabbit to celebrate 2023 being the year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac.

I took it home to take a close look at it; it’s pretty cute!

Meanwhile, Hornsby wanted to start off 2023 with a nap. Not a bad idea!

My friend Beth started off the new year by making a new town, called Cassia. I took the train over for a visit, my first time playing multiplayer in years!

Her town obviously doesn’t have much to see yet, and most of her villagers aren’t that great–except for Fauna, who was already asleep. But I checked out the town, and also the drive-in campground (where we tried to stay warm by the campfire).

Pavé was visiting, so we checked out his RV…and scared him repeatedly by honking the horn. 😛

I also did the Shrunk Funk Shuffle in Beth’s tent, and she could only watch helplessly. She has a long way to go before she unlocks it herself. 😛

Back in Forest, Luna told me that Wyatt from Sunville was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great 2023, everyone! See you all next time! 🙂
