Tabby sent me a goodbye letter in the mail today. That’s the good news. The bad news? She included a picture of herself! Please don’t.
As if I’d ever be able to forget that face. I should be so lucky.
My pockets kept filling up, so I went to unload my money bags (from my peaches yesterday) at the post office bank. My account topped six million bells for the first time.
When I returned to town, Kidd offered me a nice painting for 7,056 bells. I didn’t have that one in my museum, so I took a chance on it.
The gamble paid off, because the painting was real! I quickly donated it.
Main Street got a bit uglier today, as Katt has now joined the circus of Forest rejects who populate the shopping district.
And in the cafe, Tia came in and told me she’d have her usual order. This is the first time you’ve been in here! Besides, I thought you’d be more of a tea drinker…
It was a clear day in town, but…it’s still January. So I was a bit surprised when Skye said she wanted to go sunbathing.
I made a snowboy, and again I failed at it. The snowboys seem to be the hardest of the snowpeople to make correctly. At least for me.
I went down to the beach (not for sunbathing) and I saw Gulliver. I woke him up and determined he was headed to Denmark. He couldn’t wait to see the mermaids there.
I checked out a StreetPass house at the Happy Homes Academy and it was quite impressive, especially the church room. I later visited the dream town and loved it. It will likely be a future Dream Suite Adventure.
At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. At first, Patty was the only visitor. But by a quarter after, Saarah and Hazael also came over. We headed off to the island as the Northern Lights glowed in the skies overhead.
Patty needed a wet suit, so she was excited to see that the island shop had two of them available.
We did several hide-and-seek tours, as well as some bug-catching and fishing tours.
After about six tours total, Patty bought herself a wet suit and we returned to Forest. Patty went to meet Tia and then she left for the night.
At this point, Roman and Jessica were trying to come in, but they weren’t able to connect. So the three of us that remained tried doing some glitching. Saarah was helping me do the net glitch (walking very slowly holding the net to get onto places you’re not supposed to walk). I eventually got the hang of it, and we all got onto the train tracks. I’ve been on the tracks before, but using a different method.
We walked over to the bridge, and then did the glitch again to get down onto the water.
We then did it one more time to get into the abyss. Nothingness. It’s like being inside Tabby’s head.
Hazael got separated from Saarah and me somewhere along the way. But I made my way across the ocean and then up onto the cliffs at the northern part of town.
By midnight or so, I was all glitched out and I called it a night. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Then today, Tammy sent me a very urgent letter. It’s a matter of L and D!
And today was Tabby’s last day in town! 😀 How sad! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 She was telling me to try to enjoy life in Forest without her! Ha! 😀
I had to do a little happy dance. ♪ Ding dong, the witch is dead. ♪
I tried building a snowboy, but I didn’t make him right. So he won’t be sending me any snowman furniture.
Tom invited me over to his town to get his bingo numbers for the day, so I headed off to Tomville. While I was there, Tom told me that Re-Tail’s item of the day was perfect peaches!
I happened to have 7 bunches of perfect peaches (63 peaches total) in storage! So I got them out of the lockers at the train station and sold them all for 378,000 bells!
Between the turnips yesterday and the perfect peaches today, I’ve had quite a lucrative week!
Then today, I went to the island again and I caught my first birdwing butterfly!
I compared my New Leaf bug encyclopedia to my one in City Folk, and it seems the other bug I need is a pondskater. But since the island has no ponds, I’ll have to wait until summer to complete my bug collection. But for now, I donated the birdwing to the museum and then went to Re-Tail to check my turnip prices. I was quite surprised to see this:
504 bells for turnips! Yessss! I sold all 1,000 of my turnips and scored half a million bells! Sweet!
Back outside, I saw Aurora on my metal bench and I stopped to take a quick break.
Soon after that, I saw Phineas! He gave me the Amateur Turnip Trader badge!
So here is a current look at my badges:
Everything seemed to be going great today. But my good luck wasn’t over yet. I went up to my snowman and rolled his eyes. The result was #19, which gave me a bingo!
As a reward, he gave me this slalom gate.
And if that wasn’t enough, Teddy suggested a new public works project! It’s just for an instrument shelter, though.
I have no plans of putting it in my town, but I’m still happy to have it added to my list of available projects.
Of course, I had a new villager in town today too. I went in to meet Tia the elephant.
If she wasn’t so heavy, I’d be tempted to tip her over and pour her out. She came from Theoria, and I have no idea where that is. I’m guessing it must be from a StreetPass. At least she’s better than my last StreetPass villager (Tammy).
This evening, Molly asked me for some furniture to replace her TV. I tried giving her different things, but apparently it needed to be furniture that can be placed on something else. I didn’t have anything that fit that description, so I caught a fish for her. She liked it enough to give me her picture again. Big Top, take note of this please.
And last but not least, one other good thing is knowing that tomorrow will be Tabby’s last day in town! She came into the cafe for coffee today, and I purposely made her coffee wrong. She said “BLECHHH!,” but I accidentally pressed the A button too fast and didn’t take a picture in time. But I made sure her last cup of coffee was a bad one.
