Summer Solstice 2018

The day after Bob left, I got his goodbye letter in the mail. Of course, he included his picture along with the letter. And now that Bob is gone, a new former resident has started appearing on Main Street…Julian the unicorn.

Julian: Oh! What a surprise... Nice to see you again, Jeff!

Now that I have nine villagers instead of ten, I’m able to adopt a camper from the campsite if I choose. But the first camper since Bob’s departure was Clyde the horse. I don’t really care for him, and besides, I already have him in my ACCF town.

Clyde: Hey! Are you from this town?
No, I just walk around Forest every day for the fun of it.

When I saw Big Top, he had one thing on his mind:

Big Top: Would you ever consider selling your portable toilet to me? Up my nose?

Anytime an elephant asks for a toilet, you give it to him. I sure wouldn’t want to clean up what he’d leave on the ground otherwise!

I visited Bones yesterday, and he was mad at me. Apparently, I haven’t been talking to him very much. I guess that means I’m in his doghouse.

Bones: I don't like being ignored! If you see me around, say hi! After all, it's only polite.
It’s not my fault you’re never around, dog gone it!

But I did give him a perfect orange when he asked me for fruit. He really liked it, and he rewarded me with a Spaceman Sam.

Today is the summer solstice, the day that the sun never sets!

Hornsby: Today's the summer solstice! That means the sun is gonna stay out all night, skippy!

Off-topic mini-rant: I wish I could get a nice sunny day like this in ACCF. I’ve been trying to record a City Folk video since Sunday, but I’m waiting for a sunny day and there hasn’t been one yet. Just clouds and rain!

Isabelle was over at the event plaza, handing out ladder shades for the occasion.

Isabelle: They're ladder shades!

There was also a face-cutout standee, where you can be the sun or a sunflower. I was sticking my face through the sun hole, shining as bright as I could, when…

Itchy itchy ITCHY! I got bit by a mosquito...

Ouch! How can a mosquito even reach the sun? Come on!

I recently made a new design showing some party balloons. If you’d like to use it in New Leaf or Happy Home Designer, just scan this. It’s also available on the QR Codes page.

My recent dream visitors have been Jasmine from Mars, Joshua from Astoria, Samaya from Luceford, Luma from JackCity, Lola from Forestia, Nikki from Elocin, Veronica from Rainbow, Xavier from Quigley, and Wayland from Waypoint.

Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time!

So Long, Bob

Today was Bob’s moving day, so we said goodbye. Or at least “so long.”

Bob: Thanks for everything! I'm not going to say good-bye, 'cause I hope we'll see each other again.

Bob: I'll just say so long!
So long, Bob. Let’s meet again on Switch.

Hornsby asked me for some new furniture, so I gave him a Mouth of Truth. He thanked me and gave me a portable toilet. Yay, now I can go on the go.

Hornsby: It's a portable toilet! Thank you, skippy!

Squishy was going to adopt Bob, but she had some internet trouble tonight. So I posted on Twitter to find someone else to take Bob, and Kat from Clover came over to adopt him. I hope you enjoy having Bob in your town, Kat!

Bob: I'm moving to Clover!

Later, Hornsby asked me to make a delivery to Rolf. The gift was a blue flannel shirt, and Rolf put it on right away. He rewarded me with his picture (which I’ve received multiple times before).

Rolf: It's Rolf's pic!

My recent dream visitors have been Matt from AC Ville, Madison from Springs, and Kido from Keksdee. Thanks for visiting the dream version of Forest!

Nintendo’s E3 conference is tomorrow. Will we finally get news of a real follow-up to New Leaf? I sure hope so!

Still Adjusting

On Wednesday, Hornsby told me he wanted me to dig up his time capsule.

Hornsby: I'm thinking it might be about time to open up that time capsule you buried.

I grabbed my shovel, dug it up, and returned to the blue rhino. It had a red-bar shirt inside, and that was the reward that Hornsby gave me. Time capsules are more work than a typical delivery, so they should have better prizes than just clothing, in my opinion.

Meanwhile, I’m having trouble adjusting to the beautiful town ordinance. More often than not, the store is already closed by the time I play. So my pockets fill up, and item management becomes a chore.

Re-Tail: We're closed at the moment. (Open 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m.)

And I forgot that villagers go to sleep earlier too, which is also quite annoying. I still need Bones’ picture, and he goes to sleep so early! Most days I don’t even see him.

Last night, Bob told me that he’s planning on moving out of town on June 11th. That’s Monday!

Bob: I'm leaving on the 11th of this month!

I’ve decided to let him go, and I plan on letting Squishy adopt him.

After selling some things today, I put my money in the bank. My account balance reached 108 million bells.

Your current balance is 108,000,000 bells.

When I visited Bones, he told me that he hasn’t been practicing his metal guitar lately. Now that, I’d like to see! I haven’t seen a dog playing the guitar since…oh, well, since K.K. Slider every Saturday night. Nevermind. 😛 But I’d still like to see Bones play!

Bones: I haven't been practicing my metal guitar as much as I should.

He wants to get better so he can start busking.

Bones: I really wanna be able to start busking, ice cube.

Today is the 5-year anniversary of New Leaf’s release in America! If you got the game on that first day, remember to play today to pick up your sapling clock! Unless you already got it last year and don’t want another one, of course. 😛

My recent dream visitors have been Elliott from Forest, Toad from Artland, Keelan from Alook, Teren from SmolTown, and Mia from Arcadia. Thanks for stopping by!
