In the world of Animal Crossing, May 1 is Spring Cleaning Day…which is one of those (very) minor holidays. If you catch Tortimer by the wishing well, he will give you a dump model. And that’s about it, other than animals mentioning the fact that it’s Spring Cleaning Day.
I was tired of wearing the mint gingham, so I went in Nook’s and bought a checkered shirt.
Also, early May is when fish-shaped windsocks will be flying where some of the sign posts usually are.
I made my way to the island, where Ankha also referenced it being Spring Cleaning Day. I did the usual Animal Island thing and got two new island items, the life ring and ukulele!
I was about to call it a day when I remembered Gracie was supposed to be in town today. After asking Copper where she is, I went to acre C-4 to wash her car. I know a lot of people have trouble pressing the A button fast enough to clean her car perfectly and get the Gracie fashions, but I do it at least 95% of the time. I guess playing button-mashing games like Mario Party in the past gave me quick fingers. 😛
Anyway, I got the shirt circuit. If I had remembered Gracie would be in town when I first started, I wouldn’t have bought that new shirt from Nookington’s. Oh well.
On the way back from the dock, I checked in with Copper to see of any upcoming events. He told me that Gracie will be in town tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll remember to wash her car. There are still a few Gracie shirts I need for my catalog.
