I got some good news in the mail today: Tabby has left town! 🙂

When I ran into Genji, he reminded me that the fishing tourney is coming up soon. Actually, a bunch of fishing tourneys are coming up: One is held every Sunday in June. (The same thing happens in November, too.)

Puck was also talking about the tournament, and he warned me that he views me as a rival until he wins.

Carmen was nagging me about paying back my debt to Tom Nook. She even called me a burden to society! 😮

Time to go buy a mousetrap.

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, and he gave me a Chinese lion.

I visited Tom, and he wondered where I had been lately. So naturally, he assumed that I got arrested for smuggling exotic fruit. 😂

That actually reminded me of New Leaf, when Squishy used to bring her oranges to my town to sell them for a better price. I joked that she was smuggling oranges. 🍊

In the southwest part of town, I found Tabby’s replacement: It was Rio! She’s my favorite ostrich, and I almost added her to my New Horizons island recently. But I’m glad I got her here!

Unfortunately, she didn’t wait long to ask about my Chinese lion…under the guise of recycling.

She wanted to trade it for a rose wall. Even though I didn’t want to stick my neck out, I declined the offer. But still, I hope Rio stays in town a while.

Yesterday, I received a goodbye letter from Truffles the pig. I was as happy as a pig in mud to see her leave. 😛

But the good vibes ended quickly when I saw who replaced Truffles. It was Tabby!

April has not been kind to my Animal Crossing towns in terms of new villagers. I got Tabby in this game, Marcel in City Folk, and Beardo in New Horizons. Yikes.

If there’s any consolation, it’s that Tabby probably won’t stick around very long. 🤞

When I spoke to Genji, he said that all the trees in town are filled with happiness and sunshine. I think he’s been watching too much Bob Ross lately. 😂

At Nookington’s, I bought a paw shirt…and nine other items. Actually I just wanted some raffle tickets. Then today, I returned to use those raffle tickets. Tom Nook had some good prizes, especially that Arwing!

One of my entries was a blue ball, so I won a samurai suit. Even though I don’t necessarily need the prizes, it’s fun to participate (and especially win) the raffles once in a while. 🙂

A treasure hunt was also underway, and I found the prize: a frog woman pole. 🐸👩💈

Tabby twice tried to sell me turnips she didn’t really have, but I didn’t fall for her tricks.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

I received a goodbye letter in the mail today: Pippy has squeaked out of town.

I quickly found her replacement just one acre to the south: It’s Truffles the pig. I’m not a fan of pig villagers in general, and Truffles is one the uglier pigs in the series. Well, at least she probably won’t stick around long.

When I visited Carmen, she had some really mean things to say about Gracie (who is supposed to visit town soon). She even said Gracie has a face like a horse!

This is some dialogue that I did not include in my recent Villagers Insulting Special Characters video. Well, maybe I’ll make a Part 2 someday.

Ursala told me that she was planning on going on a picnic with her boyfriend next week.

She wanted to know if muffins and apple juice were a good combination. Sounds good to me!

Genji asked if I wanted to be the manager of his tumbling team, and I turned down the offer. He said maybe tumbling isn’t very popular, but he put an extra space in between the words “isn’t” and “very.” Not a big deal of course, but I noticed it. 😛

Puck was looking forward to the Cherry Blossom Festival coming up in early April. I usually check it out each year, since it is a 3-day event (unlike most events in the game). So perhaps I will again. 🌸

I didn’t get to speak to Emerald or Sydney tonight, because they were already in bed by 9 p.m.

Have a good day (or night), and I’ll see you all next time!
