Winnie has galloped out of town, as I learned when I got her goodbye letter in the mail today. She ended her letter with “Cheery-bye!” and it really did seem cheery…due to the fact that she wrote it on polka-dot paper. Goodbye letters don’t get any more colorful than this!

Candi was telling me that she never does laundry. In fact, she doesn’t even change her clothes unless someone gives her a new outfit!

I mean, that makes sense in the context of being an NPC in a video game, but I like how the developers have fun with things like that.

At Nookington’s, I saw they had a snappy print shirt for sale. I think this is one of the shirts I used to wear (back in the day), so I bought it and put it on.

In the acre just north of Static’s house, I found a new villager: It’s Pate the duck. She’s alright, I guess. Definitely not of my favorite ducks, but I don’t hate her or anything.

Belle was wondering about the windsocks that appear in early May, asking who puts them up. But it only reminded me that I forgot to play early in the month to see them this year. Oops.

When I dug up today’s glowing spot, I found a rare 30,000-bell bag instead of the usual 1,000 bells. Guess it’s my lucky day! Ka-ching! 💰

I spoke with Ursala while I was standing on the beach, so I was on a lower surface than she was. And then she asked if I’ve grown…when it actually looked as if she was the one that had grown. 😛

Over by the wishing well, Astrid was looking forward to the next fishing tournament. She told me I should start scouting out some good fishing spots, even though it won’t matter. That’s because she was sure that she would be winning the tournament.

She was using Emerald’s catchphrase “sproing,” and yet it works for her too. It sounds like a springy sound effect that a cartoon kangaroo might make when jumping. 🦘 Yay for onomatopoeia. 😛

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll be back again in June. Never Stop Crossing!

I received this letter in the mail from Mom, who just got back from a trip to a hot spring for some alone time with Dad. She said they came back feeling like newlyweds, which is getting into “too much information” territory.

I also got a letter from Huggy, who has moved out of town since last time.

Nearby, I ran into Candi, who wished me a great morning (not a good morning). But she seemed a bit confused about where she was.

When I played last month, I must’ve missed speaking with Static somehow. Because today, he let me know that he hasn’t seen me in two months…and he wasn’t happy about it. 😆

Belle echoed a similar sentiment, even though I did speak with her last month. She’s afraid I’ll take her for granted.

Joan was in town to sell turnips, since it was a Sunday morning. I wasn’t interested in buying any, but I did stop to say hello.

Ursala told me that she wants to dress up and flit around town like a butterfly! She was being more weird than rude, for a change. 😆

Not far from the post office, I found my newest neighbor (and Huggy’s replacement). It’s Winnie the horse, who lived in Forest previously back in 2011. Welcome back, Winnie!

She has the lovely furniture set in her house. I don’t know what I was expecting to find in her house, a ranch maybe? 😆

After circling around town, I picked some apples and went to the shop to sell them. One feature that never gets talked about in this game is the “sell all” option. If you have multiples of the same fruit, you don’t have to select every single one of them. You can just select one and then choose to sell them all.

Admittedly, the usefulness is limited, since we typically will have a variety of things to sell at the shop. (And it only saves a couple seconds anyway.) But it does come in handy if you’re harvesting a lot of fruit, such as when you’re saving up to pay off your debt.

That’s all for this month, but I’ll be back again in May. Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

I received Leigh’s goodbye letter in the mail today. She has flown the coop in search of a grand adventure at KFC.

Candi gave me some free slate flooring, but then she accused me of “sniffing” as I accepted the gift. (I never understood this.) So she got mad at me for some reason. But her catchphrase made her anger funny.

I did push her, but not long enough to make her mad. Well, not any more than she already was, I mean. 😛

Puck said that the weather was so nice today that he wanted to dance the lambada!

I kinda want to see him do it, though I’m not sure if it would be hilarious or horrifying.

Gracie is due to visit Forest soon, and many of my villagers were already swooning. That includes Belle the cow, who even called Gracie a “fashion goddess.”

Just a few steps from Belle, I met my newest neighbor: Huggy the koala. Surprisingly, Huggy has never been mentioned in this blog before. So if she lived here before (and she probably has), it was prior to March 2011.

Over by the wishing well, Hank and Kody were hanging out together…and wearing matching club shirts. It’s definitely appropriate for March, even if St. Patrick’s Day has passed already.🍀

But I accidentally asked Kody for a favor, so I had to fetch his Game Boy from Sydney.

It took me a while to find Sydney, but at least she didn’t send me on a wild goose chase once I tracked her down. She gave me the Game Boy right away.

When I took it back to Kody, he rewarded me with a No. 23 shirt. I’d have rather kept the Game Boy for myself. 😉
