Bob may be gone, but his patch of purple roses (aka Bob’s garden) has helped me out already by producing a black rose. Thanks, Bob!
I went in Pinky’s house to say hello, and she was talking about my friend Yann. She said Yann was a fish freak.
Over by Nook ‘n’ Go, Melba was getting sarcastic with me.
And in Able Sisters, I tried on a pigtail. It doesn’t particularly look good with my mummy outfit. Or any other outfit, for that matter.
When I went in Blaire’s house, she thanked me for taking medicine to her the other day. She rewarded me with a cabin table. I hope she didn’t drool on it.
My free flower area is really filling up with flowers! Now that I’m only opening my gate once a month, there aren’t many visitors to take them. Hopefully Yann and/or Megan will take a bunch when I open my gate next Friday.
Bob’s replacement has not moved in yet, so I still have nine villagers. Of course I hate Bob being gone…but at least now I don’t have to worry about anyone else leaving. I like a lot of my current villagers, and some of them I would like to keep around (particularly Ribbot and Octavian). But even if one of them left, it wouldn’t be nearly as big a deal to me as Bob was.
Bob’s situation was unique, and it wasn’t just because I liked him as a character. Part of it was that he was around so long, over 90% of Forest’s history. But it was also the people he “met” along the way…old friends of mine. Some of whom are people I may never talk to again. Even though I’ll certainly miss Bob the character, I will miss that link to the past even more.
