Harry’s Vital Mission

The snowman I built last week sent me a snowman chair in the mail. ☃️

But the snow on the ground will be gone in just a week. So I decided to buy this grass shirt at Able Sisters to celebrate the imminent return of green grass.

Mabel: Oh, that looks absolutely perfect on you! Shall I wrap it up?

Fortunately, I remembered to put my New Year’s shirt in my house. I’m always afraid I’m going to sell it accidentally, like I apparently did with the first one in 2009.

Harry asked me to deliver a gift to Tom, and I agreed to help out.

Harry: Aha! You could handle this with your eyes closed... But you'd bump into stuff. I've got a vital mission for you!

The item turned out to be some palace tile (flooring), and Tom appreciated it. When I returned to Harry and told him the news, he rewarded me with some kitchen flooring. Why is he giving away so much flooring?

Later on tonight, the northern lights appeared in town. I normally seem to pose for aurora photos on a bridge or near a waterfall, but I decided to do something a bit different this time. I took photos near Nook ‘n’ Go and the museum.

The lights are pretty, and this might be my last time seeing them for the season.

But while I was at the museum, I also dropped in for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Blues for me (and Hopper).

K.K. Slider plays for Jeff and Hopper.

Note: Gaston’s replacement has not moved in yet.

Festivale is coming up on Monday! Do you plan on participating? I’m not sure if I will or not, but I’m considering it.

A Wet Cold

Today, I received Gaston’s goodbye letter in the mail. So long, Mr. Mustache.

Jeff, Thanks for being here for me. I'm a better animal for knowing you. I'm leaving Forest behind, but I'll be thinking of you in my new home! -Your pal, Gaston

My next-door neighbor Lobo was hanging out around my house, and he commented on the cold (and snowy) weather. He said at least it’s a wet cold. 😆

Lobo: It may be cold, but at least it's a wet cold, ah-rooooo.

The snow flurries must have put me in a snowman-building mood, because I decided to roll up two snowballs to make this guy. He’ll be sending me a reward in the mail.

Snowman: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn... Oh, I've just woken from the most exquisite sleep. But...what's this?

I don’t normally run into Pete very often, but I did today. So I stopped to have a brief chat with him.

Pete: Hey, have you ever written a love letter?

Unfortunately, Queenie was sick with a cold today. But I gave her some medicine that I had with me. Get well soon, Queenie!

Queenie: I'm either wearing an outfit that clashes with my skin tone...or I have a horrible cold, awwwk!!!!.

I saw a large fish shadow in the sea, and I thought it might be a coelacanth since it was snowing. It turned out to be a tuna instead, but that’s not a bad catch either. 😎

I caught a tuna! I only wish I'd caught it soona!

I finished my day with a bus ride out to the city. Phineas was there, and he gave me a red bunny balloon. 🙂

Minus One Mustache

Over by town hall tonight, I noticed two of my crankies (Roscoe and Lobo) were both wearing checkered shirts. They can play board games without the board now. 😛

I was disappointed when I walked into Gaston’s house, and saw that he’s moving out. Yes, I do need cranky villagers to leave, but Gaston is one I’d rather keep a while. I know he’s not very popular (and he’s not exactly the cutest villager), but he and his mustache have grown on me over the years.

Gaston: Whoa, is that boss?
He should use his dice shirt to play games with Roscoe and Lobo. 😉

My only current cranky that I like more is Tom…and I found him at the Roost tonight. He was enjoying some coffee, as I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed Surfin’ K.K. for me (and Tom).

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Surfin' K.K..

After the show, the next villager I spoke with was Queenie. She said she was going to buy a collection of surf rock music! What a coincidence! She should’ve come to K.K.’s show tonight!

Queenie: I'm going to buy that surf rock music collection I've wanted!

She thought some surf rock will spice things up, since we don’t have any events coming up for a while.

See you all next time!
