Candy Cane Lane

Today’s toy at Nook’s Cranny was an RC helicopter. I bought two of them to give as gifts (for Midge and Agent S).

Tommy: Seems like you're interested in an RC helicopter.

When I ran into Bones, he gave me a free standing toilet that he thought I was looking for. Thanks, Bones! I wasn’t looking for one though, because I normally just go on Rizzo’s house. 😛

Bones: Anyway, I found that thing you were looking for. Ya know...the, um... the standing toilet?

Gulliver was in town today, washed up on the shore. I dug up his five communicator pieces for him, and he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

I found a lost book up on the cliff, so I investigated further. It was a difficult novel that “only a voracious reader” would read.

This novel looks really difficult. It's the kind of book only a voracious reader would think to pick up.

I thought of Midge, since I often see her reading. But when I asked her about it, she told me it looked like Tia’s book. So I took it to Tia, and she rewarded me with some alpinist overalls.

I then decided to do something with the large, “tall” chunk of land that’s been sitting empty since I took out the Halloween race. I’m not ready to start a new race or obstacle course, but since we’re a few days into December now, I wanted to do something festive. So I put in a really big candy cane! I call it Candy Cane Lane.

It’s so big that you can see it from space! OK, well maybe not space, but you can certainly see it from the map. 😉

The map of Forest Island as of December 3, 2020.

For the record, I wouldn’t be opposed to making a Christmas-themed race or obstacle course…but the problem is that we don’t have any Christmas items and decorations yet. And by the time we do get them (on Christmas Eve, most likely), the holiday season will be nearly over.

While looking at my map above, I noticed something else. The three villagers that haven’t given me their photos yet are the three that have been in town longest! Louie, Midge, and Agent S! I hope there’s not a glitch or anything that’s preventing them from giving me their photos. Probably not, but it does seem odd that I get newer villagers’ pictures first.

See you next time! 🙂
