Yesterday, I ran into Resetti in the Roost. He was a pleasure, as always.

Since I had a rare vacancy in town, I stopped into Resident Services and redeemed some Nook Miles for some Nook Miles Tickets. But unlike last time, I wasnât loading up with ten of them. This time, I decided to use no more than five NMTs. And if I didnât find anyone good, then so be it. Iâd risk a random villager.
When I was ready, I headed to the airport and flew to the first mystery island. Sylvia the kangaroo was there.

I donât particularly care for her, so it was easy to pass on my first option. So I quickly bounced.
The 2nd mystery island had my old buddy Teddy!

Iâve been a fan of him since the early GameCube days, when he lived in my town for a while before hopping a train to another town. But did I want him in New Horizons? I wasnât sure, so I thought about it as I banged the multitude of money rocks on the island.

As tempting as it was, I ultimately decided to pass on Teddy this time. But maybe in the future! I headed off to my 3rd mystery island, and I found Merengue the âstrawberry shortcakeâ rhino.

Her horn appears to be an upside-down strawberry, and maybe it was making me hungry. I almost surprised myself when I decided to adopt her. Sheâs not a villager I normally wouldâve thought about taking, but for some reason, it just seemed right. For a long time, Forest had a pink villager in Midge, Marina, and then Midge again. So I guess Merengue fills that role, haha. Or like I said, maybe I was just feeling hungry at the time. She is strangely appetizing. I mean, appealing.
Today, she officially moved into town. Welcome to Forest, Merengue!

Are you surprised I took Merengue? Let me know in the comments below!
Anyway, Flick was in town today, and I sold him 27 bugs for a total of 99,450 bells.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone! Iâll see you next time!
I noticed I found a lost item in Peach Park while I was dreaming to meet June. Can you update your Dream, please? (We can also meet Merengue.)
Yeah, I donât always pass through Peach Park on my daily walk. But yes, I just updated the dream, so you can meet Merengue if youâd like!
In my opinion I wouldâve chosen Teddy but itâs alright! Welcome Merengue!
Congrats on getting merengue.
Thank you!
Another villager that is good enough to eat. Would go better with Tia and Apple more than Ketchup. MMMâŠKetchup Cake.
Yes, thatâs trueâŠIâve had several food-related villagers already! But I think Iâll pass on the ketchup cake.
