Month: February 2023

Yesterday, I was very, very disappointed to find a goodbye letter from Bob in the mail. He left without warning. 🙁

That means my last moment with Bob was seeing him fall into a pitfall last week. Oof. I’ll miss him, but I’m sure we’ll meet again in one game or another.

Over at the shop, it was apparently Dharma Day. 😛 They had a regular dharma and a giant dharma up for sale. I checked my catalog, but I didn’t need either of them.

Today, I received a very different letter in the mail. It was from Mom, and she said she saw a limping pigeon that reminded her of me. Thanks, Mom.

I already found a new house behind mine, where Kiki used to live. Inside, I found Anchovy the fish bird.

He’s okay, but he’s definitely no Bob. However, he’s fortunate that I don’t like anchovies on pizza. 😉

When I visited Mitzi, she wondered what it would be like if she had a best friend in town. Aww, poor Mitzi. 🙁

She even wondered if her theoretical best friend would be a cat like her.

I dug up all three fossils today, so I decided to give one of them (a pachy skull) to Butch. (He’s been bugging me for fossils lately.) He appreciated it, and he gave me a blue vase in return.

On Wednesday, I witnessed Goose falling into a pitfall behind my house. 😆 It was a random pitfall (not one that I buried), but it was funny to see him take a fall.

Moments later, Mitzi pinged me and gave me her picture! …Or yarn.

I placed the photo in my house, and Mitzi’s favorite quote is “Sometimes I think I’m the only sane one around.”

When I visited Bob, he asked if I’ve eaten fruit salad. He said that it could compete for the top spot in his “Gut Rankings.” There’s gut to be a better name for a list of favorite foods. 😛

Today, there was a new “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board. It was talking about classical music, and the difference between allegro, andante, …and al dente. 😆

Dr. Shrunk was in town, and I told him I’d like to learn the emotion of contentment. He said that we all wear masks, and we must break free of them.

He then started smiling real big, and I tapped the screen to learn the emotion. I chose to replace “scheming” with contentment.

The random daily pitfall claimed another victim today: Bob!

It’s dangerous out there! Be careful! 🙂

This is the week of the Bright Nights festival!

All of the villagers’ houses, along with many of the cedar trees in town, are decorated with festive lights. It may not make a lot of sense, but the lights are pretty, and they brighten up these otherwise bleak winter nights.

Over near town hall, Butch was overconfident that he was going to win.

Even though the festival was dominating discussions around town, not everyone was obsessed with it. Eloise was more concerned with her dry skin. 😛

But she told me a home remedy that works for her: Waldorf salad. On her face. It sounds a bit nutty to me, but she swears by it.

Bones was finally over his cold, and he thanked me for the medicine by giving me an ornate wall.

After checking out all of the decorated houses, I decided that Wolfgang’s looked the best. He has some decorated cedar trees near his house that added to the appeal. (Even if the narrow camera viewpoint prevents a good look at the whole area.)

So I returned to Tortimer to tell him my choice.

I spoke with Wolfgang again, and he acknowledged my choice.

Bright Nights continue through Sunday night, so you still have several more days to check them out for yourself.

See you all next time! 🙂
