Squirrel Swap

On Wednesday, I was quite surprised to find a goodbye letter from Peanut in the mail.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a villager move out without warning (Mitzi was the last one, in February). And like Mitzi, Peanut had become one of my favorites. Peanut was probably my #2 in town, behind Bones, in fact. She grew on me a lot during her 3-year stay. I’m sad to see her go.

I also received a letter from the postal division at town hall, telling me I earned 58,200 bells of interest this month.

When I visited Tank, he was flattered that I visited him so late at night…even though it was only 6 p.m.! He also said he thought I’d appreciate the musk of his room? He’s an odd dude sometimes.

Yesterday, I found a new house in town. Peanut’s replacement has moved in already?! Another squirrel was inside, Filbert. He’s not bad, but he’s no Peanut.

Today, I got to see the inside of Filbert’s house now that he is fully unpacked. He has some kiddie furniture, a couple of cacti, a couple of gyroids, a robo-dresser, a satellite, and a TV.

Drift asked me to deliver a letter to Tank, and I agreed to help out. Tank really enjoyed the letter, even saying that Drift should be a stand-up comic!

He showed me the letter, and I didn’t exactly agree with his assessment.

Oh well. At least Tank enjoyed it. Drift later rewarded me with 510 bells. What a surprise.

Of course, it’s June now…so many summer bugs are now available. I caught my first goliath beetle of the year tonight. Good luck if you’re out there bug hunting!

At town hall, I found a train set in the recycle bin. Finding furniture here seems less common than it does in City Folk, but I’ll gladly take some free items once in a while!

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time!
