Yesterday, I received my monthly bank statement from town hall. I received 61,700 bells of interest for this past month. 💰

I found a new house where Peanut recently lived (on the beach at the eastern wall). So Dotty’s replacement has moved in, and my new neighbor is…Truffles the pig.

She’s definitely not the cutest villager around, but she seems nice so far.

Octavian pinged me and said we should have a secret-friend password. He suggested that I say “freaky,” and he responds with “sasquatch.”

I guess I wasn’t fully paying attention, because I thought he was asking for a catchphrase, not a greeting. So I told him to say “freaky,” since I thought that was one of his suggestions…and he said it sounded weird to him. 😆

Today, I visited Truffles and she reminded me that the first fireworks festival of the year is tomorrow night.

Wild World actually has five fireworks festivals this year! Unfortunately, the later games only have four again (since there are only four Sundays in August this year, but five Saturdays).

Anyway, Truffles told me her secret plan to get close to cute boys during the show. She said that since the fireworks are so loud, she can’t hear what the boy is saying…so she has a good excuse to scoot closer and closer.

Consequently, I don’t plan on playing this weekend. 😆 She’ll have to scoot closer to someone else. 😛

Eloise is my latest villager to get sick with a cold, so I gave her a dose of medicine. Get well soon!

At town hall, I found a blue table in the recycle bin.

Have you ever thought about what Wild World has in common with each of the other Animal Crossing games? It has the most in common with City Folk, of course, but it also has some co-exclusive features with the other games too. Please check out my latest video, which is my 1,000th Youtube video, to find out more:

I’ll be back with another entry next week. Have a great weekend, and Never Stop Crossing!

Yesterday, I was surprised to find a goodbye letter from Dotty in the mail. She moved out without warning.

She lived in Forest for just over a year. I didn’t really want her to leave, but reading her goodbye letter made me not mind so much. 😛

By the shore, I found Pascal. He was telling me about the crazy things people do at the beach…like use metal detectors.

Pascal then handed me a barrel, and jumped into the ocean.

Eloise wanted to compete to see who could catch a darner dragonfly first, and I was up to the challenge. Eloise swore she’d never lose to “a loser” like me.

Except that she did lose. She took my dragonfly and rewarded me with a regal wall. She blamed her loss on her absence of opposable thumbs. 🙄

I caught a flea that was on Drift, and he did not seem to appreciate it.

Over at town hall, I found a gold armor suit in the recycle bin.

Today, I saw what looked like a shark fin in the water. But the fin actually belonged to an ocean sunfish instead. They’re not worth as much as sharks, but it’s still satisfying to pull a fish this big out of the water.

Caroline came down with a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon, Caroline!

I spotted a birdwing (butterfly) near the beach, but it seemed to fly out over the ocean before I could catch it. I tried walking back and forth along the shore to look for it, but then I spotted a banded dragonfly! I chased it down, but I lost it when it flew into a group of trees. It’s disappointing to lose two rare bugs back-to-back like that. But at least I caught that ocean sunfish, I suppose.

See you next week!

Believe it or not, I actually remembered to play on Monday for Caroline’s birthday. 😆 First, I stopped at Nookington’s to buy her a present (an extinguisher). 🧯 Then I went to the party…and Dotty was there too. Last week, Dotty hinted that she was the one throwing the party for Caroline, and maybe she actually did! (Or more likely, it’s just a coincidence, but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.)

Caroline seemed to love the extinguisher, oddly enough. (And if she accidentally starts a fire while lighting her candles, we’ve got that covered.)

It looks like the party was a big success. Happy birthday, Caroline!

Saharah was in town, and I helped her out by making deliveries to Mabel, Pelly, and Tom Nook. Saharah then rewarded me with a western vista.

Yesterday, I listened in on a conversation between Filbert and Octavian. And wow, Filbert is one weird squirrel. He kept telling Octavian to breathe on him.

Octavian obliged, and Filbert said that Octavian smelled like his grandpa. These conversations are so insane. 😆

Octavian then asked Filbert if his grandpa ate liver and onions every day. Well, I guess that explains the mystery. Yuck. 😛

Eloise was still sick on Monday, so I gave her some more medicine. But by yesterday, she was finally feeling better. She thanked me for the help by giving me a broken post.

Today, Filbert was talking about bugs, and how magical they are.

He even said that spiders are like wizards, but with more legs. 🤔 See, I told you this guy is weird. 😛

He wanted to compete to see who could catch a spider first, but I declined. Catching a spider involves shaking trees, usually lots of trees, and probably getting stung by multiple bees in the process. No thanks. Maybe another time.

Nookington’s had an Arwing (from Star Fox) as a spotlight item today, which is cool. But I’ve already bought one before, so I didn’t need it.
