Today, I had a gem rock for the third day in a row. I was lucky enough to score three gold nuggets, so I took them to Cyrus at Re-Tail. Back outside, I thought I saw Phineas over by the town tree, but it was actually Chip.
The fishing tournament was today, and he told me that any kind of fish will be accepted. The bigger, the better. But I was going to finish making my rounds before I went fishing. Along the way, I spotted new home construction! I’m getting a 10th villager tomorrow, Skye!
I thought a tenth villager had to be a camper or from a StreetPass. But Skye wasn’t a camper, and I haven’t had a StreetPass in almost a month. I suppose it could still be from that StreetPass, but I should know for sure tomorrow.
Many of the animals around town were talking about the fishing tournament. That includes Tabby, who just let a big one slip through her hands.
I got my motherly statue back in the mail from Crazy Redd. And to my surprise, it was real! This is why I always think it’s worth the risk unless you’re 100% sure.

After identifying and selling my fossils, I had earned enough money to fully pay off my house! I was so excited that I took the picture a bit early!
I then returned to Tom Nook. He said I deserved a reward for fully paying off my house. He said I deserve a song. That he sang. To me.
He said it was in the language of his ancestors, which was Raccoonish, naturally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s nice and all. But where’s my real reward? He didn’t mention anything else, which is a bit unnerving. But perhaps he will tell me tomorrow. On GameCube, he would build you a statue near the train station when you fully repaid your loans. And in City Folk, he would add a flagpole to your house. I believe both of them only appeared the day after making your final payment, so hopefully he will have something for me tomorrow.
When I updated my dream town, I saw that Clayton from Lebanon was my most recent dream visitor. Hello, Clayton!
With all my Main Street errands completed, it was time to do some fishing. I caught several sea bass, with my best one measuring in at 36.65 inches. Chip rewarded me with a scoreboard for taking over the top spot.
That score held up, and I won the tournament! Rolf won second place, and Aurora got third place. Tabby was nowhere to be found.
After 8:00, I went up to Club LOL to hear K.K. perform. I asked for a random song, and he played “To the Edge.”
That song almost took me to the edge. I don’t care for it. I then returned home, and saw that I had mail. That’s odd to get mail on a Saturday night. But it was from K.K.! He sent me his picture!
That’s all for tonight, but I’ll be back tomorrow. I’ll see what reward (if any) I got from Tom Nook, I’ll meet my new neighbor Skye, and who knows what else tomorrow will bring. Hope to see you then!
