Month: November 2018

Boots was talking about two of Forest’s villagers arguing on Monday, and he said something I found a bit odd: “Some guys just don’t know how to argue with women, in a river!” 😛

Today, Big Top pinged me and said it was great to have friends like me (yeah right). But that’s all he said. He had to ping me just to say that??

Iggly the penguin was over at the campsite today, and I said hello. As I’ve mentioned before in this video, Iggly is my favorite Animal Crossing villager whose name begins with the letter I. Not that it’s saying much, since there aren’t very many of those. 😀

Boots asked me to catch a butterfly for him, so I grabbed a tiger butterfly from my dock box. When I handed it to him, he thanked me with a wet-road sign.

So when Bones asked me for some new furniture, I knew just what to give him.

In return, he gave me his picture!!! YES!! Finally! I took it home to look at it; his favorite quote is “A snack a day keeps the vacuum away.” Haha, I like that one!

After I took that screenshot, I put his picture into storage. By the time I got out of my storage, Bones barged into my house!

I hope he wasn’t offended that I didn’t have his pic on display. Anyway, he didn’t stay long, and he even brought me a gift…even if the gift left a sour taste in my mouth.

Now that I have his picture, I’ll probably let Bones move out of town the next time he asks. I like the guy, but he goes to bed so early that I don’t often get a chance to see him.

My latest dream visitor was Ghost from Vinegar. Thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday, Hornsby asked me to dig up his time capsule. I did, and he found a jockey shirt inside. He then gave it to me; no horsing around!

I think this is the last one I have buried in town. Or at least, I hope so.

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, and that means it’s time for the harvest festival! Let’s get cooking!

If you’re not familiar with how the event works in New Leaf, here’s a quick summary. Franklin the turkey is in town, but this time, he’s a chef. He wants to prepare a four-course meal, and he needs your help to gather ingredients. Some can be found around town by picking mushrooms, gathering fruit, or catching fish. Other ingredients will require that you help out neighbors (who need ingredients of their own). Give Franklin the three ingredients for each dish (and optionally, a secret ingredient to make the dish better).

It’s quite a departure from the harvest festival in earlier games. On GameCube and Wii, Franklin was supposed to be the main course instead! In those games, he hid from villagers, and the player’s job was to collect forks and knives to give them to Franklin in exchange for harvest furniture.

Chef Franklin’s first dish today was a mushroom salad. I gathered a flat mushroom, a round mushroom, vinegar, and an apple (as the secret ingredient) to complete the dish. As a reward, he gave me a fruit basket.

Then he wanted to make some soup (bouillabaisse). I caught an olive flounder, red snapper, and sea bass for the dish. The Mouth of Truth Agent S informed me that a lemon was the secret ingredient to make the fish dish great.

Along the way, I noticed four of my villagers gathered around the bridge.

Franklin gave me a harvest wall for completing the soup. The main course for the harvest festival was some pan-fried olive flounder. It required an olive flounder (obviously), flour, a flat mushroom, and some vinegar for the secret ingredient. My reward this time was a harvest lamp.

The last dish was the town’s dessert: apple pie.

I took an apple, some flour, a lemon, and some honey (from a beehive) to Franklin. I successfully completed all dishes, and my final reward was a cornucopia.

Franklin also made a reference to his GameCube and Wii days. 🙂

My recent dream visitors have been Luke from Cow Town, Sarah from Brick, Erik from Listoria, and Luc from Limbo. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving (for those in the U.S.)!

On Thursday, Rolf asked me to dig up his time capsule.

I did, and Rolf found a kiddie clock inside. He then gave me the kiddie clock as my reward for digging up the time capsule.

Aurora asked me for some fruit, and she told me she’d be waiting for it in the river! 😛

When I visited Hornsby, he told me fall doesn’t begin until my craving for ice cream stops. Well, I guess it’s going to be summer forever then. 😀

Today, the fishing tournament was held. It was one of the dreaded single-fish tourneys, so black bass was the only fish that would be accepted. I caught one and handed it to Chip: It measured 21.5 inches, and he told me I was in third place.

But by the time the tournament ended, Big Top had kicked me out of that spot. I didn’t make the podium. Hornsby won first place, and Lolly finished in second.

At Club LOL tonight, K.K. Slider performed “Only Me” for only me…and Cally and Peck. 😛

My recent dream visitors have been Jack from Oakwood, Larissa from Trumelia, Max from Kanto, Chuu from Campanel, and Evan from Owl. Bones also mentioned dreaming of R. J. from Hialeah. Thanks for stopping by!
