Softened Fruit

Mandrake wasn’t having much luck with softening the green cherry fruit from the heritage tree near the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman tried to explain that Mandrake should use the shallow waters of the wading pool. The next super low tide would be tomorrow; he might return then and look for his softened fruit.

Psst

The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa is home to many lost treasures. While the gang was out foraging Louis was sure that he had found something valuable. “Psst.” He said in sotto voce so as to not awaken the Face of Everyman. “I think I’ve found something.” Of course it turned out to be nothing of value.

Parkour

The extreme European sport of Parkour was making modest inroads into the fabric of the young folks at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman thought it silly to try to jump to high places when, in fact, you could just fly. Many young folks relied upon Frisbee throwing for outdoor entertainment.

Ginger

The Kindly ol’ pensioner always has an interest in new visitors to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Seen above is Ginger making her first social call on the Face of Everyman. A cat of her description has not been seen here abouts for years. The venerable sage was caught a bit off guard by her presence. He forgot to offer tea and biscuits.

4-H

Bizwalt had joined 4-H. His project was a demonstration kitchen garden. The corn was coming up and other grasses were evident. One day, much to his dismay, the Golf Club maintenance crew began a general clean up of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa public grounds. the Face of Everyman tried to commiserate but the youngster was beyond grief.

Talk Therapy

Mid-way through the breeding season marriage counseling became big business for the Face of Everyman. This was the third session for Rocky and Chantilly and they were no closer to agreement than on their first visit to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Mental Health Clinic. Some how the venerable sage talked them into one more session before the inevitable.

Fire Water

After three pieces of fermented corn Uncle Festus became the life of the party. Kernels left from last night’s events quickly became potent fire water after soaking in the warm waters of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. These scenes often embarrassed the Face of Everyman but some passed out birds were too big to move. A myriad of selfies began popping up on social media. What to do? What to do?

Nectar?

The Montietorkie School was to have summer classes as well as serve breakfast and lunch. Calliope wanted to be sure that nectar was available; not the rough seed that others ate. the Face of Everyman hastened to assure her that the Nectar de jure was the finest available thru out the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. This week’s special was Honey Suckle.

Ferris Wheel

The Corvus Family needed a few more tokens to have enough to ride the giant Ferris wheel at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Seen above Dad pokes thru the shallow depths of the wishing well to salvage enough for the ride. the Face of Everyman deplored the act but, accepted the tokens nonetheless.

Panther

Panther used the deep shadows to her advantage. The Killing Fields of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa hadn’t seen a fatality in over three years and it was about time for her to create some excitement. the Face of Everyman called Security and had them escort her from the grounds. She remained persona non grata.
