Lost

Stanley was clearly lost.  No matter which path he took in the vast forests of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa he returned to the same spot.  His people had reported his MIA on social media and scattered accounts of his whereabouts were exchanged.  the Face of Everyman agreed to make one more attempt the restore him to his people.IMG_0380 (2)

Neowise

It was to be the Sky Party of the year at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Instead it turned out to be a disaster.  Clouds obscured the viewing of the comet, a blossom covered the good eye of the Face of Everyman, and Elmer was left with a severe crick in his neck.  IMG_0514 (2)

Upset

Crystal was madder than a wet hen. (excuse my French).  This was the third time this week that her early morning lap swimming had to be cancelled.  The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was short staffed in security and those rapscallion Raccoons knew it.  the Face of Everyman mollified Crystal and friends by “comping” them an additional week’s stay plus an evenings sight seeing boat tour on Friday.IMG_1194 (2)

Slash and Burn

No sooner had the logging crew left than the protests by song birds began.  For all the wrong reasons the Face of Everyman had a few trees removed and a few trimmed.  It was meant to make the the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa more open.  Alas, vast hectares of habitat were removed.  These acts of slash and burn must cease was the clear message.IMG_0347 (2)

Photo Shoot

the Face of Everyman was once again offering baby pictures to the guests at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  This youngster was a good subject.  She knew that when Mom said “Freeze”, she meant freeze.  The venerable sage was pleased when Mom ordered reprints.IMG_0364 (2)

Formerly . . .

IMG_0090Ms Dew Drop was aghast with wonder.  This place in no way resembled the Belle Epoque style of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa in the brochure.  The court yard was choked with grass and the rooms smelled musty.  the Face of Everyman nearly bit his tongue in an effort to not apologize.  Apparently Landscaping was not an essential service in Phase Two.

Hard time

Years later DNA evidence cleared Rocky of all wrong doing but not before he had become a legend in the yard.  His volley ball skills were unbelievable.  His release was expedited by the Bureau of Prisons in time to make the forth coming Olympics.IMG_0595

Kids

Brief population explosions at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa forced the Face of Everyman to open the long shuttered East wing.  Things hadn’t been this busy since the tumultuous days of the Clinton administration.IMG_0524 (2)

“The Grind”

Skateboarding was becoming the new skill set at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Bucky was competing under a pseudonym so his parents wouldn’t find out.  the Face of Everyman hoped to sponsor this keen competitor in trials leading to the World Cup.IMG_0522 (2)

Portraits

The Time-Life© photo team showed unexpectedly and offered free family photos to registered guests at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  the Face of Everyman encouraged folks to participate.  The anxiously awaited magazine story was a crushing disappointment.  Captions twisted the flavor of living the good life on the Pacific Flyway to one of huddled masses on lock down.
