Day 3911
Day 3911 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Fern Gorse is already eyeing another. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Fish Pie Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
