Featured shaker: The Fox and the Grapes The Fox and the Grapes (Aesop's Fable) A hungry Fox happened to be passing along a Vineyard where many fine bunches of grapes were hanging high on the arbor. The Fox leaped to get some, time and time again. Failing to do so and weary with jumping, he finally gave up, and as he trotted away he said to himself, "I didn't want them anyway; I know they must still be sour." Some areas are for members only, so if you would like to enjoy all that the website offers, please join or renew your membership and go check them out. www.saltandpepperclub.com (fb)
