Unfortunately Mother was in bed with a spring cold; Fortunately Clio stayed back to give Mother some tea and TLC, while Erato joined the players for Picnic Puzzles.

Muse Erato gave her guests in the garden a choice of which game they wanted to play - they chose Fortunately - Unfortunately and came up with the most creative stories:

Fortunately, Clio is looking after Mother while she is ill
Unfortunately the dishes need to be done too
Fortunately Erato hasnt done dishes for a long time and is ready to jump in
Unfortunately the water got shut off
Fortunately they have a rain barrel they catch water with
Unfortunately, it hasn't rained in awhile
