Ah,
under the canopy of the Amazon rain forest, so lush, so beautiful, so
full of wildlife… well, in this case the wildlife consists of a herd
of squirrels intent on consuming massive quantities of fermented maple
seeds, thus blowing themselves up to gargantuan proportions and posing
as presidential candidates… uppers, its Ohio at its finest! Really,
it is beautiful, if you can stand the daily thunderstorms, and the
humidity. (as a curly haired person, I protest this humidity from under
an Afro of frizz easily mistakable for a pound and a half of cotton
candy on my head and almost as sticky)

Toothsome,
eh? White food and I’m not talking Caucasian here… Here we have the
absence of color – no hue, not a speck of chroma, no saturation!
nada… apparently the color is not alone in the dark corner it was
banished to… the flavor is there too, shaking its spicy little head,
ohhhh. Maybe I have been spoiled by California and Colorado, but my
eyes bugged when I saw the first white bread and cold cut sandwich on
her plate… no butter, no mustard, just bread and processed “meat” is
that legal? OH no, here come the fiber police!
I
imagine they were having a hard time, what with the fact that both the
food and the plates were such a similar color, with people breaking
teeth trying to consume the dishes… so they added dark green cups and
little bowls for the rest of the food. (in their favor, they do provide
tomato juice at every meal and don’t question the need for 2 cups of
hot water anymore…)

On
the bright side, we did have a crafty time on Friday. Everyone got
together in the PT room and made tissue paper “stained glass” collages.
Several of the ladies commented that they did this in kindergarten, but
everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and played along. I love that kind
of thing and stopped in my quest to break the world speed record for
creation of crocheted potholders, and joined in the fun! (the PT girls
are great! Thank you PT girls. And Mootie improves daily, tho sometimes
she doesn’t want to admit it…)
