Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day. Started in 1962 by Senator Gaylord Nelson, this celebration is a reminder to do good to your Earth. Serenity did it's part by recylcing handfuls of tin cans from our meals, sprucing them up with some paint and planing our favorite herbs.

We included chives, parsley, rosemary, oregano, mint and cilantro in our menagerie. We can hardly wait for these yummy herbs to grow so we can use them in our meals!

Happy Birthday, Lois!

Lois celebrated her birthday today with a cake she designed her cake. It looked lovely and tasted even better! Happy Birthday!

April Fools!

Around here, we certainly pulled out our bags of tricks for April Fool's Day! As a surprise lunch, when the ladies & gentlemen came down to the dining room for a bite to eat...they found the three tables pushed together in one big row and covered in colored paper. There were crayons on the table and everyone was encourage to color.

Richard came from the kitchen next with "Grilled Cheese Sandwiches." It turns out that these cheesey sandwiches were really angel food cake with frosting in the middle. After the backwards start to lunch, hamburgers & french fries were served right on the table...no plates or silverware! Richard went around the table and squirted everyone's initials in ketchup right on the table as well! Talk about one crazy lunch!
