Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

So, I'm telling tails out of school.  Our residents often get chatting in the living room about ideas for our socials.  One of our residents thought it might be fun to do unusual food pairings.  They didn't expect us to actually follow through.  When our Program Manager came into the living room with a bag of Baby Ruth Bars and a squeeze bottle of mustard they were astounded!  I came on the scene late wondering what they were all laughing about.  Everyone was giving it a go and enjoying the strange combination of sweet and spicy.  That was just the beginning.  Our Nurse Coordinator said, "game on" and she proposed the following week that we try pickle and peanut butter sandwiches!  The next week our Case Manager suggested doritos and ice cream!  Today, before our happy hour Melissa served up ice cream with wine and fruit!  Rave reviews all around the room!

Social Social Distancing!

What exactly does that look like?

Social social distancing..What exactly does that look like?  It's difficult to capture in pictures because we are spread so far apart, but the warmth and love of our community is stronger than ever. 

A typical day starts with a reading of the morning news in groups of 10 or less sitting far apart from one another.  Then, those who choose go to exercise class.  Today, we had two morning options; 1.) Paint class where we painted a waterfall (more to come in future blogs about our resident artists) and 2.) Reading Club where we read a few chapters from "Water for Elephants."  This afternoon, we celebrated with a Fiesta themed happy hour.  Our pinata named "Corona" didn't fare so well.  Our happy hours take place throughout the building in small gatherings where we can sit 6 feet apart.  It's up to the staff to circulate and serve refreshments.  Today, we got a little rowdy...it was a Fiesta after all! 

This is a glimpse into a typical day at Clark Meadows.  We've been social distancing for quite a while now and it has become a habit that we know is extremely important if we are to stay COVID19 free!
