You say Tomato...

Big Beautiful Tomatoes=Big Beautiful Smiles and Full Bellies!

Recently the Residents at Juniper Village at Meadville showed great smiles of delight when they were served beautiful, fresh tomatoes from
Al's Melons!  Al's is the new supplier of produce for  Juniper Village. Locally-grown, brightly-colored, aromatic, fresh vegetables are super food for the body, mind and spirit.  The culinary associates were busy creating delectably edible works of art from the vegetables and fruit, while residents sang praises of gratitude.

Resident Paul Reese contends, "The tomatoes couldn't be more beautiful!  They must be raised inside to be as perfect as they are. . . They are red all the way through.  The other night I had a
hamburger and the slice of tomato was about ¼ inch thick!"  "The other day my dining partner had one of those tomatoes stuffed with Egg Salad and he cleaned his plate.  That is something he seldom does!"

 

Mother's Day Celebration

 

Saturday, May 4th our resident mothers and their families enjoyed sharing favorite dishes, recipes, photos and memories during the Juniper Village Mother's Day Potluck Luncheon. The Grand Ballroom was adorned with beautiful springtime flowers and colors to energize our spirits and pay tribute to all of the lives that have been touched

and grown by our mothers. Indeed memories were blooming as we shared wonderful  reflections and a meal complete with scrumptious desserts. We appreciate and honor those whom we make home for and all they have nurtured during their lifetimes. Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Juniper Village!!
