Strawberry Social

One of my favourite things to do is perform.  I play the piano at a seniors home and I love my very receptive and appreciative audience, but I also got to enjoy and help out with a lovely strawberry social last week.

I was sitting at the table with the residents with dementia since they tend to wander off.  I also know all of them from performing on their floor, so it's just like sitting and chatting with old friends (no pun intended).

This is what we all got to eat:

• strawberry shortcake
• strawberry tart
• chocolate-dipped strawberries
• strawberry ice cream
• strawberry juice :)

I really enjoyed having the opportunity to enjoy the event for once rather than having to entertain!

All in all, it was an unexpectedly nice surprise, but one that I really enjoyed.  I guess that sometimes it doesn't take much more than strawberries to have a good time...
