UCONN Dairy Farm and Bar









Today was a fun day in Connecticut. Josie had 3 hours of therapy. We were supposed to have had a 2 hour break and back for one more, but her head was hurting so much she needed the rest of the day off. I think the main problem is that she is laying on a hard pillow. As most of you know, she has the hardest time with laying down and especially on hard pillows. I will bring one of ours tomorrow and see if that helps.

After therapy, we heard of the Dairy Bar that is part of the Dairy farm on campus. They make there ice cream fresh everyday with the milk of the cows up on the pasture. What an amazing place and the ice cream was incredible. After we had our ice cream we went to see the dairy cows. It was hysterical to watch her freak out when the cows tried to come see her. Of course they were behind bars, but she couldn't get past the fact that they couldn't get out. She then realized where beef came from. I may have turned her into a vegetarian today, because she doesn't want to have to kill Violet, Sunset, Bacardi or any of the other named cows at the dairy. Cute, sensitive little soul.

We swam tonight and had dinner in bed (there isn't a table in the room). She thinks this is great fun living in a hotel. Challenging at best to get good food in her without ordering out every meal. I will be glad to get to a real kitchen again.

We are appreciating the therapy and people here. What a lovely staff that is here at Crossroads. Very religious which leads to very peaceful environment and happy surroundings. What a true blessing. Off to bed to start again tomorrow. Jenny and Josie
