A Sweet Gesture
To mark National Family Caregiver Month in November, Parker Adult Day Center gave out honey jars and recipes that use honey to participants and their family members.
The labels on the honey jars said, "Thank you for beeing you! (And for sticking with us!)"
Each bottle was adorned with a tiny silver bee affixed to a raffia ribbon and accompanied by a wooden honey dipper.
For your eating pleasure, here are the four recipes:
