At Haruhi-en Niho

I felt strange to read the report of outside training session of a new staff.

New staffs of other group homes worries about different thing from ours.

“Recreation activities get stuck in a rut.”

“Do you know better recreational activities?”

Our new staff answered, “We don’t do such recreational activities.”

New staffs of other group homes were surprised at it very much.

Well, it is not enough.

We have sometimes opportunities to hold some recreational activities, such as harmonica performance of a volunteer.

Our staffs are not troubled with recreational activities, but troubled with letting the residents lead ordinary life as we do.

We’ve got a bunch of vegetable we’d never seen.

“Looks nice. How do you cook this?”

“Oh well, no idea.”

We did not figure out even its name.

“Why don’t we boil it?” That’s the best way for this kind.”

We made its salad with vinegar and miso, and fried it with meat.

It was a bit slimy but mild and smooth.

A few days later, our neighbor told us its name was ‘Urui’.
