Ladders and Avocados

Mere came and helped Ezgi and I paint the sun and his face on the wall today and it looks pretty good. Another problem is the wall is pretty tall and Ezgi and I are both scared to stand on the old ladder that the center has, to paint the top. The ladder is really rusted and scary looking and really can any of you imagine Ezgi and I trying to lift this ladder into place without breaking anything? We tried to put it in place and almost dropped it off the deck, which is about a twenty-foot drop, which is scary in and of its self. The owners mother Barbra (who we refer to as Grandma) was sitting there laughing at us in our futile attempts. We adore her. We also realize we may have made a mistake getting only light colors because they are kind of bright and in your face. I’m just hoping Ezgi and I pull it off. On a separate note Tom, the manager of the raw foods kitchen returned from California and now the kitchen is running much more smoothly. The Juice is usually finished by about ten-thirty or eleven. Tom even let us play around with the different smoothies they made. Ezgi and I made one for ourselves that was the green juice as its base (cucumber, celery, lemon, and parsley), cilantro, ginger, garlic, more parsley and avocado. I like the smoothies a lot more than just the plain juice because it has more of a kick to it. I enjoy the flavor a lot more. During this whole time Ezgi and I ate about an entire avocado between the two of us, with just salt and lemon juice on it (which is delicious). Tom was teaching us about how to tell when an avocado is perfectly ripe or not.
