What Is A Tree's Favorite Drink?

This blog post came to us last night during a visit to the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome in Boulder. John wanted to show us the dragon fly he made at an arts and crafts class that Claudette, one of the Residential Counselors at the house, had recently organized, pictured below.  Please note John's hat and shirt, he will explain them below.

"How do you like my shirt and hat?  I got them a while back when I took a train trip all the way to California with Joan Handley's group ("Just for the Fun of It", which offers trips and tours for people with special needs. phone number 970-412-8463).  We went to the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and China Town. It was a lot of fun. 

I have a new joke for you. "What is a tree's favorite drink?" "Root beer." (with emphasis on root).
