It seems that our Minnesota hot weather is mostly behind us this year.

The temps are starting to be mild and fall is in the air. It is a great time to take advantage of how nice it is outside.

The season’s colors and comfortable temperatures can lure even the exercise-challenged into action. You can always find places that invite you to take a walk outside. Deciding which one to visit just depends on your schedule.

Busy day? No problem. A quick walk can invigorate your senses, and you’ll think more clearly afterward.

As long as the weather is accommodating the walking club at the senior senter will continue to find great places to go.

At 9 a.m. on Wednesday the walking club will meet at the senior center for another fun group walk. Everyone is welcome to come and join us. They walk for about an 40 minutes and usually cover about two miles. This is great exercise and great company. We hope to see you there.

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday we are having scalloped potatoes and ham for only $2. You are always welcome at the center. See you here!
