Please BE SAFE with this storm ~ the winds will be the biggest issue.
We do so hope you are keeping warm and safe in these bitterly cold days!!
In lieu of any of us risking injuries we have some safer O.A.T.S. events planned for January and February (please reply 860-441-6623 to rsvp) Have not joined our OATS ( Outdoor Active Traveling Seniors) group yet? It is easy, we plan an excursion monthly (in warmer months it is usually hikes and outdoor outings) – just let me know you are interested and YOU CHOOSE what you want to join us for by just rsvp-ing to me. Easy and FUN!
Also, coming up we have a couple particular workshops that we really think would help each of us!
Greetings! I hope your holiday season brought you the brightest of gifts – love, friendship, family and peace.
