Hey Bostonians! The Highland Street Foundation is sponsoring
Free Fun
Fridays again this year. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit museums and
cultural venues across Massachusetts for free!
Among the venues is Capron Park Zoo in Attleboro which is about
50 minutes from Boston. It’s a nice ride out of town to see exotic animals such
as the white lion, red panda, emus and pythons. But for us, the main attraction
is the splash
pad, a fun and exciting zero-depth water playground that thrills children
of all ages. For maximum enjoyment, bring bathing suits and beach clothing and
sunscreen for your kids. The local
pharmacy near me offers a quality selection of sunscreens and other health
and beauty aids for the whole family and they provide more individualized care
than the national chains. You should try them, if you are not yet a customer.

doesn’t stain your clothing. The oil component of these lotions leaves
invisible stains that can become visible over time. These stains may not be
easily removed in normal washing. I usually take stained clothing to a dry cleaner near me for stain removal.
The park does not allow visitors to bring picnics, but there
is a Concession Stand that offers delicious fresh cooked food, ice cream and cold
drinks while you rest at shady picnic benches.
The Zoo is a wonderful place to visit at other times of the
year too. There are educational classes on animals and how to take care of them,
conservation, photography and more. If you have teenage children, you may
consider enrolling them into the Zoo Crew program which gives teens the
opportunity to volunteer at the Zoo. The
Zoo also offers birthday party packages for children – a perfect birthday
celebration for the kid who loves animals!

Winter is the perfect season to snuggle up inside and watch the snow fall through the winter. But winter also brings some risks associated with the snow and cold. Here are a few easy ways to reduce those risks, keeping yourself and your family members safe. Keep Fire Safety in Mind Fire is warm and comforting, but also dangerous. If you use a candle to create ambiance, make sure you put it out before you go to bed. Don’t leave a candle burning alone in a room, either. Also, be careful with space heaters. Make sure you clear anything flammable away from them. If you use propane for heat , make sure your tank is secure. Establish a regular schedule with your propane delivery team, and have your tank serviced periodically to keep it in good shape. Avoid Slips and Falls To prevent slip-and-fall injuries, make sure you keep your walkways clear of snow. Use rock salt or another ice melting agent to get rid of slick ice. If you have an older loved one, make sure they have winter boots wi...
It was back in January last year when the first cases of COVID-19 were reported in the U.S., and in March 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak a pandemic. We are now one full year into the pandemic. It has been a hard year for everyone, but especially for our frontline workers, the elderly and their caregivers. We may be suffering from COVID fatigue but it is important that we remain vigilant and stay safe. I have some tips to share as we find our way through these difficult times. Plan for Vaccination Make a plan to get your COVID-19 vaccine, and help older adults in your life make a plan to get their vaccine. Find out if you can get vaccinated at your favorite local pharmacy ; many are administering vaccines to at-risk individuals. Your local health department is another good resource to find vaccination sites in your area. If you live in Massachusetts like me, you can go on MA DPH website for clinics/sites that are currently ...
