SENIORS GO FOR POKEMON GO!
Pokemon Go now has seniors on the go! Groups of seniors can be seen all over town throwing Poke Balls at a Zubat and stopping to chat at various Poke Stops! Therapists working in rehabilitation and physical therapy centers have begun to use Pokemon Go as part of their therapy to encourage seniors to increase their standing balance, eye-hand coordination, problem solving—all while chalking up points! Pokemon Go is also a great way to socialize with other seniors, but also be the “cool” grandparent with the youngsters who say, “Look, Grandma, there goes a Cloyster!”
Top 20 Small Towns to Visit If you are looking for a day of strolling through manicured parks, charming shops with creative and funky knickknacks, and countless choices of culinary delights, Mount Dora is the perfect place for you. The quaint town of Mount Dora has been ranked on two national lists: Smithsonian Magazine’s “Top 20 Small Towns to Visit” list, and in the “Top 50 of Best Small Downtowns in America” by bestchoicereviews.org. It’s no wonder since Mount Dora boasts 10 major festivals annually, including the nationally renowned Mount Dora Arts Festival in February and, for those of you more active enthusiasts, the 42nd annual Bicycle Festival, held Oct. 7-9. Perhaps Rob English, president of the Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce, sums it up best on their website, “Our town is ‘Someplace Special’ and our people have a passion to make it better.”
SILVER SHEETS FOR HEALTH Gandhi once said, “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” But what if strands of silver can add to your health? A new brand of sheets and pillowcases engineered with silver fiber claim to inhibit the growth of unwanted bacteria on the fabric surface, and the precious minerals will not wash away, according to https://www.silvonsleep.com/, which provides information. Even though you may pay a little more gold initially, you’ll save on water and energy as the sheets don’t need to be laundered as often as regular sheets.
