Friday links

Happy Friday, the first frost is on my grass and the air is crisp almost time to pack up the lawn mower for another season. It has been a week where I was one day ahead all week so today really feels like Saturday, weird when that happens.

This summer I was introduced to something called an earthing mat. I know they have been around for awhile now, but for me it was a new thing, so with nothing to loose, decided to buy one and give it a try. Here is a youtube link to find out more.

Driving around yesterday, doing my errands I noticed a lot of homes for sale, as well as a lot of new homes being built. Wondering if a community housing concept would be a good fit for Olds, hmm, something to think about.

Uptown shops

For a number of years now the Uptowne Olds committee have been planning and working on reviving the uptown core, and slowly it is coming together. There are plans on adding bench seating, trees, brick walk ways and much more.

There are a number of people that come into the store on a weekly basis that have found us by word of mouth, on-line or just passing by.

I love the vibe of a small well maintained uptown core, the feeling is you can walk and enjoy the uniqueness of the small shops and businesses, and have a enjoyable shopping experience, with some one-on-one assistance.

Here are three new stores open/opening in the uptown area, come and check them out!

Monday

Happy Monday, start the week off with treating yourself. Set aside a day or a few hours where you can do what makes you smile or just say ahhh.

 

Waking up this morning and catching the sunrise at 7:20am just peaking over the trees, it brought with it the feeling of fall. Wont be long and we will have to turn the clocks back!
