As many of you from the Watertown area know, we have a beautiful recreational trail. The trail goes around the lake and all the way to the Redlin Art Center. It truly is a great part about Watertown! Dr. Dan and I are part of the Watertown Trail Committee that works to promote the use of the trail. Our committee also works with the great folks at the Park and Rec who manage and maintain the trail system.
We have a facebook page for the trail: https://www.facebook.com/WatertownRecreationalTrail/. Be sure to head on over and “like” us for updates on the trail! We plan to increase our Facebook activity and interest in the trail by highlighting the various sections of the trail throughout the year to encourage use and activity on the trail….and this is where we need your help! We invite you to send us pictures of you and your family and friends on the trail. You can email us the pictures and we will post to the Facebook page and site. Be sure to include the following: your name and area on the trail–this will be included when we post the pictures! You can email pictures to strive2survive@brownclinic.org. We look forward to hearing from you and be sure to get out and enjoy our beautiful trail!

Do you have your Easter baskets all ready for the little (or big) kids in your life? Easter baskets are usually filled with all kinds of goodies and I like to think of them being just as exciting as getting your Christmas stocking! My family has all kinds of funny stories about the big search for finding our Easter baskets and of course what we find inside is even more exciting! The candy aisles at the store are filled with all kinds of goodies, but let us not forget that there are plenty of other non-junk food options to fill your Easter baskets with. Here are some ideas for you:
- Sidewalk chalk
- Color Dotz by Crayola (color your bath water with them!)
- Books
- Coloring books
- Stuffed animals
- Sunglasses
- Shoes
- Socks
- Hair accessories for girls
- Mini cars or planes for boys
- Nail polish
- Gift certificate to the movies or iTunes
- Magazine subscription
- Jump rope
- Yo-yo
- Pencils, crayons, markers
It’s ok to enjoy a little candy, but be sure to include some of these other goodies to help make your Easter baskets a bit healthier! And more importantly, remember the real meaning of celebrating Easter!
