Aspects

Incredibly meaningful, in and of itself, Thanksgiving continually instills its unique inspiration throughout the entire holiday season! Having shopped for that Thanksgiving menu also tends to inspire repeat experiences pertaining to all other meals and treats throughout this special time!

Lead Poisoning Prevention

Lead is a toxic metal used in many trades and hobbies in the United States. Most adult lead exposures are due to their work or hobby. Lead poisoning happens when small amounts of lead build up in the body. People can breathe in lead dust or fumes or swallow dust while eating, drinking, or smoking.

Polk Senior Center

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. I’m glad we decided at the Brown household to start putting up outside lights and greenery last weekend, since the weather is giving us a taste of winter today. Brrr!
