Shakopee Seniors

A group to help our seniors and their families

My name is Cindy and I own Heart To Heart Seniorcare. I have helped seniors for the past 8 years, and I LOVE what I do! It's my "calling" in life! I feel there is alot of seniors and their loved ones out there that need our help, whether its in-home care, a place to find resources, a support group, dementia/alzhemier's information, how a senior can stay safe in their homes, how to avoid moving a senior to a nursing home/assisted living, providing respite care for loved ones and just someplace to get some answers. This group will hopefully do all that plus more!

Thanksgiving dinner

OK, it might be a little early to be thinking about the stuffed bird. But every November I find myself looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner.

I love cranberries, and a couple of years ago a co-worker shared a fabulous Cranberry Waldorf salad recipe which has now become a must at our home.

What's your family's meal traditions? What special dish are you looking forward to chowing down?

Nights are getting shorter and spookier with Halloween just days away.

The southwest metro has several fun and scary ways to celebrate Halloween, including Scream Town, Trail of Terror, Frightmares at Buck Hill and Valleyscare.

Which is your favorite? Which gives the biggest bang for the buck?


Rain, rain go away and don't snow either

Remember September? Remember how beautiful it was?

In the few short days of early October, we have seen nothing but rain, drizzle and below-average temperatures - a not-so-friendly start to this typically lovely month of the harvest. 

Farmers are getting annoyed by the continuing rain. Little kids looking to jump in leaf piles are getting annoyed. Anyone just wanting to run out for groceries without getting drenched is getting annoyed.

And now the latest weather report: Snow by this weekend. Whatever happened to autumn?

Five of the biggest days on the Minnesota's sports scene continue tonight with the Vikings playing the Packers on Monday Night Football.

Everyone is getting to the game. Shakopee High School students dressed in purple and gold and green and yellow in honor of their favorite team for today's homecoming dress-up day. Some City Councils are changing their meeting dates and times to ensure they don't miss the game. See here.

Will you be watching?

Construction activity by Home Depot

Submitted by sfiecke on November 6, 2009 - 3:32pm.

A couple people have asked me what's being built by Home Depot in the Southbridge area. No, it's not a new building.

Crews are constructing a right-in, right-out turn lane onto County Road 18. This is something the developer (and city) were seeking to spur business development in that area.

Developer Steve Soltau had said he couldn't get businesses to come in without that access. The county finally agreed to allow the connection when negotiating with the city about the Co. Rd. 21 extention project. The work is being financed by Soltau's company.


Bye-bye Go-Go

I love the smell of off-season trades.

The Twins need to get over the hump - you know, win a couple playoff games. And they need to do it in the off season.

Going into October, most will agree signing Joe Mauer to a multi-year deal is the team's top priority. It has to get done. Fixing their weak spots comes to No. 2.
