You deserve a day at the spa or salon... why not make it all the more special by taking a neighbor with you. When older people become less active, they can also become forgotten. Can you spend time with this lovely Glastonbury resident who enjoys to get her hair done. Get your nails done while she gets her hair done and you can do a good deed while you cross an item off of your own to-do list. She also loves to sew but can't see so well to do that anymore. If you love hanging out with inspirational people, this is the place for you.
