I know all of you took care of yourselves in the smoke we had this summer. Scary, right?

You made it through, so enjoy your day today — make is special just for you.

Walking downtown Redmond is one way to enjoy yourself. You can get your exercise, or go have coffee, tea or whatever you like. Our town of Redmond is really neat. Beautiful shops, great restaurants and not just downtown.

There’s also lots of history here, including the old homes that have been here for years and years. And of course the new homes.

Just take time and look how lucky we are to live here. You do not need to go elsewhere and spend more on gasoline to get there. You can go and enjoy a good lunch or dinner or you can go buy yourself a hat that looks great on you, or buy a candy, or you could just go buy a new outfit, or you could just window shop.

All of us need to get out of the house and enjoy our quaint town of Redmond. Remember to be healthy — love and work real hard on being positive. We all need these three words — health, love and work — in our lives.

Life can be tough. Never give up on yourself.
