Welcome to our family, pets and senior living issue. I’m thrilled to present to you a curated collection of stories that capture the essence of taking care of our loved ones, both human and animal alike. We speak to local cat parents about how their feline friends adore their kitty spa days. For our seniors, we’ve explored the vibrant landscape of exercise
classes tailored to their unique needs. I got the idea for the
story when my mom, who is 76, excitedly told me about her local
fitness class and how after sessions are over, she and her classmates
stop for coffee and pastries at the Italian market nearby. I wondered if a class like hers existed here—something that was
low impact, gentle, fostered camaraderie among participants and forged a sense of community. By no means is it a comprehensive list of everything available, I do hope this snapshot offers a window
into the possibilities that exist. And for our families, we have a delightful story about the Edina Soccer Association’s 50th anniversary.
