We all have that favorite restaurant……that one place we just can’t resist. Our go- to place for special occasions. If you have committed to a healthier lifestyle, does that mean you have to kiss that restaurant good-bye? Not necessarily …….
However, adopting a healthy lifestyle does mean holding yourself accountable.
Did you exercise today? Did you resist that cookie after lunch? Have you eaten out only on days that end in ‘Y”? LOL! Make sure you treat special occasions as what they are…special occasions! Don’t diminish those wonderful and rare experiences into normal everyday occurrences.

Village employees Eli Sexton and Cheryl Geer install 28 hanging baskets of vining petunias on light poles along Main Street on Wednesday.
By fall, the baskets will be dripping with color with varieties named fuchsia, bubblegum and silverberry.
The show will extend from the United Methodist Church south to College Avenue.
ONU put up hanging baskets in front of Dukes and Lehr buildings last week in time for last Sunday’s commencements. Anyone wanting to donate more baskets for Ada next year may call Village Administrator Jamie Hall for details.
