ON THE WATER “My very good friend, Honora, used to get meals from October Kitchen. She had a heart condition but still worked a lot. October Kitchen helped her eat healthily, and she raved about them. When my boyfriend and I started working more hours, I didn’t have time to cook for us every night. Following Honora’s recommendation, I checked out October Kitchen. Their home-cooked, healthy options were exactly what we needed! They have delicious food. I love their Mexican-style meals and their chocolate chip cookies!”
Amy Gambardella’s Advice for Paddleboarding
probably find Amy out on the lake near her home.
“We try to get out on the lake every day when the weather is nice,” Amy says. “I don’t like to swim in the lake, but I do love to float on the water. Dragon boating, paddleboarding, canoes, you name it. It’s a relaxing escape away from everyday life.”
–Amy Gambardella
... continued from Cover Of all the lake activities, Amy’s favorite is paddleboarding. She’s been paddleboarding for seven years, sometimes alongside her boyfriend and occasionally with a dog on board! Amy used to have a chihuahua named Pedro who was delighted to go paddleboarding with her. As Amy put it, he would stand on the front of the board “like Leo on the Titanic.” Amy hopes to continue this tradition with Billy Jean. “Make sure you have the right form for paddling,” Amy advises readers who might try paddleboarding this summer. “It’s not like a canoe paddle. You have to take your paddle, reach straight forward and dig it straight into the water and really push the water back. But beyond that, just get out there and do it. Paddleboarding is such a fun way to spend a summer’s day.” an adult, but it’s so important to get out of the normal grind and let yourself have fun. Inside everyone, there’s that 7-year-old kid who just wants to run around and explore. If we don’t let that kid have a little fun, we’re stifling an important part of ourselves. I have a productivity coach who keeps me accountable for reaching my goals, and he challenges me to make sure I have time to play. As for what “good play” is, he suggested finding something that excites you, or something you jumped out of bed for as a kid. Short of building forts, I loved playing with Legos. These days, I get giant Lego sets with 4,000 pieces and 700 steps and build huge projects. Recently, I finished a giant excavator wheel that was 3 feet wide and 20 inches tall. It looked awesome and was a terrific project to work on. This summer, I want to challenge everyone to play more. For you, this might mean taking a vacation with your family or taking time personal time to draw, bake or go stargazing. We cannot overestimate the value of downtime as a family tradition and a mental recharge.
There are many reasons why our clients choose October Kitchen. When asked why she signed up with October Kitchen, Amy Gambardella had a pretty great response: “I would much rather take my dogs for a walk or go paddleboarding than cook dinner.”
Amy works as a surgical technician in an orthopedic surgery center. It’s a fast-paced job with physical and mental challenges. When Amy gets home from work, there’s nothing she enjoys more than going on a hike with her boyfriend and their dogs, Murphy the Wheaten terrier and their Mountain Feist, Billy Jean. And when the weather is warm, you’ll
