50th ANNIVERSARY

The senior couple were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at a gala party. As they were cutting the cake, the husband started to cry. Soon, he was weeping uncontrollably. His wife tried to comfort him. "What's wrong honey?"

"Do you remember when your father caught us in the barn being amorous and he held the shotgun on me and told me that unless I married you, I would spend the next 50 years in jail?" the old man asked.

"Yes. I remember," she said.

The old man sobbed and said, "Just think, if we hadn't married, today I would be a free man."

SILVER SNEAKERS (2)

Now is the time that seniors are renewing or signing up for their Medicare Supplemental Insurance for 2012. Some health insurance providers offer a great service called "SILVER SNEAKERS." This is a free program that the insurance companies sponsor to help us gain strength and balance. It's smart of the insurance companies because it really is preventive medicine and I'm confident it in fact is not a cost for the carriers but an investment that generates a return. There is less sickness and fewer doctor visits when we keep in shape. I work with three excellent trainers/instructors and I have seen great benefit from my involvement. Besides getting my heart beating and a little perspiration on my forehead, I have met some very nice new friends. Check to see if your insurance company offers this beneficial service.
