Travel is an adventure, no matter what
When Ray and I took our 2011 cruise to Hawaii, we completed traveling in all 50 states. This old gal does not get about without help so I am here to say it took a little doing. The first and the most important part of the trip was to make reservations on the cruise ship a yearand-half before the departure to be sure we had a handicap room. At the same time I filled out all the paper work to be able to take my scooter on board. I have listened to my knees protest steps. Six months before the trip I scheduled our tours making sure they were handicap friendly, meaning they could lift me in my cart on the bus. It’s an
exciting little ride I do not really mind. Several months before our cruise I contacted a motel in West Vancouver and made reservations for a handicap room for both coming and going. The random choice DORIS of that motel would BUTT prove to be very wise. I also made reservations for a handicap room in the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas. All that done, Ray and I confidently left Indiana on April 17th heading straight for Vancouver. We are driving for I do not trust my scooter to an airline. We made familiar stops as we traveled I-80 and then up to I-90. We had lunch at Wall Drug. We drove up to Mt. Rushmore, but the presidents could barely peep
Doris gives some advice "Getting hoisted into the tour bus isn't so bad once you get used to it. Travel, even with a scooter, is fun, and limited mobility shouldn't limit travel."

10 years ago we watched the 9/11 news from New York City. It brought back memories of watching the second tower being hit while in our RV in Helena, Montana while on the Lewis and Clark Caravan. Our group had stopped at the bakery later in the day. Ray would get the only horn blown at him in Spokane, Washington. I do not understand why someone would not have a little consideration for after seeing our far from home Florida license. Other than that small nuisance, he never had any driving concerns on the 7,000 plus miles we covered. Ray’s greatest apprehension was where we would park and meet the cruise ship. Thank you, Jesus. It turned out the manager of the motel where I had reserved a room immediately upon arrival took care of it all. “You can park you van here and I
will get you a handicap taxi.” And he did that and even made arrangements for it to pick us up. There was no stress getting on and off the ship. We were aboard the cruise ship Zaandam with some 1,400 passengers for 19 days. We were docked five days in Hawaii where after touring we would return to the ship each evening. On our way home we stopped to enjoy time with two friends. We passed through the Redwoods, cut across to Salt Lake City to visit Temple Square, then headed to Las Vegas. On our way home we painfully chose to pass the Grand Canyon, a must stop on about every trip west, because we did not want to tackle Memorial Day traffic there. We did visit the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Parks.
We stopped at Big Texan Steakhouse in Amarillo for dinner and watched several fellows “try” to down their 72 ounce steak, free if they ate it all. We returned to the farmstead June 1st. It was a nice even trip of togetherness. Nothing great happened and certainly nothing went wrong in the six week trip. Good weather traveled with us. It did not rain in rainy places. Temperatures were perfect. The only exception was our slushy snowy drive through the Rocky Mountains on the way to Vancouver, but that made for some great scenery. I became so involved with our farmstead sale that I put off writing about our trip. Now a year has passed and I can give an honest report on what impressed me. It will be what I remember. Cruises are not our favorite choice of travel. We have only taken them to get to special places like in and out the Panama Canal, to Alaska and this trip to Hawaii.
APRIL 2012 On this trip, the ship stopped at the different islands and we would debark and return in the evening. Of the 14 days we were at sea, we only had one rough day. We had a great room and getting about the ten story ship was easy in my scooter. We chose to eat most meals in the informal cafeteria. There Nathan, our favorite server, shared his life with us. From Indonesia, as were many of the 617 member staff. He always made our meals a happy time. He loved to put my scooter in a safe place. He was homesick to see his wife and baby. Nathan left for home when the ship stopped at Seattle on the return home. When someone asks us how did you enjoy Hawaii, Ray and I both replay, “We were always on the wrong side of the bus.” You will get that story next month.

What's next after retirement? Scores of people spend their working days dreaming of the moment they are eligible for retirement. They may
have retirement counted down to the minutes and seconds, particularly if they've been in a job that hasn't been the most enjoyable. But many people find that once they retire they do not know what to do to fill their time. Boredom actually may be a side effect of retirement, and some people actually want to go back to work. Much of the focus when planning for retirement concerns finances. All other factors take a backseat. Therefore, there may be emotional issues that arise during retirement, and retirees are not always prepared to deal with such issues. Having a post-retirement plan in place can mean the difference between happiness and having a hard time adjusting, according to experts. Here are some tips that can help anyone ease into the golden years. Establish goals. After working for years, the idea of setting goals can seem counterintuitive. But goals can give life direction and have you looking forward to things in the future. Goals also motivate retirees to get up in the morning now that a commute to work isn't part of the daily schedule. Donate time or money. Giving back to others, whether to the community or to a charitable organiza-
tion, can feel good and give retirees some structure. Volunteering your time at a place can give life some sort of purpose outside of a job. Start a home-based business.Just because you retire doesn't mean you have to fully retire. Now may be the opportunity to start a business venture you have always dreamed about, whether that is something hands-on or just serving as a consultant. Try new things. Part of goal-setting is to add things to the list you've never done before, which can boost feelings of excitement. You may discover a new interest that becomes a passion. Now that you have time to explore new hobbies, they might prove more rewarding. Meet with people. Part of what makes work fulfilling is the opportunity to get out of the house and interact with others who are not members of your family. It's easy to fall into a rut when you are not being mentally stimulated by conversation from different people. Realize it's alright not to love retirement. Just because the grass seemed greener in someone else's yard, doesn't mean it always turns out to be that way. It is OK to accept that maybe retirement isn't entirely what you expected and to make changes that can enable the experience to be better.

Assessing your abilities as an aging driver When a person first earns a driver's license, they've earned more than just the right to legally operate an automobile. To many drivers, a driver's license is symbolic of freedom and self-sufficiency. The significance of a driver's license never truly dissipates, which makes it difficult for aging men and women to address their abilities as a driver and whether or not they can still safely share the road with other motorists. Though many drivers can safely stay behind the wheel well into their golden years, others begin to recognize their skills are starting to diminish as they approach senior citizen status. For those who want help gauging their abilities as a driver, some selfexamination can help.
Assess your eyesight
Healthy eyes are essential to being a safe driver, and drivers can assess their eyesight in a number of ways. In addition to visiting an eye doctor for an eye examination, drivers should look for signs that they're having difficulty with driving. If signs and street markings aren't so easy to read anymore, you might need a new prescription for eyeglasses. When the glare of headlights at night makes it difficult to see, your driver's seat might need to be adjusted or you might want to consider anti-
glare eyeglasses that make it easier to see at night.
Assess your comfort level
Safe drivers are also comfortable drivers. To assess your comfort level as a driver, ask yourself the following questions before getting back behind the wheel. ■Is it troublesome to look over your shoulder and change lanes? ■Has steering become difficult? ■Has your reaction time when switching from the gas pedal to the brake pedal decreased? If you can answer "yes" to any of the questions above, then it could be that you're beginning to lose strength, coordination and/or flexibility, which can make it more difficult to operate a motor vehicle. Answering "yes" doesn't mean you have to give up your driver's license. In fact, your doctor might be able to prescribe therapies or medicines or suggest a fitness regimen that can make it easier for you to comfortably drive a car. In addition, if you're having trouble steering or operating a motor vehicle in any way, you might just want to find a vehicle that's easier to drive, such as one with an automatic transmission that has power steering and brakes. When assessing your comfort level, also examine your mental state while
driving. If other drivers make you uncomfortable or traffic signs are confusing, this can make it difficult to safely operate an automobile. Such feelings when driving could also be a side effect of a particular medication, so discuss the issue with your doctor to see if that's the case and if there are any alternatives.
Address loved ones' concerns
Aging drivers are often the last to notice if their abilities behind the wheel are starting to diminish. Loved ones are often put in the position of talking to aging drivers about their abilities, and this can cause friction. If loved ones have expressed concern about your abilities as a driver,
honestly address these concerns, even if it's initially hurtful or embarrassing to do so. Your loved ones are sharing their feelings out of genuine concern for your well-being, so don't look at it as an assault on your self-sufficiency. Some organizations, including the AARP and AAA, offer driving classes for mature drivers to help them more adequately handle the challenges aging drivers might face. Aging drivers face obstacles they may or may not be prepared for. When such challenges arise, that doesn't necessarily mean it's time to stop driving entirely. Instead, honestly weigh a host of factors before deciding if it's still safe for you to be behind the wheel.

SENIOR SOURCE
Dear Senior Source, Q. My wife and I have had a run of bad luck health wise over the past couple of years. Due to a fixed income and bare bones health insurance, we have had to rely heavily on credit cards just to get by. The problem now is that the minimum payments and the finance charges are so high that we can barely pay them. Are there any services or resources that can help make this debt more manageable? A. Credit cards are both a blessing and a curse at the same time. They are fine if you plan to pay them off after each purchase, but most people are not able to do that and it can be very easy to become over extended. Credit can be the equivalent to imaginary money. Once people realize that they are in over their head, they think the only action available is to file for bankruptcy. This action will help make arrangements to pay off the debt through a court order over a period of time, but it may ruin your credit score for an even
longer period of time. Because of this, filing for bankruptcy is not always the best way to deal with debt. There are agencies that help people emerge from staggering debt without filing for bankruptcy. They help people form a manageable budget, avoid credit card use, and may even work with creditors to decrease or consolidate debt to create a more manageable monthly payment. Below are some agencies and their contact information that may be able to help.

They have been a huge favorite with WHRO-FM (Norfolk, VA)listeners, and are the best selling independent classical CDs Joseph Beth Booksellers in Cincinnati. The overwhelming response to these collections of meditative music led the trio to create their Christmas recording Winter Gift. In 2005, the trio produced their fourth CD “Evensong”. To date, the trio has sold over 37,000 units of their music!

Rosemary Clooney got her start, singing on WLW Radio in the 1940s with her sister, Betty. Coincidentally, Nancy James also began her career at WLW, performing on the Bob Braun Show, a popular TV and radio show syndicated in the Midwest in the 1970s. “I got to know Rosie when she came back several times as a guest on the Bob Braun Show,” James said. “She was the quintessential girl next door. She had no airs, and was very kind and giving. She was as normal as anyone you would ever meet, even though she was one of the greatest singers in the world.” Clooney, who died in 2002, was a native of Maysville, Kentucky, about 50 miles from Cincinnati, and had moved from Beverly Hills to the nearby town of Augusta in her later years. Her house, which overlooks the Ohio River in Augusta, is now a museum featuring her music and movie memorabilia, including exhibits dedicated to George Clooney, her nephew. The upcoming concert is being produced with cooperation from the Rosemary Clooney fan site www.rosemaryclooney.com, which is providing historic photos to be shown onstage during the show. The show will include an hour and a half of Clooney’s greatest songs, as well as some that were not necessarily her fa-

vorites, such as the classic “Come On-A My House.” “Rosie thought it was just a silly novelty song,” James said. “She also didn’t like the idea of singing it in a mock Italian accent, but Columbia Records pressured her to do it, and it became a huge hit. She didn’t like it, but her fans sure did.” Nancy James was trained at the prestigious College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, and has been a popular jazz vocalist in the area for three decades, having performed on television, radio and on stage. She is also the former cohost of the television program “Northern Kentucky Magazine.” Joining her onstage will be Carmon DeLeone, music director of the Cincinnati Ballet, the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra and the Middletown (Ohio) Symphony Orchestra. DeLeone, who is recognized for his knowledge of music history, will introduce each song by telling a brief story about it. Also accompanying James will be other, popular Cincinnati musicians:

Harmonizing with James will be composer Janet Yates-Vogt, co-writer of a new musical about Rosemary Clooney titled “Tenderly,” which is scheduled to open at Dayton, Ohio’s Victoria Theatre this fall. “One of my favorite quotes about Rosie was that she was one of the best friends a song ever had,” James said. “She understood lyrics and gave a voice to songs in a way that most other singers could not. She was a major influence on me, and I am honored to be paying tribute to her.” The Performing Arts Series is made possible through the generosity of the Dearborn Highlands Arts Council, Inc. with support from the Columbus Area Arts Council, the Indiana Arts Commission, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

French soup suited for spring Though few associate springtime with soup, the French often choose late spring to enjoy recipes such as the following for "Soupe au Pistou" from Sarah Woodward's
"The Food of France" (Kyle Books). This recipe is best made in late spring, when the vegetables and the basil are at their sweetest.
Soupe au Pistou ■ 2 small young leeks ■ 5 fat garlic cloves ■ Extra virgin olive oil ■ 6 plum tomatoes ■ Salt ■ White sugar ■ Tops of several leaves of Swiss chard, if available, shredded ■ 1/2 pound green beans, topped, tailed and cut into bitesized lengths
■ Bouquet garni of parsley, sage and basil ■ 1 cup cooked borlotti or white haricot beans ■ 2 medium-sized zucchini, diced ■ A good bunch of fresh basil ■ A good hunk (around 1/3 pound) of fresh Parmesan, shredded ■ 1/4 pound vermicelli
Serves 4 to 6 Finely chop the white part of the leeks, discarding the green tops. Peel 2 of the garlic cloves and chop finely. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy pan big enough to make the soup in. Add the leeks and chopped garlic and sweat gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. It is important that the leeks and garlic do not brown. While they are cooking, pour boiling water over the tomatoes, leave for 45 seconds, then remove and peel as soon as they are cool enough to handle. Cut in half, remove the seeds and roughly dice the flesh. Add the tomatoes to the leek and garlic mix, together with a good pinch each of salt and sugar. Cook, stirring several times, until the tomatoes have begun to break down, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Bring 11/4 quarts lightly salted water to a boil and blanch the Swiss chard tops, if you have them, for 1 minute. Lift out with a slotted spoon and then cook the green beans in the same liquor with the bouquet garni for 2 minutes. Add the liquor, green beans, bouquet garni, Swiss chard tops, diced zucchini and borlotti or haricot beans to the leek and tomato mixture, bring back to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, during which time you can make the pistou. Traditionally this is done in a pestle and mortar but a food-processor does perfectly well, as long as you remember the sauce should be quite chunky. Crush the remaining garlic cloves and add a generous pinch of salt then whizz in the basil leaves, stripped from the stalk, and the Parmesan. Drizzle in just enough oil to make an emulsion -- 6 tablespoons as an estimate. Bring the soup back to the boil and add the vermicelli. Cook for 5 minutes, until the pasta is just cooked. Remove from the heat, check seasoning and leave to cool for 10 minutes before stirring in the pistou. A sprinkle of Parmesan and a few basil leaves floated in the soup do no harm.
