PLACES TO GO AND GREAT THINGS TO SEE
From Patti Gibbons

Last week I spent a day by myself walking the National World War II museum in New Orleans and I'm glad I did.   Not only is it a state-of-the-art museum, it is filled with history from the 1930's and 40's. The exhibits are easy to understand and include interactive exhibits.  The one hour long 4-D film with Tom Hanks, Beyond all Boundaries, left me and others speechless!  Should you visit New Orleans, I hope you will make this museum one of your destinations.  To top it off, it has two restaurants (soda shop, canteen and nice restaurant with a bar!) I left the WWII museum feeling much gratitude for my freedom!

Over forty million people are expected to move between May and September of this year. It is no surprise that summer is the most popular time to move mainly because of children's school schedules. One thing you need to be extra careful about is your choice of movers. The industry has a lot of scam artists. One of the most common scams is getting a verbal quote, but then having the mover not release your furniture until you pay more. To help you with your move, our U.S. Department of Transportation has some excellent tips about choosing a mover and other helpful ideas.

Three  boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy  says,  My Dad writes poems and he gets $50 for each one!" The  second boy says, "That's nothing! My Dad writes songs and he gets $100 for each one!"  The  third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad's a preacher. He writes sermons and it takes eight people to collect all the  money!'

                                             SYMPTOMS OF CATARACTS
 
  Only an eye care professional can diagnose cataracts, but it may be time to schedule an eye exam if you notice any of these common signs:
  • Blurry or fuzzy vision
  • Trouble seeing at night
  • Double vision (single objects appear as two)
  • A glow or halo effect around lights
  • Changes to color vision (colors are less vivid and maybe have a yellowish tint that might cause blue to appear green))
What Causes Cataracts?
Certain factors increase the risk of cataracts. For example, if you smoke or drink too much alcohol, your risk of cataracts may be higher. Ditto if your eyes have been exposed to lots of UV rays from the sun throughout your life. Also, the older you are, the higher your risk. And people who have a history of eye injuries are at higher risk of cataracts as well.

SUMMERTIME FUN! 
Here are two fun ideas to keep the kids busy on a hot summer day!  Boy will they have fun! Chances are you will
be joining in as well. Create a backyard Twister game by spray-painting the circular grid onto your yard. It will be good until your next grass cutting. Use the spinning dial from your indoor game and you are set to go! After a good game of Twister why not play a game of water balloon baseball. Or forgo the formal game and just set a tub of water balloons in front of kids with plastic baseball bats and let 'em 'have at it!' Summer time - Summer time - fun - fun Summer time! ENJOY!
