The costumes/characters were designed to look like the objects and yet flexible enough for the cast members to be able to move, even dance, in them! From the opening song when the town’s people appear, to the end of the story, each and every perfectly placed gesture and the up-tempo music keep the show ticking along. The story may have been originally meant for adult high society centuries ago, but this updated produc-tion had something for all ages and was good fun throughout.

CRITICS CORNER

OAK RIDGE BOYS By Linda Hauck

The Oak Ridge Boys are an American country and gospel vocal quartet. The group was founded in the 1940s as the Oak Ridge Quartet. They became popular in southern gospel during the 1950s. Their name was officially changed to the Oak Ridge Boys in the early 1960s, and they remained a gospel group until the mid-1970s, when they changed their image and concentrated on country music.

Their most well-known country and crossover hits are "Elvira", "Bobbie Sue", and "American Made". The great music is the same. They range in age now from 68 to 77.

July 10 was a very entertaining afternoon for 66 retirees.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET By Linda Hauck

On December 4, 1956, four young musicians, Elvis Pres-ley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. MILLION DOL-LAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, featur-ing a score of rock hits including "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "That's All Right," "Sixteen Tons," "Great Balls of Fire," "Walk the Line," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Who Do You Love?," "Matchbox," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Hound Dog" and more. Jerry Lee Lewis really threw his heart and soul into char-acter and was just hysterical jumping around on his pi-ano. This thrilling musical brings you inside the recording stu-dio with four major talents who came together as a red-hot rock 'n' roll band for one unforgettable night.

Sixty five retirees enjoyed an afternoon of luncheon and great nostalgic music at the Old Log Theater on July 13.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST By Nancy Dostal

On July 20, Sixty-two retirees and guests enjoyed a recent production of Beauty & the Beast at the Chanhassen. Beauty and the Beast is a story not quite as old as time. It’s a fairy tale with both villains and heroes, romance, hu-mor, incredible dancing, stunning costumes/set and it de-lights audiences of all ages. Unlike most fairy tales we know when it was written, who wrote it, and why: in 1740, by Mlle. Barbot de Villeneuve as an adult entertainment for French salon society. The story revolves around Belle, the daughter of the village odd-ball who sacrifices herself to free her father who has been captured by a Beast. The Beast is in fact a Prince cursed to live as an animal until he learns to love. The wardrobe department deserves a standing ovation for the fabulous and impressive costumes in this production, we were all in awe. Most of the household objects/characters were in whites and golds.

Thanks to those that continue to sign up to receive the newsletter electronically. We really appreciate it. Techie Questions from Members Do you have any specific questions about technology or something specific you would like to see covered in this column? Send your suggestions,

questions, and comments to the club at [email protected]. We will try to address them in future issues.

Have you upgraded to Windows 10 yet? If not, you must know that the free upgrade to Windows 10 has ended as of July 29th. Will Microsoft extend this offer or come out with another offer. Anything is possible but from what I can determine it doesn’t sound like either of those options is going to happen. One thing that Microsoft has announced is that they will con-tinue to make the upgrade to Windows 10 free if you use assistive technologies. If you are like me, you probably are won-

dering what is assistive technologies. Well here is a brief description:

Typically features which aid users with physical disabilities like poor eyesight or limited mobility. That said the official Mi-crosoft Accessibility page for Windows 10 is wide ranging and lists assistive technologies that many people will use as a

matter of course:

Use Magnifier to see items on the screen

Use text or visual alternative to sounds

Use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) to type

Using Keyboard shortcuts

Hear text read aloud with Narrator

Make your PC easier to use with Ease of Access Settings

Use Speech Recognition to control your PC

As such there is some confusion around exactly how liberal Microsoft will be in applying this new free upgrade rule.

So stay tuned. As I am writing this before July 29th there are not a lot of details of exactly what is going to happen after that

date. Hopefully in the next month of so I can give you an update on this subject.

GOD’S PLAN FOR AGING Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys and other things thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things requiring them to bend, reach & stretch. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have additional calls of nature requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more exercise. God looked down and saw that it was good. So if you find as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it’s God’s will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath. Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older #9 Death is the number 1 killer in the world. #8 Life is sexually transmitted. #7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. #6 Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich. #5 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years. #4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing. #3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. #2 In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal. #1 Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow. Don't ignore this message. This is your only warning.

SERENITY

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:

'And what do you think is the best thing

about being 104?' the reporter asked...

She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'

I've sure gotten old!

I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,

new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes.

I'm half blind,

can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,

take 40 different medications that

make me dizzy, winded, and subject to

blackouts.

Have bouts with dementia.

Have poor circulation;

hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.

Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.

Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,

I still have my driver's license.

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,

so I got my doctor's permission to

join a fitness club and start exercising.

I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.

I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But,

by the time I

got my leotards on,

the class was over.

Know how to prevent sagging?

Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.

SERENITY (cont.)

It's scary when you start making the same noises

as your coffee maker

These days about half the stuff

in my shopping cart says,

'For fast relief.'

My memory’s not as sharp as it used to be.

Also, my memory’s not as sharp as it used to be.

THE SENILITY PRAYER :

Grant me the senility to forget the people

I never liked anyway,

the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and

the eyesight to tell the

difference.
