AGELESS ADVENTURES
Fun and Memorable Date Ideas for Older Adults
For those of a certain age, it can be too easy to forget to prioritize the connection between us and our partners. While snuggling into pajamas and watching a familiar favorite on TV is convenient, breaking up the routine and embarking on a romantic outing is a great way to brighten the flame between you and your significant other. With these date night ideas, older adults can rekindle the warmth and love they share in fun new ways. Court with a class. With a little searching, you can easily find a variety of educational, culinary, and hobby classes available. From learning how to prepare and roll your own pasta to mastering painting, you have ample opportunities to enjoy learning a new skill together. If you are so inclined, you can even go to a PaintNite event, where fun-seeking couples paint along with a tutor, in-person or virtual, while enjoying the adult beverages of their choice. Pitch the perfect picnic. On a clear and sunny day, a daytime picnic can be an ideal way to enjoy nature and leisure at the same time. Pack a flavorful dinner and head out to a park or pristine plot of nature, then sit down, reminisce, and enjoy! Alternatively, you can head out near sunset and watch as the sun drifts down and the stars light up. A stargazing picnic can make for a memorable and romantic rendezvous. Changes Are Afoot

The experience will bring back memories from the birth of your romance and the incredible legacy of love you have built with your partner in the years since. This can also be an excellent way to celebrate an anniversary and may prove popular enough to become a yearly tradition!
Remember Your ANOC in September!
Many readers of Lyn’s Ledger likely remember me saying at some point in a conversation that, “My role as your health insurance broker is not to defend the morality nor the efficacy of our system. My role is to help you navigate that system.” As we look forward to the upcoming Annual Enrollment Period, I feel this more strongly than ever. Our health care system is made up of what I often call the three behemoths: the government, the pharmaceuticals, and in the middle are the health insurance companies. In the face of ever-increasing drug costs (pharmaceuticals), certain provisions of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (the government) will go into effect in January 2025. Some of these new regulations will dramatically change Medicare Part D and the Prescription Drug Program (insurance companies). While changes are intended to help Medicare
