Fun in the Sun!

A group of Illinois Extension retirees recently paid a visit to Charlotte Crawford in Green Valley Arizona. She treated them to breakfast, and they enjoyed lots of sunshine!

Pictured are Carol Schlitt, Mary Ann Adams, Paula Robinson, Charlotte, Janet Burnett and Diane Duewer. According to the report I received, it was a fun trip for everyone.

Thinking of Our Friends


A couple of our past co-workers are going through some hardship at this time. Kay Mayberry is enduring some health issues. Ranelle Hubele and her husband, Roger, were involved in a car accident recently, and both suffered some injuries.

Our thoughts to "get well soon" go out to Kay, Ranelle, and Roger. If you would like an address to send a card, let me know at ieafcslife@gmail.com.

Ask Shirley 

This is the photo you will see of Shirley Camp if you visit the Mrs. Wages website. Check it out at: mrswages.com, or you can go directly to her page at shirleycamp.com. Great picture, Shirley!

You will also find lots of interesting food preservation information on everything from Chowder to Salsa to Pectin--and more. Shirley works part time for Mrs. Wages, and she writes articles for the Journal of Nutrition & Behavior as well. She also has three new nieces and nephews to spoil, and helps care for her mother who is in assisted living.
