until you try!)

April and May are months of transitions for me. As you know, Cindy Simon has retired and new handlers are joining the team.  Eileen Neff will be going out alone now as our newest handler – and Diane Krejci will attend handler training this month.  (Diane is a retired therapist from CMH – so glad she wanted to join us). One of our greatest blessings is faithful and loving handlers.  I couldn’t go anywhere without them!!!

Life continues to be busy.  A few of our special events:  Prairie View Elementary,

Pilgrim Park Middle School, Shorehaven Retirement, Carthage College.   These visits, in addition to my regular, full schedule, keep us all busy.  There is always time for any congregational needs – please call if you would like a visit!  We are so often called outside of our regular visits to special patients at the hospitals.  Lately there have been several hospice patients who just want a hug and a little comfort.  We are pretty much back to visiting anywhere in the hospitals – which is great!!!

OK – time for the riddle answer:  Frogs love Croak-Us.  Ha!Haaaa!!!
