PLAINDEALER- WED. AUGUST 13, 1969 Y WHISPERING OAKS GERTPtm DISNEY RETURN FROM WESTERN AND SOUTHERN TRIP \lr. and Mrs. K. Sorenseft, 45H Sussex, have just returned from an extended vacation throughout the west and south western states. They left July 7 going north through Wis­ consin, Minnesota, South Da­ kota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho to Oregon where they visited with their daughter, Ruth and her husband. After a week in Oregon they took off south to California vis­ iting relatives in San Pablo, Valentia and Glendale then east out of Los Angeles through the desert and into Arizona and New Mexico and then south to Hous­ ton, Texas, to visit their two sons, Wendell and Ralph, and their families. On .July 31 they left Houston, went north through Texas, Ok­ lahoma, Missouri and back to McHenry. On their trip they saw the Badlands, Mt. Rush- more, the Corn Palace, Mt. Hood and Crater Lake-Craters of the Moon, National Parks, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Se­ quoia, and Kings Canyon. They said it was too much to see for such a short time and they will go back for more some other time. VACATIONERS Mr. and Mrs. Orville Heath spent one week vacation in Bal­ sam Lake, Wis. They had a good trip. Joining them were Mrs. Heath's two sisters, Mrs. Helen Sivestri and Mrs. Angie DiSlvestri. They did a lot of fishing and relaxing. Mrs. Heath caught a 2V2 lb. bass. They returned home for the week­ end to attend Mrs. Heath's neph­ ew's wedding. After the wed­ ding they left for Escanaba, Mich., to visit Mrs. Heath's mother who is 82 years old. They had a lovely time visiting in Michigan and sightseeing. They saw_J*e*^~brother who has eight children. GRANDSONS VISIT Jim and Robert McConnell of Beloit were visiting ' their grandmother, Mrs. Smythe of Sussex. While here they made some acquaintances of other little boys in the neighborhood, Ma rk Piertle, our grandson^ and a very nice polite little boy from Cumberland, the Dietz boy. There are not too many little boys around. LUNCHEON HOSTESS Mrs. Sauter of Sussex was a lovely hostess for several of the ladies from the neighbor­ hood. Last Tuesday she served a nice lunch, of a fresh fruit salad which was delectable, and sandwiches that were eye ap­ pealing as well as tasty. They were made of dark brown bread with cream cheese and jellies of various colors, and a big piece of dessert. CANADIAN TRIP Our daughter and family just returned from a Canadian fish­ ing trip. Our grandson, Mark, 385-7515' caught his first big fish, a 3 lb. bass. Mickie our 8 year- old granddaughter, won her Red Cross swimming award. She had to pass several difficult man­ euvers for the instructor. She was thrilled about this. Steve, the four-year-old, amazed the instructor by swimming under water. Their dad pulled in a lot \ of fish including a 6 lb. northern. Their mother was in­ trigued with the Canadian scen­ ery ami the gift shops. Mother and son, Mark, spent a couple of days staying on here en­ joying the last of their vaca­ tion. We took Mark to the go- kart races. ENTERTAIN GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. L. Krantz, our former neighbors for many a year, came out to Whispering Oaks to see where we located, and are getting ideas that this might be a nice place in which to grow older. Jhey liked the serenity of the plWce. Also an­ other friend came to see us. She was Mrs. Marge Michealis from Sarah Coventry. Then Mrs. Ruby Skirving, John Law and Grant Disney came out for a cookout, so a busy Sunday for us. 200 POUNDS OF ANGLES, BUMPS GREET FAIR-GOERS A baby camel is something only a mother camel could love. He is a couple hundred pounds of angles and lumps in unex­ pected places, with 95 percent of his being taken i^) with legs. From Roman nose to ropey tail he his covered naturally, in genuine camel's hair. In repose he resembles a slightly soiled lap rug with legs. In motion he resembles a slightly soiled lap rug in motion. In voice he resembles nothing else on earth. Most baby animals call their mothers in dainty, plaintive tones. The baby camel throws back his head, points his blunt­ ed nose to the sky and utters a lament similar to a tugboat with laryngitis heard over a faulty public address system. His mother thinks he's charming. Visitors to the Illinois State Fair can form their own opin­ ions. The (h^by, named Spring­ field because he was born into show business enroute to the Illinois State Fair, is part of the Gene Holter Mini Big Top, located under its own tent north of the Dairy building (approp­ riately enough, Springfield is noused on Illinois avenue on the grounds). He may or may not choose to sing for visitors but like all the animals in the show he can be petted and patted with complete assurance that he is safe to handle. He can even be admired-- especially if you're a mother camel or your taste runs to slightly soiled lap rugs that holler.
