Carney Family Newsletter for August

New Beginnings


 Summer is almost over and everything starts anew.....like school for instance. A wonderful new start for the girls who are starting college and Sean who starts his senior year in high school. New projects like Mike and Twin's new windows. Soon there will beautiful fall colors and cool sunny days.



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Happy Birthday to me!              
 Well, amazingly, I turned 75 this past Saturday. Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes!




My Landscaper




Gettysburg
Jim and Mary Ann took a trip to Gettysburg, Pa. to visit our history of the Civil War. They also stopped by Hershey to shop for chocolate! 
Beautiful, cool summer weather made the trip a big success and now Jim and Mary Ann are looking forward to a trip to Niagra Falls in October.








Solar Eclipse


 Our big event of the summer was the Solar Eclipse on August 21. Amy, Allison and John traveled about an hour south of their home to get a view of the total eclipse. Armed with eclipse glasses, drinks, snacks, chairs and umbrellas they had fun for this totally free event!

In Andrews, SC

 Mike welcoming (worshiping or welcoming the sun). They had almost a total eclipse in their part of Kansas. We had 80% in Michigan.
 Friend Debbie, Mikey, Twin and friends in the back, viewing the moon and sun.

Goodbye Emma

Window Project
 Mike and Twin just recently invested in brand new windows for their entire house. Big project but they will recoup that in savings of energy costs.

Good Luck Emma
 All of Emma's worldly possessions dropped at the curb in front of her dorm in Lincoln Park, Ill.
Class started yesterday at DePaul University.


 Emma and her Roommate, Liz Becker
 All looks so neat and organized. Work hard Emma..... don't let any of that tuition money go to waste!




School Days, School Days

Mass Mob
                        Recently went to a monthly event called Mass Mob where people go to Mass at a Detroit Catholic Church. This is St. Albertus. For more go to the link below to learn about the church.
 After the Mass we went over to Sweetest Heart of Mary's for their Pierogi festival. Great food and a polka band...yea!

YUM



Until next month, take care everyone. Let me know if you have any news. I will do a piece next month on Allison's start of culinary school with pictures and so on. 



Have a great Labor Day!
