My South Carolina Vacation

Welcome to Murrells Inlet! I had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with the family. I was able to go to Brookgreen twice with a scooter ( thanks Amy for the pass and thank you and Allison for helping me out with the scooter). Also, enjoyed time at the state park. Thank you everyone for all your kindnesses, your patience. Thank you John for the use of your vehicle. I miss you all!

On my last day at the state park I was so thrilled to see this beautiful Painted Bunting. Every year I see it right before I leave to go home. Not a good picture but so happy that I got to see him!

Carney Family Newsletter for March

 Happy St. Patrick's Day


I'm afraid there is not a lot of news for March . Next month, for April, I will have a lot of pictures from my South Carolina trip as well as some great photos from Emma and Christian's trip to Mexico. 

Can't wait to see everyone in SC! So excited to have someone to hang out with, go to lunch with and to visit Brookgreen and the state park. Looking forward to my yearly vacation.

A huge congrats to Mikey who made the honor roll at Johnson County Community College! A perfect 4.0! Job well done Mikey!



Happy Birthday Takeshi
