New Floor Adventure

 Recently the Mitsuoka family underwent a huge upheavel. They had the whole house re-floored in one day. It was a lot of work and the whole family pitched in. Looks nice in the pictures....can't wait to see it.

Yikes!

Emma at the DIA

Emma and her friends went to the DIA on Valentines Day.....and this is cool.... when they went in they were give one foam heart to put in front of their favorite work of art. You can see the hearts on the floor in the Rivera Court for those who loved it best. Emma put her heart in front of her favorite landscape painting.

February Carney Family Newsletter

To keep up with the Carneys it is imperative that you read the Carney Family Newsletter or you will be out of the loop ;-)  Does anyone have any suggestions how Grandpa Joe can see the newsletter? Can someone contact Karen or Ruth?
The weather has been the big topic of conversation this week. This morning, here is Michigan, we broke a record with -9 overnight. I so live in fear that my pipes will freeze like they did last year. Tim's car battery died and it took him the whole day to get it fixed and he missed work. Who would have thought that they would put the battery in the wheel well.....geez! It seems that the weather in Kansas has been normal for this time of year but South Carolina has had some very cool temperatures, indeed.
We all heard that Twin got a absolutely fabulous ring for her birthday.
The TBT picture, of course, isn't posted on Thursday but you get the idea....a great old photo. Time marches on and things sure do change. Mike will be the big 50 this July, yikes!
Hope that you all had a nice Valentine Day. I was thinking of you all on Saturday.

Happy Birthday to John and Twin

John 19 

Twin 29

 TBT or throwback whenever you read this: a great old picture of Mike with his Dad.....I love it!

 Mike and Twin's look of utter shock when they see the restaurant bill after having a great but expensive meal out!

 OK, the Mitsuoka family is in for it now! They have ordered flooring for their whole house.....laminate for the kitchen and carpet for all the other rooms. Now, what to so with all the stuff to make room to lay the flooring. Yikes. I hope it will all be done when I get there! I can't wait to see the house, it is going to look so nice.

Chilly Chili Run

 Before the weather turn dreadful, Jim's canoe club made their last run for the season which they always call the chilly chili run. There are years when it is cold and snowy....but they canoe and then come back for some hot homemade chili. This year the temperature was in the 40s.......so it wasn't so chilly after all and it looks like they had a good turn out. Now they are planning for next season.
