Happy 4th

to all my family!

Carney Family Newsletter for June

Happy Summer!

We are half way through June already and summer will fly by so make the most of it! 

We have had too much rain here in Michigan and in South Carolina the temperatures and humidity have been brutal. But every once in a while we have a beautiful day like today and I have sheets hanging on the line outside and the porch all ready for a nap on the glider. 

Allison just spent 10 days with me so check out the pictures below. I miss her that's for sure.

We have some city events coming up here in Lincoln Park....the annual Cruising Downriver is at the end of the month. I think I will try to get some photos of all the old cars (although I am older than most of them) In mid-July they are having a 50 year celebration to honor the MC5. There will be a dinner on Saturday and on Sunday a concert and tribute at the bandshell. This band was huge in the 70's and they are all from Lincoln Park. There is a lot of history with the Smiths, the poster artist and their manager John Sinclair. Most members are now dead but I was lucky enough to see the singer perform in the 80's.

Watch their live performance of "Kick Out the Jams" from 1969

Happy 16th Birthday to Emma!

I know that you had a great birthday Emma and we all send our best wishes to you!

The Crash

As everyone has probably heard, a big Cadillac Escalade pulled out in front of John causing a big

crash, totaling John's van. Luckily no one was hurt. John just bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The dealership takes your picture with your new car and posts it on their website so here is the whole Mitsuoka family with John's new SUV. 

All Around Athlete 

Their team placed 1st in this city-wide track event

The speed was enhanced by these lucky superman socks and yellow and orange shoes...they fly!

Liam plays ball for a travel baseball team The Thunder. Below, old grandma with her trusty camera got a good shot of Liam getting this base hit.

Emma's party

The theme was from the movie "The Grand Budapest Hotel" Allison was in town so she got to go the party....good time had by all!

Allison's Visit to Michigan

At Belle Isle

At the DIA

At Greenfield Village

Allison was a perfect house guest. I appreciate all her help with setting up the porch, yard work and the Costco trip (I now have enough bottled water to last the summer). I had fun...it's good to be around young people (or so my doctor tells me)

Any contributions to the newsletter would be greatly appreciated.....email me news and pictures please. 

Catch you all in July

Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day is the kickoff of summer but we also honor all our fallen heroes from all wars past and present.....never forget.

Happy Birthday to Tim

                                             Best wishes from all of us for a great birthday

In the News for May

I had some work done on my house and am now working on the garden, still cleaning as well. I am getting ready for my company coming on June 4th....can't wait!
Well, school is coming to an end and plans are in the works. Sean is taking drivers ed this summer and Mikey is signed up to play 8th grade football at his middle school. Emma got a job at a animal boarders, taking care of the dogs and cats boarding there...hopefully no snakes. Allison has already started her job at Miyabi working in the money room. I figure that Emma will make $1 more an hour because our minimum wage is higher in Michigan. Doesn't seem fair somehow. Too bad the POTUS can't push through a national minimum wage of $10. Liam is playing baseball and that's about all the family news for now.
If anyone has any news for next month's newsletter, let me know so I can cover all the happenings with the Carneys.

Mother's Day

 Thanks you for all the Mother's Day wishes and gifts and breakfast (Tim and Liam)
This is how Amy was able to get her family all together for Mother's Day....she and Allison ate at Miyabi where Takeshi and John were both working.

Finding Mike

He thinks he's a mobster

 Acting silly

My Camera Class

 This is our huge group at the most popular shoot no matter what semester...the barn shoot. We had a beautiful day, a 10 car caravan, and wonderful fresh air.......albeit with farm smells as well!

Dad. Amy and me at Hart Plaza in the 80s.....wow look at those silly sun glasses that I had on. No wonder Amy doesn't look too happy....being seen with a Mom like me. OMG! (of course OMG was unheard of back then) How times change  ;-)


Can't wait for June to sit on my porch, walk in the woods, spend time with Allison and fight off the mosquito.

Thanks for checking in everyone....feedback is welcome and encouraged.
