Carney Family Newsletter for May

Hurray for the USA

Happy Memorial Day everyone...I hope that you have a great holiday weekend especially Sean in the military ( will they have a service on base? ) Let's remember what we are really celebrating.
We are all hoping for better weather for our holiday celebrations. Our Memorial Day parade just got done before the rains came. I want clear weather to plant my flowers and others have outdoor activities planned too.....(smoking Mike?)

Happy Birthday Tim

Wishing you the best of birthdays!

TB 80s

This picture has a story to tell of everyday life in the 80s in Gibraltar.
The kids always helped carry in groceries when I did the big shopping trip. It was a big deal because treats were bought and pop and cereal and other good stuff. In this picture Tim, for some reason, is wearing my hat. There is my AMC Spirit in the background. I remember that pink jacket of Amy's. Just a snapshot in time of everyday life. No posing here.


Star of the Month

Mikey....your adventures are just about to begin!


Until next month......

South Carolina Vacation

Just got back from Myrtle Beach. Thanks to the Mitsuoka family for their kindness and generosity! I had a great 3 weeks visit and appreciated all your hospitality. Thanks, John, for the use of your car. Had so much fun going to Magnolia Plantation (above), shopping, eating, trips to the beach and the gardens and just the little evening drives.
I took tons of photos and will be posting them on my blog...check them out at:
