Carney Family Newsletter for October

Have a spooktacular Halloween

It's a rainy Halloween here in Michigan. It's scary out there even without the ghosts and goblins.

I hope everyone is well and staying away from those flu germs.

My favorite month is over and now November is upon us...ugh! Snow already in Kansas. I have Mike's visit to look forward to though and Thanksgiving!

 Happy Birthday

We are all sending birthday wishes your way Allison, on your special 21st birthday!

Kinzua Bridge State Park

 Recently Jim and Mary Ann visited the Kinzua State Park and got to walk on the amazing Sky Walk Bridge. The bridge is 301 feet above the Kinzua Gorge. Mary Ann especially liked looking down where people looked like little ants.

Congratulations Sean

 On your promotion to Lance Corporal!

Carney Family Newsletter for September

Fighting the Good Fight

I've been stricken down....by a virulent germ (see pic of germ below.)

The germ is still bouncing around in my chest, sinuses and head. Praying I will get better soon because in one day it will be October....my favorite month of the year.
I'm still waiting for some pictures of events from this month, so check those stories out next month if you please.
Jim and Mary Ann were here for their annual visit and we had an enjoyable time. Jim fixed my garage doors (thank you Jesus) and did some other stuff for me too. It reminded me of my Dad who would bring his little tool box when he visited to fix whatever needed fixed. I called it his traveling tool box. Anyway, thank you so much Jim for your help. I really appreciate it. Also a big thank you to Tim who single handedly tackled the jungle behind my garage....yikes, what a job.




Happy 18th Birthday You Guys

 The guys have turned 18 and you can now address them as Mister. The youngest are now old enough to vote and we will have that discussion next year....lol

At the Detroit Riverwalk

 We went downtown to the River Walk and enjoyed it...especially the ships.
Also, had our favorite ice cream (soft serve) and Jo Bobs. Always good to have them here...love re-telling childhood stories with Jim.



New Orleans!

 Jacob and Allison just got back from a cruise (photos next month) but first they visited New Orleans. Here on Bourbon street, Allison said it smelled like food. Since both of them are cooks, food is always of interest.

Homecoming

 Liam and his date, Sara, for Athens Homecoming and below with friends.....

TB

 Well, I remember exactly when this picture was taken. Mike and with his fellow Marine friend, along with our friend Lisa Murphy (I wonder if she is still dancing)
The picture was taken at a Seduce show at Harpos

I am busily typing out my agenda for the next two months. Photos everyday I can in October, November Mike is coming for a visit and for Thanksgiving Sarah has invited me for dinner. So I have a lot to look forward to. Also, a Christmas trip to South Carolina for Christmas.....I am a lucky girl!
Until next month

Carney Family Newsletter for August

Well, I'm just under the wire with this month's newsletter.....August 31 with 4 hours to spare! 

August is my birthday month and I want to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes.

I have lots of pictures this month and I am always happy when everyone is represented...almost everyone. 

I hope that everyone has a great holiday weekend...of course knowing that some people do have to labor on labor day but for you lucky ones that have it off I hope you get in your last barbeque or your last swim. As for me, I'm ready to take down the flag, put away my porch furniture and plant some mums.

The First Day of Their Last Year

 It's so hard to believe that Mikey and Liam have started their senior year in high school! 12 years of school done and dusted, one more to go.

 I think that Mom captured the moment in this picture....little Liam's first day of kindergarten!

Summer Days

 I'm hoping for some "normal summer" weather not this sweltering heat. Still managing to get around to the Village, out to lunch and of course shopping.  I am thinking of all of you and wishing you a great last month of the summer. By now you have all heard about my tree story....my crazy neighbor having a go at my tree. She was caught on camera, police called and nasty letter sent. Still can't figure out why she is so focused on that tree. Psychiatrist in the house?

Happy Birthday to you guys!

Mike...... Sending wishes your way from all of us. Glad that you enjoyed IHop. Happy, Happy!

 Sean, a very happy 20th birthday to you! I'm glad that you got to spend your birthday at home.

Home for a summer visit.....

Italy

 Venice

I really enjoyed seeing all of Mikey's Italy pictures....just too bad that he isn't in any....lol

Just guessing these locations but I think that I got it right.

 Venice, Bridge of Sighs

 Florence

Pisa

 St. Peters

Some people are just lucky..... 

 ....and some people are not!

Breakfast with Liam and Emma

Be careful what you wish for

Liam and Sarge...how cute are they?

Send me news you guys. I'm looking for a front page story! I remember when I did a hard copy newsletter with a pia program called PIP that almost gave me a nervous breakdown every month. I had to beg for pictures every month as well. Now, it is so much easier doing it online and getting news and photos text to me or I grab them from Facebook or Instagram. Emma was talking about doing a podcast. I have an idea Emma. When I kick the bucket you can take over the newsletter and do it on a podcast.....lol!

Until next month....
