Carney Family Newsletter for November

A Day Late and a Penny Short

....thats me! Sorry to be late with the newsletter but I have been a very busy lady. I had a great visit with Mike last week, Thanksgiving with Tim and Sarah and and lunch with Emma who is in town for the holiday. Lots of news this month so let's get started!

Happy Birthday Amy

 Wishing Amy a very Happy Birthday!

 Celebrating at Top Golf

Happy Birthday to Grandpa Joe!

Thanksgiving

 Amy helped to host a Thanksgiving feast for the folks at Pirateland, then the family went to Cracker Barrel for their dinner. Wow, the weather looks pretty nice there.

 Tim and Sarah at Harsens Island for Thanksgiving. A big thank you to Sarah and her family for inviting me to spend Thanksgiving with them.... I had a lovely time...lots of good food and lots of good company.

 Sarah, Tim and Ginger

 I had a great time tracking ships that went by. Sarah's Dad was kind enough to golf cart me near the water so that I could get a close up.

Going to the Ball

Mike in Michigan

 Dinner at the Detroit Country Club with Tim and Sarah

Had a great time and a nice dinner...very relaxing and enjoyable evening.

 Doing Detroit

Mike drove me all around the city starting with Del Ray where we went to see where they are building the new international bridge. We went to Third Man records where we watched records being pressed. We also shopped at Shinola but didn't have the means to buy anything in there.

 Lunch in Greektown at Pegasus 

 Oompa

 Mike digging into the Saganaki . I really enjoyed the day. Also a big thank you Mike for the security camera, the new shelf and all the other things that you did while you were here.

Stacy and Amy...late 80's

I am really looking forward to Christmas in SC and will probably do a newsletter when I get back combining December and January......send me news or you will be stuck with all my vacation photos...lol

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
