Carney Family Newsletter for August 2020

 Open???

Well, it's been a busy news month and there is a lot to report. First, everyone is well except Emma who still is suffering from a cough (negative for Covid). I think that everyone is making the most of summer considering the circumstances. School is another thing....will we open or won't we open, if we do open how long will we stay open? Things that we could rely on no longer are a sure thing. Lots of news so let's get on with it.

Happy Birthday to Me!

 Thank you Tim and Sarah for lunch at the country club! And thank you Liam for joining us. Also thank you for all the gifts and birthday wishes. A special shout out to Mike for his gift of the Donald Trump toilet bowl brush....I will really enjoy using it!

Congratulations Mikey

    And a cause for celebration! and they actually had a graduation ceremony! I got to watch it live on the school's website.  Mikey looks proud of himself.

Home on Leave

Sean was home to celebrate his girlfriend's graduation and his brother's graduation.

The Prom that Wasn't

At Athens the official prom was cancelled so some of the parents decided to have a prom for the kids. Right before the event some of the kids tested positive for Covid and it was cancelled.....too bad. Some very nice photos though.

What a nice picture!

Carney Family Newsletter for June

The new normal....


So we thought that we were done with Covid19? Looks like it is around to stay and we have had to adapt to the new normal. The good new is,  it is summer and most things are open...but the hoops we have to jump through just to get a haircut.  We have to wonder how long this can go on and can we continue to stay safe.
Many of our favorite things are cancelled for the summer. I had hoped to have some visitors in September and October but that has been cancelled as well. I haven't seen my friends since March and I haven't seen Liam since December. In some ways life isn't that much different but in other ways it is most depressing.
Happy summer, happy July 4th and don't forget to always wear a mask.




Happy 21st Emma

 Wishing Emma a very happy 12st birthday!

CONGRATULATIONS!

  So proud of Liam and Mikey! They are graduated!

Just a little golf....

Carney Family Newsletter for May

Fighting the good fight.................

Hello Summer...finally here! It makes life a little easier but here in Michigan we are still confined to our homes until June 12. Nothing is open here in Wayne County....no bars, restaurants, hair salons or barbers. South Carolina is pretty much opened up with some restrictions as is Kansas. Will we ever be rid of this terrible virus? It has caused so much suffering and we lost Grandpa Joe because of it. 

As terrible as these riots are all across the country, I was relieved not to have to listen to continual coverage of Covid19.

I'm getting new windows this week...yea. also, had my big blue spruce cut down. More work yet to be done. Thank you Tim for helping me out......much appreciated.

Happy Birthday Tim

A very big birthday wish goes out to Tim

It's Gone!

My big Blue Spruce is gone....still waiting for stump removal. Don't know what my neighbor will set her sights on next.

Chicago

Emma is back in town just in time for the riots. Here she is in front of the coffee shop where she works.

New Family Member

Allison has a new kitty called Apollo...he is a rescue kitten and looks like he is already a mischievous
boy. The look on his face in this picture is precious.

Already checking out fun places to play

Bye until next month!

Family Lost This Year

RIP

Pauline Fabian

 This is my Mother's youngest brother, Tom, who passed away many years ago. We lost Aunt Pauline last summer. Wasn't she a beautiful bride? I will miss her...one of my favorite aunts.

RIP 

Mildred Chopko

I lost my Aunt Mildred just a few months ago. Mildred was my mother's youngest sister. She was the last connection to my Mom. I loved this old picture of her....she was a beautiful person.

Our Family's Loss

RIP

Grandpa Joe

Last week we lost our father, our grandfather and my once husband to Covid19. 

We will miss him but rest assured he is having a beer in heaven with Tom and they are both talking

at the same time....catching up so to speak.

Always remember

Joe Carney
