Carney Family Newsletter for August

August, A BIG News Month

Happy August and Happy Labor day everyone!

Well wishes go out to Emma, who has recovered from Covid and Twin who recently had surgery on both of her hands. Glad that you are both better.

I had a wonderful birthday and you'll read all about it in a minute. I want to give a big THANK YOU to Takeshi, Amy and Allison for coming all the way from SC to celebrate my 80th birthday with me and to Tim who is always there to support me. Also thank you for the flowers, cake, Cherry pie, cards, birthday dinner and all the well wishes that you sent me. It made my birthday a special one.

I really appreciate all the work that Takeshi, Amy and Allison did while they were here.....the under the bed job was huge and desperately needed, plus all the yard work and repairs......Bless you all!

Now that my power is back on let's get to the news.

BREAKING NEWS

Takeshi Gets Thrown out of Cedar Point

On Sunday, August 28, Takeshi was escorted out of Cedar Point. This was a result of his videotaping from a roller coaster. Him and Allison had been in the park a short time and had ridden only 2 rides when the incident happened. The park has a hard and fast rule about videos so he was given no warning, escorted out and not given a refund. When asked how he felt about this incident, he replied : "I don't give a shit"

Happy Birthday to Me !

Why didn't my Mom comb my hair before this picture was taken? That was me as a kid, messy hair, dress too short and undies showing.......lol

Carney Family Newsletter for July

Keepin' up with the Carneys

Loving this summer....rain is plentiful in Kansas and South Carolina but here in Michigan we are very low on the rain gauge. We have had some Covid issues again in our family. Tim came down with it but is now back to work after testing negative. Amy also got Covid but a mild case. She is back to work Friday. This variance is very, very contagious so keep that in mind when you are around a crowd. It's difficult to get back in the mask wearing mode but use your common sense and keep one handy.

Soon we will be in the "dog days" and I'll give anyone a dollar who can tell me how that saying came about. Summer is flying by.

Not exactly looking forward to my 80th birthday next month but I am looking forward to a birthday visit from Amy, Takeshi and Allison. They will help me celebrate this momentous accomplishment in my life.

Happy Birthday Mike
