Carney Family Newsletter for September 2015

In the News

Happy September everyone! Not much news this month. I waited all month for the pictures to start rolling in but not one came except for what I gleaned from facebook. 
A very Happy Birthday to the boys who now are 14...yikes! Can't believe it. Both Mikey and Liam are playing football and I hope to have some photos of them next month. The girls are busy at school as well as working on the weekends. John has totally recovered from the nose surgery that he had a few weeks ago and has returned to work. Twin is recovering from her back surgery and has gone back to work for a short day and still wears a back brace. Thank you, Lord, for their recovery.
Jim has started hunting and is still busy with his canoe club and so on and Mary Ann is still giving me tips on upcoming HSN sales...thanks, Mary Ann. 
Had a good clean out of the basement....thanks, Tim for hauling it all out to the street. 
For the rest of the news see below .



Happy Birthday 
Mikey and Liam!







Congrats to Mike
for again riding for the MS150 and raising $325 for the cause. I admire your on-going commitment all these years for this worthwhile charity event.

Decorating Mikey's Locker
Mike and Twin in front of Mikey's locker after decorating it to 
give the team support and encouragement.


Pile of all the good stuff I forced myself to throw away
After we put all this stuff out we went to have lunch and when we got back there was a young woman sitting on the sidewalk going through all the bags and she had a pile of stuff she was taking. I was glad because there was a lot of good arts and craft things that I threw out......so someone can make use of it.


Michelle Carney is now Michelle Gearhart
Your cousin, Michelle, recently was married. I wished she would have posted pictures of the 
rest of the family. She looks so pretty....congratulations Michelle and Paul!



Mike and Twin
This is a great picture of you both! Taken at a wedding of two GTG members...see, bike riding 
is a great place to meet people.




Pet of the Month

Max belongs to Jim and Mary Ann and is a really old guy but he is still ready to play

Carney Family Newsletter for August 2015

School Daze and Other News

Back to school has started in Kansas and South Carolina with our Michigan kids starting back on September 8th and I hear that everyone is very excited about school! Ha! I personally can't wait for Autumn, my favorite time of the year. Also, Amy will be visiting me in October and I am really looking forward to that. Jim and Mary Ann were here in July but I have no pictures to share of that visit. It was so hot we just went to the movie and stayed inside and visited (and talked politics). We did go up to Jonny Cakes for breakfast and everyone enjoyed their pancakes.
When I edit a picture I try to clone out any unsightly things in the photo like trash cans for instance. Keep your eyes open for a place that I couldn't fix so I solved that by  adding something that is totally out of place but lots of fun. Let me know if you spot it.
 Continue to read on for all the family news so you can Keep up with the Carneys.


Happy Birthday to me!


Ok, no cake for me. Although I would love to be young again I don't think that I would want to go through all life's trials and tribulations. I guess that I would like to be 10 years younger and in better health....that would make me happy. This picture of me at about age 16...same age as Emma, Allison and Sean now.

Remembering Mom


Mom's birthday is August 31 and I am thinking about her and remembering that she would be 97. She has  been gone 10 years this October. Miss her!



Get Better Soon Twin!


Cheers to you too Twin and here's hoping that you have a speedy recovery from your back surgery! You are lucky to have such a great nurse to take care of you (Mike).





Back to School


Allison off to school....a junior this year. 

The whole family turned out for the first day of school and look how happy Mikey looks!
Mikey is in 8th grade this year and Sean is a Sophomore.



Look Grammy, no braces!

well, on top anyway.....bottom to come off next month




Dinner With John





Foo Fighters


Recently, Sean and Mikey and friends went to see the Foo Fighters in concert. Sean wore his Dad's old Van Halen tee shirt (that I thought I threw in the rag bag) that is from 1982. Fits you perfect Sean.....rock on!




Down the Allegheny River

These are from an overnight camping/canoe trip that Jim went on. I love the picture below and wish it was big enough to enlarge. It looks like Jim is all alone on a big river.




Belle Isle


Spent the day with the kids on Belle Isle and also lunch in Greektown. No school for them for another 2 weeks1




Go Bulldogs!

Mikey ready for some football....he is playing for his middle school team.





Rehab Addict

Went on a photo shoot downtown with a few of my photographer friends. We went to see where they are filming the new Rehab Addict for HGTV. Walked the whole Brush Park area. Nicole Curtis wasn't there but they were filming. For more check out my blog



Pets of the Month

Ginger and Saki

Would love to hear comments and get  contributions. I know that there is one of my grandkids that writes for her school newspaper....certainly she can help me out here with an article.  :-)
Also look for the bear.
See you all next month!
