Carney Family Newsletter November

Santa Claus is coming to town...

Only one month until Christmas so all you boys and girls better behave because Santa sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake (kind of creepy)
I hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and thanks to the one family who sent me pictures!

Family News
Just a few tidbits of news:
Please send good wishes to Emma who is without a car.....she demolished her car when some nasty woman pulled in front of her. Luckily just a few bumps and bruises but the car is pretty much a goner.
Congrats to Liam who made the freshman basketball team....can't wait to see him play!
Did I tell you that Allison is the official photographer for Pirateland? She doesn't get paid but gets bragging right and who know where it may lead. I see her photographs on their facebook page.
And I did a number on my knee. It is all swollen and I am hobbling...hurts like the devil.

Happy Birthday Amy

Our best wishes to Amy who is the baby in the family and just turned 45!

Happy 75th Birthday to Grandpa Joe

Happy Thanksgiving

Where I spent some of my day....a rainy Thanksgiving at the park.

A Kansas Thanksgiving dinner....looks good. I heard that Twin made her famous Pecan Pie...yum!

Thanksgiving at Pirateland where Allison took photos. Dinner after at California Dreamin' so I guess that was a California Thanksgiving.

Bon Voyage

to the Mitsuoka family who is cruisin' to Jamaica and beyond. Have a great time and we want to see pictures next month.

News From Around the World

Last day of the month and I am finally getting around to doing the newsletter....just in time for Halloween and the presidential election. I am working to get Hillary elected. Every Monday I put in a few hours making phone calls on Hillary's behalf. So by the time you read this we may already know if we have made history, if not, we are all moving across the river to Canada. 

It's a rainy Sunday, so on with the news.

Happy 18th Birthday Allison!

I know that Allison had a great birthday as she spent it in Charlotte at Carowinds

She is voting this year....1st time!

Music

When rock and roll was in it's infancy, we relied on the radio for new artists and all the music. The only way we knew what these performers looked like was a magazine like this. Later there was American Bandstand on TV where we could see an occasional group perform. When my kids were teens it was all MTV. Music groups broke through with their music videos and heavy rotation pretty much guaranteed their success. Now youtube is a big part of getting your music out there and John is an avid youtube watcher. He became fans of these two performers and went to Charleston to see them play. Sounds familiar...one of our family in a bar listening to live music.

News From Ohio

I had a wonderful time in Ohio. It was so good to be back in my old stomping grounds. I enjoyed time spent with Jim and Mary Ann and also visiting my Aunt Pauline, Aunt Mildred and my cousin Joan. The weather was great and the colors peak. I visited the cemeteries, Harding Park, Mill Creek Park, rode through familiar areas of Pennsylvania and Amish country. I also loved eating out every meal and was surrounded by restaurants of every kind. I also enjoyed seeing Jim and Mary Ann's newly decorated family room. It was a great trip and I have 450 photos to prove it.

If anyone has picture of Halloween celebrations, please send them to me as well as any other news you might have. It is greatly appreciated.
