Carney Family Newsletter for July

Summer Days

 I'm hoping for some "normal summer" weather not this sweltering heat. Still managing to get around to the Village, out to lunch and of course shopping.  I am thinking of all of you and wishing you a great last month of the summer. By now you have all heard about my tree story....my crazy neighbor having a go at my tree. She was caught on camera, police called and nasty letter sent. Still can't figure out why she is so focused on that tree. Psychiatrist in the house?

Happy Birthday to you guys!

Mike...... Sending wishes your way from all of us. Glad that you enjoyed IHop. Happy, Happy!

 Sean, a very happy 20th birthday to you! I'm glad that you got to spend your birthday at home.

Home for a summer visit.....

Italy

 Venice

I really enjoyed seeing all of Mikey's Italy pictures....just too bad that he isn't in any....lol

Just guessing these locations but I think that I got it right.

 Venice, Bridge of Sighs

 Florence

Pisa

 St. Peters

Some people are just lucky..... 

 ....and some people are not!

Breakfast with Liam and Emma

TB

Be careful what you wish for

TB TB

Liam and Sarge...how cute are they?

Send me news you guys. I'm looking for a front page story! I remember when I did a hard copy newsletter with a pia program called PIP that almost gave me a nervous breakdown every month. I had to beg for pictures every month as well. Now, it is so much easier doing it online and getting news and photos text to me or I grab them from Facebook or Instagram. Emma was talking about doing a podcast. I have an idea Emma. When I kick the bucket you can take over the newsletter and do it on a podcast.....lol!

Until next month....

Carney Family Newsletter for June

......and the livin' is easy

Well, summer is here!  After a very cold and wet spring summer has arrived and I am not going to complain about the heat. We just had our Downriver Cruisin' which kicks off the summer season and July 4th is this Thursday so we are well into summertime.

As I write this, I am thinking of Emma who is moving into her new apartment today. I think about all my grandkids and wonder what they are doing right now.

On to the news.......

Happy Birthday Emma!

Wishing you all the best on your 20th birthday....hope you had cake!

It was only 10 miles

Puff,puff,puff

Gatlinburg

Tim and Sarah went to Tennessee to attend a wedding....beautiful weather and they had a great time.

Takeshi's Pet Snake

Imagine you are in your backyard pulling weeds and are confronted with a poisonous Copperhead....yikes! Snake Holes all over back there.  The snake was gone the next day. I can tell you who won't be going in that backyard anytime soon.

Waiting for Emma

PGA Golf in Detroit

Tim and Liam at the Rocket Mortgage golf classic....first PGA event in Detroit ever. Tim went with his friend Todd again on Saturday. I think he was in heaven those two days.

Just back from Italy

Mikey and friends just back after a fabulous trip to Italy. I'm waiting for pictures and hope to have them for next month's newsletter.

Smokin'

Motown Museum

I have lived in the Detroit area for many years and never visited Hitsville USA. Barb and Mary Jo and I had a great time seeing all the Motown history and studio A where all the classic songs were recorded.

Star of the Month

Takeshi is our star if the month for June. What a guy! He is kind and generous and Mr. Popularity down in the Myrtle Beach area. We never go anywhere that he isn't recognized and greeted. We are so lucky to have him in our family.

Young explorers.....Emma and Liam

Me in my backyard.
After filling the bird feeder, hanging a new niger sock, cleaning and filling the Hummingbird feeder, cleaning and filling the birdbath, I am now ready to relax. Only my binoculars are missing....LOL.

Hurray for the USA

Happy Memorial Day everyone...I hope that you have a great holiday weekend especially Sean in the military ( will they have a service on base? ) Let's remember what we are really celebrating.
We are all hoping for better weather for our holiday celebrations. Our Memorial Day parade just got done before the rains came. I want clear weather to plant my flowers and others have outdoor activities planned too.....(smoking Mike?)

TB 80s

This picture has a story to tell of everyday life in the 80s in Gibraltar.
The kids always helped carry in groceries when I did the big shopping trip. It was a big deal because treats were bought and pop and cereal and other good stuff. In this picture Tim, for some reason, is wearing my hat. There is my AMC Spirit in the background. I remember that pink jacket of Amy's. Just a snapshot in time of everyday life. No posing here.


Star of the Month

Mikey....your adventures are just about to begin!


Until next month......
