My jewelry company

Hi!

My jewelry company, trinkets by michal, has been selected to be in Carnaval on the Mile (a Jazz Festival in March). I'm also in Art in the Park-see the image below-on January 4th.

YAY!

We haven't seen any movies in a while.
How was Fred Claus?
Are you ready for Christmas?

Pictures from our friend's wedding

Hi-
Here are some pictures from our friends Rebecca and Alex's wedding last Saturday:


















This weekend we have two birthday parties and are doing some Christmas shopping. We're also going to see Fred Claus tonight-has anyone else seen it?
Love,

Thanksgiving...

We had a GREAT time in Cocoa Beach... It was great to see everyone and have all be SO relaxed.

Here are some photos...

Love you,

Maureen

TOMORROW, TOMORROW!!!

We'll see you, Tomorrow!

It's only a day away!!!!

Love,

Michal

WOW!

You all are really keeping up the blog and now it's ME who's not staying with it. I'm sorry about that!

Just one week until we see you all in Cocoa! I can't wait. AND-it looks like it will be cooler there than here in Miami, so we're looking forward to that as well.

We'll be leaving after Lionel and I get out of work. We should be able to leave earlier than normal, but we're not sure what time that is exactly. Either way, we'll be there Wednesday night.

Here are some photos from our Halloween party and my friend Rebecca's bridal shower a couple weekends ago.

Me as Wonder Woman with my friend as a punk-rocker

Mom and I at my friend Rebecca's bridal shower

I'm having a jewelry party this weekend to show off my necklaces. I also applied to have a booth at an art fair in Coral Gables in March and should hear back by mid-December.

See you all soon!
Love,
Michal

Maureen-why don't we all just bring a black shirt to take the photo? I'm sure everyone has one and they all don't have to be exactly the same.

Halloween

Scott & Katie both went to Halloween parties and Lindsey stayed home to pass out candy...

Mamareen

Yes it's - Mama Reen - my younger neice and nephew call me Aunt Reen and my girlfriends twins are trying to call me Reen so it just fits...

We had a great time last night at Buddy's birthday dinner! - New Italian dishes for everyone (except Glenn & Buddy they stayed with the tried and true) - Grandma's cake was delicious!

What's with see you Feb? - Won't we see you in November first?

We'd like to plan to get a family photo in November when we're all together so let's think about how we should dress for it (so we don't have the white tee shirt fiasco, again)... Any thoughts?

Have a great Halloween! - I'll post new pictures later in the week...

Thanks for The Birthday Wish

Wow! I cannot wait for February either. I have been blessed to live this long and have such a wonderful family to share my life.

Old Man Buddy

Mamareen?

Great improvement on the Silverhill website Michal. Still got a ways to go to rival the cruise sites but much better than when you took over.

Roofers been pounding all day, I thought Dad's cake was going to fall but I managed to get the layers to stick to the pan and come out broken without any help from the roofers. Put it together with icing and filling the surprise comes when we cut it.

Love ya.

Grandma

~Happy Birthday to Buddy~

Happy Birthday Buddy!

I hope you enjoyed your birthday package! We can't wait to see you in Feb..

Love,

Michal

p.s. Grandma- show Buddy this page.

Halloween photos to come, I promise!

I'll try again, too. - I wasn't successful the last time - to technical for me.

Let's see if I can post pictures... Cool! These are from homecoming and Maroon Man Group...

The tallest one is Scott - he's playing the 'drumbone'.

I'll see if he can upload the video soon.

love you, maureen

OK, we'll try again.

We just got back from the mountains and will post some pictures when I have enough techno brain to downloan and figure out how to put on here.

This is the big Florida/Georgia game weekend that your grandfather is invited to for his birthday and this year it's the big 70. I am staying home and going to Scott's band competition. We are also playing bridge this Friday night, Boutwell's and Walfords will be out of town at a wedding. Sandy is the host and we will be having it at Page's house.

Talked with Wayne and Nancy twice while we were gone, he is in bad shape and it doesn't sound like the doctor will operate on him again. I know he is feeling bad about not being able to make Thanksgiving. Sent him a box of fall goodies on Monday and told Nancy to hide her share.

Had dinner with the other Barkers last night, Lindsey wasn't feeling well and had missed socker practice, Kathryn has a new bo and a date for dinner Thursday night. Scott was just in from band practice and had pictures of his group's performane at homecoming The Maroon Mem, something like the blue mem but not as well financed.

Love you,

Grandma

Welcome!

I know we started a family blog before, but let's try this again. This time, I need you all to add info too so we can stay in touch. With all of our full lives, we need an easy way to send photos and thoughts (and Grandma's recipes). You can also post videos here (the kid's performances would be great!)

With that said-I'll start.

Lionel and I are having a Halloween party on Saturday. We've decorated the house and are getting set up. His band is going to play and even do their on rendition of Thriller. I'll be sure to take plenty of photos and post them here. I'm Wonder Woman and he's a SWAT team member.

Does anyone else have plans for the weekend?

Love,

Michal

p.s. Here are some photos of a recent UM vs. FIU game.
