Although I was born in Texas, our family moved away when I was very young, though there have been numerous trips back to see the Carnes clan, While we were raised on the family stories, we missed out on so much by not being there.

I may be mentioning things you already know, and you probably know so much more than I do, but I thought I would just let you know you have some relatives living in Florida.

Uncle Leissner (Aunt Freda’s husband), said it all when he used to say…”Nothing looks better to a Carnes than another Carnes!” One of our cousins, Tom Carnes has done some extensive research on the family. Again, I may be telling you something you already know.

There is talk brewing about a get together in October at the Peanut Feastival in Floresville. Two of my siblings are planning on attending to visit with the Carnes clan.

If you would like to connect, just send me an email!

Your cousin,

Colleen
