Exciting News at the Preski's

Hello Family,

We also have exciting news here at Thanksgiving time. Adam has proposed to Jamie, and she has accepted. They are both very excited about the up-coming nuptials. No date has been set yet, but probably in the Fall.

Thank you for Kendall's address, Carole. Bill Basl has also jotted it down, and a package will be sent to Kendall from him soon.

Love to all,
Jeanne

PS. Hey Will, how do I get a little silhouette with my name? I have been posting information, but I don't know how to become a follower. Help Please!!

Greetings from Medford, NJ!
Just a bunch of turkeys celebrating Thanksgiving!

A Very Happy Thanksgiving

Hello there everyone! Does anyone else find it strange that no one with the last name Seli seems to keep up with this blog? Oh, well, glad the rest of us are using it to keep in touch!!

We had some very exciting news just in time for Thanksgiving...we are expecting a baby in July. Bob and Eileen are going to be great-grandparents! Cheri is very excited to be a grandma, Rob is taking it in his usual understated way! Things are going well, and the cracker industry should be making record profits this year since that is about all Carole can handle these days.

Hope you all have (had) a fantastic Thanksgiving as well and were blessed to be with family and friends.
~Carole & Brandon

Thanksgiving

Julie, Doug, Luke and Logan came up for Thanksgiving on Tuesday, and Christine and Dave came on Wednesday. Funny thing is, Fluffy and Jim are coming for Thanksgiving on Friday. Everyone but me and Sam knew that Olivia and Mark were coming, and they did! Surprise! Well, happy Thanksgiving!

Kendall Seli

Hello everyone! I just posted a comment for Jeanne's request for Kendall's address and then thought perhaps others would like to know it as well. So, here it is:

Kendall Seli
Charlie Co. 1-508 PIR

FOB Sweeny
APO AE 09383

Just be sure not to include his rank, just Kendall Seli.

I chatted with him on Saturday and he sounds like Kendall. Looking forward to coming home, but doing well. He said that the weather has been 60's and 70's, freezing at night, but winter is coming. The only thing I've gotten him to concede that he would like to get are DVD's but your guess is as good as mine for which ones he might want! I'm sure any snacks or goodies are great, and he spends lots of time with kids, so small toys and so on are great.

love, Carole

Jeanne and RJ Preski are finally able to "blog"!

Hello Family,
We enjoyed being with all the various family's at Laura's funeral, even though this was a very sad time. I t just makes me realize even more how very special you are to me.
Please make a note in your Seli Family Directory that RJ and I no longer have a land line. We are strictly using our cell phone numbers. Our children hope we remember to have our phones charged and turned "on"! Jeanne cell: 540-476-0129; RJ cell: 540-258-8719.

Shout out to Rob and Cheri Seli...please post Kendall's address so that I can send him care packages. I meant to ask you for that in CT.

I love you all...Jeanne Preski

Spread the word...

We've gotten quite a few emails kicked back as undeliverable using the addresses on the reunion directory. Please pass the word about the blog to the people you keep up with regularly!

Sharon Preski

Just moved back in with the parents (RJ and Jeanne). Starting work at Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg, VA on Monday. I will be working in the laboratory as a Medical Technologist. I guess I have to be an adult now. Bummer.

Weekend

My Mom's birthday is November 7, so we're celebrating by going to Washington D.C. Since we have off on Thursday and Friday, we will leave Friday morning. We'll be staying in an Embassy Suites. I can't wait to go!

Carole (Seli) and Brandon Scheer

Yeah! We love blogspot and have been using it to keep up with friends and family for some time now. We'll do occasional posts here, but check out our blog, too! http://scheerexcitement.blogspot.com

Carole (daughter of Rob, Jr. and Cheri) and Brandon now live in Vancouver, WA, where they are in the process of buying their first house! Their big excitement this year was a long-belated honeymoon to England and Ireland. This picture was taken in the Ring of Kerry on the West coast of Ireland.

The Pinders, the Donnellys and Paul McIver got together at the Preski's for an east coast cousins' reunion. RJ turned the house into The castle of the Wicked Witch of the West (played by Sam Donnelly). The obnoxious tree is Will Donnelly, Margaret Pinder is Dorothy, Cate Donnelly is Glinda the good witch, Alex Pinder is the tin man, Matthew Pinder is the scarecrow and Thomas Pinder is the cowardly (not so much) lion. Jack Donnelly bucked the system and went as Jango Fett from Star Wars. And refused to be photographed. Hope you all had a happy Halloween.
Love, Beth Donnelly

Welcome Selis!

We're making a first attempt at a Seli blog. The idea is to have it open to all Seli's to post events, pictures, and messages. We thought it would be great to keep up with how all of the Seli's are doing. I have volunteered to be blog-master. If this format does not work, we'll try something else. I will send an email to all the Selis using the last family reunion directory. It will have the password for you to sign in to the blog so you can post. Can't wait to see if this works, so start posting...
