                             I AM IN A BIT OF A DILEMMA
Blog spot is changing my free price to a monthly fee for photo storage.My interest has always been to tell a story with photos. I have checked some other blog providers but it appears they are all headed toward a monthly fee.
I have a decision to make between photos for a fee, becoming strictly a writer, or simply retiring from blogging.
I will keep you posted as I make a decision.

Cypress trees.

This year the theme of the family reunion was the celebration of what would have been the W.W.McCoy 100Th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. McCoy had twelve children and two are still living. The program was that one member of each of ten children would speak about their McCoy parent. One of the twelve died as an infant and another the grandson was there but his father and grandfather had died before he really had memories.

Peggy the oldest grandchild speaks about her mother
the oldest child of W. W. McCoy.

Nancy speaks about her dad the second oldest of twelve.



Norma speaks about her mother the third oldest child of W W. McCoy.

Patsy speaking about her father who was the fourth born of the McCoy's.

I featured the four cousins as they have been getting together for twenty five years are more on an annual basis for anywhere from three to seven days.

Grace the oldest living child of Mr. and Mrs. McCoy.
Grace has joined the annual visits of the cousins two years ago speaking about her parents.

Betty the youngest living child of the McCoy family. Betty has always been invited to the
cousins reunion as her and the four cousins sorta grew up together.



A picture colleague of the McCoy generations that sent in their family pictures.

It was estimated that there would be 241 pictures if each family member sent there pictures.

                                                                        
                                             HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSEY!!!!!!!
Believe it or not I still remember my 21st birthday and the day you were born. The evening of 9/19/1991 was a lot more special for me than 4/7/1959.
In my opinion the 21st birthday is a real special measuring point in this journey of life.
Grandma and I hope you have a great day and we simply
LOVE YOU!!!
Grandma and Grandpa
