Hey all! Thought I would let you know that I got some work done on the "Introductions" section of the website. Posted a few pics of our family there (scary) from last Christmas. Will work on more later.

Hey Phil, just checked em out and the pictures are great! I love being able to put a face to a name. Makes everyone seem so much more "real"! When Patty first started the countryside friends picture page more than a year ago, it was neat to see what people looked like and their homesteads. I had so much trouble with my scanner and the pictures came out blurry on the site (which was probably a good thing!), that I haven't even attemted to do anymore. Maybe one of these days.......

Thanks, Melissa, for sticking the URL in there ... I was pretty brain- dead when I posted, so I forgot to do it.

Marci, hope you found it okay!

Annie, I'm like you ... enjoy seeing who I'm "talking" to :8). If you have pictures you would like scanned and added, we'd be glad to do the scanning and adding!

Don't know how many folks would want to send their pics in the mail for that, but the offer is there just the same. We've been blessed with a good scanner and a digital camera ad I've been blessed with a wife who knows how to use them -grin-! Anyone who's interested can email me for more info.

Have a great day!

I might do that Phil, I have a scanner, but it says "scanner not respoding" and just makes this weird noise. I hate technology, gives me a big headache!!!

God Blessed the earth when he made you two.....love to ya, Kristean

I would send you a picture if you tell me where to send it. Like you, ours are from last Christmas, and I am in my work uniform, but it's still a pretty good picture. It includes my step-daughter's brother, and my brother (the one with hair ;)) but since they are still both family, I wouldn't want to exclude them anyway. I sent our intro in, but if you have a way to include a pic, just let me know, and I'll send you one, OK? What a cool idea! P.S. I love your herbal hints! I feel so blessed to have "found" all of the people I have "met" on these boards! Thank you for all your hard work...Most sincerely...Judy

Happy to see so many folks here! I've intended to post our snail mail addy in the past and simply forgot. So, if anyone wants to get a backup CD of the forums (see previous posts) for five bucks, or if you have pics you'd like scanned and added here or to a website somewhere (or simply emailed back to you), send your stuff to the following address:

Phillip & Cheryl McCoy
PO Box 433
Osawatomie, KS 66064

Oh .. if you send pics and want them back, please send a self- addressed envelope with enough return postage and we'll get them back to you. Before you send pics, please understand that we're doing this because we like you folks :-) and can't be held responsible for loss or damage or any of that nasty stuff. So, having said all that, I will do one other thing before I wrap this up ... I would like to "plug" some stuff my DW has been working on.

If any of you have read much either here or on Countryside, you'll prolly know that my wife and I helped Kristean with her "Perfect Pork" website:

http://perfectpork.tripod.com/

and my wife put up a website for KB Web Creations (us) at:

http://klingonteddy.tripod.com/kbweb.html

So in addition to all the other, if you need any of the web-related services we offer, just let us know. Thanks! Have a great evening, everyone :8)!

Hey, Phil, just got around to visiting (been wild around here!), and saw the website also - it's great - love the picture of you and your biggest fan in the matching hats!

Just wanted to check in and let you know I think everything's looking wonderful!
