Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

     It was so great to see so many members of my Carey family that I haven't seen in so long.  I wish it had been under different circumstances, but it was nice to reminisce and share stories of my Nanny and Grampy with all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins. There was plenty of love and cookies to go around.  My Nanny would have been proud.
