[Mccoypottery-talk] antique places and McCoy

[flury]

We went to Grove OK two years ago...we have a friend from
Louisiana that now lives there...they have a resort on the Lake.
We hope to make it there this year again but unsure.
I've been to several shops in Grove and in other small towns
surrounding it...had a blast that year and got a lot of neat
bargains.
