Submit a memory of Joey

We are going to have a proper website

With the urging of the readers of this blog we will be building a website that will contain various things Joey. You will not be disappointed and it should be up by years end or the first part of next year. Please feel free to post about content that you would like to see or ideas for features that would be available on the site. I would say the name of the site, but we haven't purchased the domain yet and I would hate for an internet pirate to steal it and hold it ransom. Thank you all for the love and support you have shown in your heartfelt words. Keep the submissions coming.

I have an idea for the website
