Kids Shooting Off Fireworks

Fireworks on the lake

I’m curious how many kids these days get to shoot off fireworks themselves.

April A Month Of Remembrance

April can be a month of remembrance. A time to reflect on the moments that shape us and the memories that stay with us forever. I remember my parents telling me where they were when they heard JKF had been shot. In Oklahoma, we honor those lost in the OKC bombing, a solemn reminder of how precious life is.

The stories we carry, the laughter we share, and the simple joys of being together become the threads that weave our family’s history.
