Technology

I grew up in a somewhat cash strapped household. We had a house, one car, food, and nice hand-me -down clothes, everything else was a luxury that we enjoyed while over at a friends house. I’m positive that my mother wore the same navy blue polyester pants and white tennis shoes for my [...]

No one got burned

Last night we held our 5th annual fireworks display at the park across the street from our house.
