I wonder how big the smiles on the faces of the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be if they could see what Friday was like for most Americans. In 1776 when that group of 56 men put their autograph on that famous document they were just 13 colonies scattered across the Eastern seaboard.… Continue reading Celebrating Our Freedom

Like Mother’s Day last month, Father’s Day is also a day that can evoke so many different emotions. Some folks have their fathers still with them, while many do not.
