July 2026 Updates

I'm excited to celebrate our 250th anniversary of America.  I love the 4th of July.  I love family time and fireworks with patriotic music playing.  It always brings a happy tear to my eye.  I wish everyone loved it as much.  Unfortunately some people spend all their time hating on everything that makes us a great country.  We have our flaws.  There will always be issues.  But there is no where else Id rather be.

February 2025 Updates

February is finally here after what feels like the longest January ever.  Now we get to experience the shortest month and an end to winter.  Hope you get to celebrate valentines day with the ones you love.   I'm feeling good for the future.  Stay positive and keep moving forward!

The end of January was heartbreaking for some of our Southern Maryland families because of the terrible tragedy in Washington D.C.. Please keep them in your thoughts.
