Yesterday was kite day. Mark and I had found a bunch of kite kits at the Dollar Tree in Muskogee so we bought them out. Yesterday morning we sold the kites and Mark helped the kids put them together. Then yesterday afternoon they took their kites out to the big open field and flew them. Everyone who got their kite up in the air got a prize. A fun time was had by all! Continue reading

Under a lightning sky
As I write tonight, I’m watching a spectacular sky show. About every thirty seconds to a minute, the clouds light up. Maybe every five minutes or so, I actually see a jag of white lightning cross the sky in front of me.
