Oklahoma City

I stepped back in time today by visiting my childhood home in Oklahoma City.  My family lived here from 1970-73.  It is amazing how much I forgot about the area!  I could have never found the house without a GPS!  The first picture shows the infamous street light-the one we had to be under by the time it was illuminated each night!

Our second stop today was the Memorial to those who perished in the April 19, 1995 bombing of the federal center.  We can all remeber where we were at 9:02am when the bombing occured.The 19 children would now be getting driver's licenses, graduating from high school, and buying their first legal drink.  The victims were robbed of one of the best times of their lives-retirement.  They will not walk their daughters/sons done the aisle, see them graduate, watch a spectacular sunset while enjoying a cabernet, wait for the dogwoods to bloom, or see their grandkids grow up.  All of this devestation was caused  by one bad seed.  Viewing this site was quite emotional, but I think my best tribute to these people is letting the pictures speak. 

And the most telling of all
