The aroma of cotton candy and popcorn mixed with the saltiness of the ocean air. As we walked my wife became fascinated by a man painting. He was painting on mirrors‚ just not with brushes or cans.

My mom has always taught me and my brother the concept of things I want versus things I need‚ and I have always admired how hard my mother works to provide for me and my brother with love and support for our lives.

My college decision could possibly be a decision

That’s still debatable. That night was the soloist’s Carnegie Hall Debut‚ and I was completely in awe of her. I didn’t know
