Quote “You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything. And you have certainly not lost America, for we will stand with you for as many tomorrows as it takes. If ever we needed evidence of that, I could only recall the words of Governor and Mrs. Keating: If anybody thinks that Americans are mostly mean and selfish, they ought to come to Oklahoma. If anybody thinks Americans have lost the capacity for love and caring and courage, they ought to come to Oklahoma.” President Bill Clinton at the Oklahoma Bombing Prayer Service

A few years ago, when my daughter was a junior in High School I took her and three of her friends on an extended weekend trip to Kansas City. The reason for the trip is a goal my daughter and I had set for her to visit the 48 continental states before she graduated from high school. This trip was going to allow us to check off Kansas and Oklahoma.
We spent a day in Oklahoma City shopping and stopped on the way back at Pops 66 Soda Ranch. http://www.pops66.com/
While in Oklahoma City, we visited the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. While we were visiting, based on the amazement from the kids, I realized they weren’t even aware of this pivotal moment in our history. I realized as we were touring they would have only been about a year or so old, but I was still surprised they has never heard about this event. I was very happy that we visited the museum and they learned about this event. They really took time during the museum tour and took in the displays and all the artifacts.
My husband and I are planning on driving through Oklahoma City later this spring. When I realized we were going there, my first thought was about going back to the museum. I know my husband will be completely awed by what they have put together. He is a history buff and I know the museum will haunt him after he visits.
Thanks for joining me. Be sure to check our show notes for links to inspiration items and … don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
