Commentary: Speaking of trash
I noticed there is a balloon release planned at the Elders’ Walk. Seeing a balloon release is a beautiful sight. However, it is harmful for our environment. Have you ever thought about where the remnants of those balloons end up? I can guarantee that the balloons do not find a trash can to put themselves into.

COMMENTARY: Ain’t nothing like grandma’s hands
“Grandma’s Hands” is a song that multiple artists have recorded their very own version of. Most of the lyrics are the same with a few insertions here and there. In Gladys Knight’s version of the song, there is a lyric that resonates with how deeply I love and appreciate my granny.
