Flood victims urged caution upon returning home
As East Texas residents return to clean up their homes and businesses after extensive flooding earlier this month, the Texas Department of State Health Services urged residents and business owners to exercise caution. Among the recommendations: · Never use gasoline- powered generators or charcoal grills indoors. Keep them outside, at least 20 feet from homes to avoid possible carbon monoxide poisoning. Direct generator engine exhaust away from windows and doors · Never mix bleach with products that contain ammonia. Toxic fumes could be created. 05/15/2024 10:51 AM

A Mother’s Love
A Mother’s Love
Years ago there was a very loving family that lived in a two-story house. The main public rooms were located on the bottom floor, the living room, the kitchen, the dining room and den, but the more private family rooms were located on the second floor, which housed mainly the bedrooms. There was the master bedroom, and two other rooms for their children, and one that was dedicated to the baby daughter’s room. This precious daughter was born to that family while they were living there, and as she grew older, her parents remodeled her baby-room into her very own bedroom. 05/15/2024 10:51 AM
