Quarantine

Currently, the entire State of Louisiana and almost all of Texas are under what is called a Federal Fire Ant Quarantine.

That's right, as in "against the law." What is it you ask? Firewood. Taking firewood out of the eleven Texas counties listed below is illegal. Six of the counties are in East Texas and two of them under this State mandated firewood Quarantine are Bowie and Cass. What does that mean, it means if you cut it here, you burn it here.

The Texarkana Independent School District has new quarantine guidelines for students and staff that went into effect on Monday.

We are spending a lot of time at home and like most people, especially those with kids we are always looking for some creative things to do to keep them busy.

Since we are all at home and getting tired of all of the sandwiches and microwave pizza, getting food to go is what we are all doing.
