family

Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.

Dear Diary, I want to tell you about February 2022.

The Voucher Program
Tennessee's Education Savings Account program was introduced to the legislature in 2023 with a specific image attached to it.

Expect today's high to rise to 33 degrees Fahrenheit with a slight breeze. A slight breeze, my ahs. The flags in the front circle are flapping in a stiff wind in today's breeze. It's great for anyone walking from the north side of the hill to the south, but the return trip makes the eyes water and the nose hairs freeze.
