Family Table Discussion. :
Grab a seat at my table and join our family discussion. We are talking about school that start Wed here in Louisiana. With kids wearing mask and trying to follow godliness-since our state is in trouble. My son is going back to college but is required to test before entering the dorms and mandated mask wearing on campus. Class at this time will be hybrid- part on line and in person to keep students safe. The campus will require vaccination once FDA approved to keep everyone safe. I am looking forward to see what football season will look like as well as campus activates. Lisa
