• Propane tanks are constructed of heavy steel and are specially painted with a mastic coating to prevent corrosion. Environmentally friendly, a propane tank will typically last for 30 to 40 years. • Single-family homes can be fueled by tanks of varying sizes, depending on demand. Smaller 100-gallon tanks provide energy for appliances, while 1,000+ gallon tanks can fuel very large homes with additional energy demands, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, and patio lighting. Generally, 500-gallon tanks easily accommodate an average four-bedroom home. • Once installed, underground tanks are scarcely noticeable except for filling connections and valves which are housed in a small dome protruding just inches above the ground. Standard landscaping is often done around the dome and over the spot where the tank is buried. • Can be installed FREE of charge. Certain restrictions apply.

Bridging the distance on Mother’s Day
Many modern families are spread out across the country if not the globe. Some people move away from family to further their careers, while others are called upon to care for others. Children may separate from their parents to witness new travel experiences. Military service may call individuals away from home as well.
Distance can make it challenging to spend time together for major holidays and other special occasions — like Mother’s Day. But Mother’s Day can still be special even if Mom lives hundreds or thousands of miles away. Embrace technology Technology helps break down some of the barriers created by distance. While phone calls were once the way to keep in touch, many people now utilize various forms of digital communication. Someone who lives across different
time zones can talk through texting or the various social media avenues available on computers, phones and tablets. Video apps like Skype and FaceTime enable you to video chat with others in real time. Come Mother’s Day, connect with mom via such apps so you can watch her open up her gifts. Reconnect with home If Mom is the one who ventured from home, help her to reconnect with her hometown or another place she feels attached to. Ship her some favorite regional foods that can only be bought in town. Make a photo or video montage of places of interest in town. These little touches of home can mean the world to her. Create a special day Even if you do not live near your mother, you can still plan a fun

The dream is to turn this into my career later on down the road, but making art for the rest of my life is near impossible without a little background in business. This is my second year in Marketing with Mrs. Hoenig, and I have fallen in love with the class - it has truly given me some insight into entrepreneurship and how the world works. The class has even inspired me to start an Etsy shop: designing my own shirts, note cards, and even wire I tend to fancy the fine wrapped jewelry. I also do arts - being someone who not mind seeing my own Hello! My name is Kaylah Brace and I am currently counting down the days until I graduate from Bartlett High School. Thankfully, over the four years I have attended this school, addition comes pretty easy to me - trigonometry, not so much. If school taught me anything though, a few things come to mind: procrastination, copy and pasting, and rearranging words to fit a criteria like no other. Of course I joke when I say this!

OK this is the deal....I come home with you and be your friend. You give me plenty of treats and pets. I will be great company for you and look handsome for you to admire. You look after me and keep me safe and well. I'm around 7 years old as far as I can tell so I'm not a mad kitten. You are a loving human with plenty of sunny spots in your house. How's about that for an offer you can't refuse?! I really need my kind person to turn up now because I've been here a while and I'm ready to move on. I'm such a friendly boy but I'm getting cranky being here. I NEED YOU. Love, Fluffy The CCC is in need of volunteers for both morning and afternoon shifts, 7 days a week.
