Girlies, i talked to Sharon (AuxLady) from my PIR group last night. Brian is in the hospital awaiting a bone marrow transplant. it should take place within 7-10 days. please pray for Brian. for those who don't know about Brian, he's an MA and was at St. Mary's just weeks after his baby girl was born, he was diagnosed with leukemia. he is 26 yrs. old and a home town hero before he entered the Navy....his dream....he had just barely gotten started with his Navy life when this happened.

Good morning ladies!
Welcome back 3ds glad you had a good trip. If your boys are anything like mine they use to pick at each other all the time while at home together but now that they're apart you can really see how much they love each other. When we went to PIR Josh just hugged on his brother and told him how much he missed him. I cried happy tears just watching them!
Ladies, I can't imagine being put on water restrictions. I would have a hard time dealing with that. I'm usually praying for a drought come about the middle of July cause I'm so tired of mowing the grass. I know we're really lucky though around here to get plenty of moisture.
Have a great weekend all!

Happy weekend Ladies! Joshmom and mrojas - how exciting for both of you that you will be in Pensicola soon! Wish that we were heading that way too. We have been trying to get the spring clean up done out in the yards, gardens and pasture! Pruning trees, weeding, raking and mowing, Then comes planting the garden, putting in annuals, doing containers and mulching.
Sherrill- it may look like your grass is dying, but it is more than likely just gone dormant. Grass has a way of "hibernating" during dry spells. It can stay dormant for a looooong time and as long as you are able to water once a week it will keep it from dying. We actually had 6 years of water restrictions where no outdoor water usage was allowed except for vegetable gardens or agricultural (like the farm crops and livestock) and that usage was monitered! Anyone caught sneaking water for lawns or using excessive household water were fined $2500.00 per offense! But, once that we started getting moisture again the grasses greened right up!! So, fear not... your lawn will survive!! :)
Have a great weekend!

mrojas - we are going down for the Memorial Day weekend. I'm sure it will be crowded then but I wanted that extra day to spend with Josh. Since he will be able to spend the entire 3 day weekend with us I chose to get away from the base. I booked a room at the Crown Plaza downtown. I would have preferred a beachfront hotel but I'm not willing to pay that much just for a hotel room. I figured we could have a lot of fun doing things with the money I saved on the hotel by choosing downtown and we'll still be a short drive from the beach. I was very pleased with the rate I got on the hotel. I booked it and the car rental through Travelocity. Good luck with your plans.
