Mother Nature certainly does have a mind of her own. I'm so glad you haven't canceled your reservations to the Gulf Coast. At a meeting tonight, a rep from BP told us that they hope to have the oil stopped by this weekend.

Lost his grandmother and almost died from a head injury resulting in numerous surgeries and loss of part of his brain. He's truly a miracle!<br /><br />I am a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan, by the way. That's the planned "theme" for our one-day little girl's nursery. :)Mama Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851555780578715423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231109811143670731.post-59467932324126078102010-05-19T20:27:50.256-05:002010-05-19T20:27:50.256-05:00Sorry to hear about the devastation.
