Half the Year Gone???

I can't believe it. 2010 is half over! This year has flown by.

But then it seems that each year is moving faster and faster. Three days ago I thought I was changing diapers.....and yesterday........my baby girl started Driver's Ed. Yikes! My baby boy, he is changing before my eyes. He's started that growth spurt and is that a change I detect in the voice???

Looks like most of the Gulf coast has dodged a bullet.....this time. Not very often we get a full fledged hurricane in June, but the "expert" say it is going to be a very active season so I guess no surprise. I do know that with all that oil floating around we did not need a dead hit.

Still hoping and praying that BP will get that well capped before we take a full fledged hit from a storm but it is getting harder to believe that this thing will ever be capped.

The Gulf Oil Spill

I can't tell you how much the awful situation in the Gulf of Mexico is to me. I am a lifetime resident of Houston and live less than 60 miles from the Galveston and the Gulf. I have a hard time watching the images of the animals covered with oil, the tar rolling up on the beautiful beaches and the utter destruction of the wetlands. I am heart broken for those that lost their lives the day of the blast and for the people whose very livelihood is been taken away.

I am afraid that even if that oil well were shut down today (not happening unfortunately) the impact on the people and the environment will stretch for years if not decades.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi & Florida as you battle this disaster. I also pray that we don't have a storm form in the Gulf that will make a nightmare situation even worse.
