Our Front Yard

We landscaped our yard and here are some pictures! We got some rubber bark and put up edging around all the flower beds. We had the greenest yard in the housing circle but then it rained for a few days so now most the yards are green, but ours is the fullest of all the yards. We use solar lights to light it up at night and it looks very nice. Most people around here don't do anything with their yard but we like ours. Now that it is getting warmer (well going from the winter of 80-90 degrees to 90-100 or more degrees) the flowers on the trees are really starting to bloom!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!

GREAT NEW!!! Shawn has been promoted to a Second Class Petty Officer in the Navy. He is now a MA2. He passed him promotion test the first time he took it which is not done very often. He has only been in the Navy for two years and most people who make Second Class have been in a lot longer than that. He was one of three people in the Security Department on base who made Second and one of only 6 people who made Second Class on the whole base in all jobs! I am very proud of him. He works hard and really deserved it. The picture below is in the new Navy uniform. I like them, not so camo green. There will be a ceremony where he is frocked a Second Class Petty Officer in a few weeks and I will take and post pictures of that.

More Pictures

Hello Everyone!
Here is a picture of our frog and lizard decorations on the wall. They seem just right for Cuba. We had a huge lightning storm the other night and we got a few pictures of it in the distance. It has been raining here a lot the past few days. We have lost power twice and a few places have flooded. When it rains a lot the big frogs and land crabs come out and get in the road, it is like an obstacle course trying to get around them. The weather should be nicer for the weekend, which is good because we have a huge Memorial Day celebration going on. On Monday there are 5 different bands performing and a BBQ and Chile Cook Off. It should be a fun weekend. The pictures at the bottom are of Glass Beach. The storm was on the other side of the bay and we were watching it move in. The Beach is called Glass Beach because there is sea glass all over the beach and it the water. There are a lot of greens and browns and some blues. People make jewelry out of it and use it to decorate. It is fun to go looking for it.
