Today is an exciting day for me. This afternoon I am going to sign the papers for my home improvement loan. This is so exciting because I will be able to start the improvements that my house so desperately needs. After living there for 30 years it can definitely use a face lift.

I am getting new siding. I finally felt secure enough to call the man and tell them to go ahead and schedule the work. I don't know when the work will begin but at least I'm on the schedule. It's called Hardiplank and I think it's going to be perfect. I don't know what colors we will be painting it. That will come later. We will also be converting my garage back into a garage. We had the garage closed in for my husband's business. Now I will be able to park my car in the garage. Of course that also means that the kids and I need to get going and get the garage cleaned out. Maybe over Memorial Day????

I also get to take my box back to Time Warner and get a new one. Apparently the big storm that came through the other day took out my telephone. If it's not the box then they will have to come out and try to figure out what's going on. Keep your fingers crossed that it's the box.

Missy is going with me to sign the papers. It will be nice to have the company since I have to go downtown. I hate going downtown and this way she will drive. Thank you Missy.

I really didn't have anything else planned for this weekend but it turns out the I will be in charge of flowers this Sunday. The person scheduled could not do it Sunday so we switched. It is an honor to be able to take flowers to people who are ill and can't make it to church. It is nice to be able to help them feel a party of the church community. I only have to do it twice year so it really isn't a burden.

Guess that's all the news for now. I better get back to work since I'm taking off at noon.

More later...
