Summer Project and Emotional Afternoon

The sprucing up around the house has begun!  Old gutters were removed today, bad wood pulled down and replaced, crappy dilapidated screen enclosure torn out...fresh paint, nice new gutters and a big, open back patio are hopefully only a day or two away!

Of course, nothing in my life happens without drama. The contractors somehow managed to trigger the security system, which led to a scary phone call and me zooming home after lunch to make sure no one was breaking in to the house. Luckily it was a false alarm and everything is back to normal.

When I got back to work, things were very quiet. I started sorting through some old emails and came across one that my Dad had sent me back in summer of 2008. It was very emotional for me to read it. Luckily I was able to close my door and regain my composure.  Miss you Dad!
