We had a little rain early Thursday morning and again this evening. The weather has been very mild for weeks and the rain didn't change that - still mild. Plus the rain makes everything smell so nice and fresh and we can certainly use the moisture.
Our loan officer from the CU left me a voicemail that she was completing the documents today. DH and I will sign early next week and the money will be available by next Friday.
DH has contacted several roofing contractors. Some have come to the house already, but we don't have any written estmates yet. We want to get moving on the roof ASAP.
Re: Spending.
DH's side work profits were used to get the truck's water pump replaced (finally), two new tires and a few other odds & ends replaced (wipers, filters, etc.)
$1451 in auto parts and repair
It is the start of a new 4H year.
Yearly membership dues and two pre-purchase tickets for the large fundraising dinner came to $71.
DD is in the Honor band at school this year. Band camp weekend for $135.
I bought a Groupon for the Pilates studio I used last year for $89/eight classes.
I went kayaking last weekend with a girlfriend. $55 for the all day, 11 mile trip down the river. It was beautiful and relaxing, but....
My back was so tight after kayaking that the following day I had a spasm and threw my lower back "out". Had to see a chiropractor yesterday to pop everything back in place. (Primarily the left side of my pelvis.) I haven't used a chiropractor in over 13 years, but I really needed help.
$45 and worth every penny!
Everything (including $900 to debt payoff!) was paid using side money. WooHoo! Keep it coming! 
Rain. HELOC News. Spending.

I was doing scholarship searches for my daughter and noticed there is a 4H scholarship that is related to Bee Keeping. It is an essay contest.

Interesting to hear about the scholarship. We'll be there in only a few short years - Yikes!
