We are going to a surprise birthday party tonight. This is for a guy we built a house for about 10 years ago. Dh just finished turning their large outside deck into a large sunroom, addding on about 450 square feet.
This guy is a model railroad hobbiest and has a huge layout of model railroads in his basement. His is the 2nd largest layout in the state of Georgia. (Strangely, the largest is also in this town, Blairsville, Ga.)
I have a neat birthday gift for him. It is a bond issued by the Blue Ridge railroad company in 1869. It is a thousand dollar bond paying interest at 7%.
It is a coupon bond. It is very nicely framed. I have had it for about 30 years, but I think he will enjoy it more than I. Dh has it very nicely gift wrapped and ready to go.
I am playing bridge all afternoon, so today will be a no spend day and also a no use gas day. In honor of that, I will add $2 to the challenge.
Prev. total $17,434.00
today 2.00
new total $17,436.00
Neat present!
