It was a busy day today. I am making another loan to a couple that we built a house for, about 10 years ago. We have become very close friends as we do with most of the couples we build for,
They want to buy a small cabin and I am loaning them the money at 4% interest.
When I went to get the cashier's check this morning, the bank's computers were all down and I could not get the check.
The couple panicked because the closing was today and the sellers had come all the way from Florida for it.
Finally, about noon, I got the call from the bank that the bank could now get me the check. We met our friends at the bank and gave them the check.
Then we did a little christmas shopping. My dh and I only buy for each other. We really have no extended family and I give my granddaughters each a check at christmas time.
We hit Wal Marts and Home depot so dh could give me some ideas of what he wanted.
Then we did our grocery shopping at 2 different food stores. Dh put the christmas tree up and we put some presents under the tree.
I love it that I bought many gift bags from QVC several years ago. We re use them and the tissue paper over and over and it makes putting presents under the tree a very easy job. Plus I think it saves money. I paid about $25 for the assortment of gift bags and tissue and have used it 3 or 4 times.
I finally had a no use gas day ($2), got $1 in the mail and my friends gave me a check for $62 for 6days interest. That is $65 to add to the $20 challenge.
Prev. total $15,821.00
today 65.00
new total $15,886.00
Busy day!
