The surprise birthday party we went to last night was great. Everybody brought food, so the hostess did not have to do a thing and there was plenty to eat.
We all enjoyed the brand new room that dh built onto the house.
The birthday boy really did enjoy the gift I gave him; a 1869 coupon bond of the Blue Ridge railroad company, all framed. (He is big into trains) It will look good in his train room.
The hostess insisted that we all bring home our own leftovers, so we have appetizers for tonight.
Another friend called and invited us to dinner for tomorrow night.

I did my grocery shopping today and even with dh with me (can't work cause it is raining) I saved $6 with my Ingles card. I will add $1 to that cause the stock market went up yesterday, for a total of $7.

Prev. total $17,436.00
today 7.00
new total $17,443.00
