Spending Money Like it's going out of style

Monday I got a call at work from the concrete guy wanting to know if he could start that day. Well I had been sick since Wednesday (food poisoning or something) so I hadn't dismantled the stepping stones and mulch by the raised beds or cleared off the sidewalks. I told him he could but that I was at work.

They took care of clearing everything away and had hauled away the old concrete and dug most of the new forms. I was very impressed with how quickly they worked.

Then they came back this morning finished digging out the new front sidewalk and poured the cement. It was dried by time I got home from golf.

It looks so nice I love it!! I didn't get a chance to take "Before" pictures so I'll have to look and see if I have any where the walks just happened to be in it. Tomorrow I'll get some of the "After".

The cost of this project was $1,800. The steps for the front are being made (they didn't have 5' wide and 5 high in stock) and they should be around $800 delivered and set up. The reason I'm not 100% sure of the cost is because the quote was $760 but with black iron railing and I want the railing to be white so he has to paint them.


The other money that flew out was for 2 new golf clubs. I decided to get a new driver.


The one I'm using now came with my set which I've had for several years. The head is pretty small. I hit very straight but don't get much distance (I'm breaking my wrist at the wrong time-hard habit to break). I'm hoping this club will help with topping the ball too.

I'm also getting this hybrid club to replace my 3 wood.

So that was $317.98 plus I've ordered new golf outfits from Puma, LizGolf and eBay. I think I'm making up for not spending much money last year.
