A Fun and Almost Free Weekend

Boy, did we have a busy (and almost free) weekend. Friday night we went to the new house. We had a kitchen cabinet fiasco this week. The cabinets came in the wrong color. We ordered a Honey Maple color and they came in Natural Maple (no stain, just polyurethane). 84 Lumber blamed my contractor, but we are the ones who met with 84 and ordered all the stuff. Our contractor just gave them the o.k. to put the order in. Anyway, our contractor and 84 made it worth our while to keep the cabinets. (which i like better anyway). Then as they were installing them they found that there were a bunch of wrong sized cabinets and and extra sink cabinet, etc. 84 is coming over Monday to sort it all out.

We did meet our new new neighbors, they bought the house to the south of us Friday. Todd, Denise and Ethan who is 23 months old. Snap! He and Cooter are gonna get in a lot of trouble together.

We had a ton of family come over to see the kitchen and we had gone over before eating. We finally left about 8 pm and got 2 Little Skeezers Hot & Readys. That was about $11.50.

Saturday morning was my work's annual golf outing. It is just 9 holes for fun and then lunch and a putting contest. We had a great time. Uppa and Gamma watched Cooter. Our foursome was Main Street, Chuckles, Me and Juju. To keep it fair for everyone we drew matchsticks that corresponded to each person. We would all hit, pull a matchstick (with a letter the corresponded to letters after our names on the scorecard) and use that person's hit. My boss tries to mix good and bad players in foursomes to keep everything level, as some players play once a year at this outing only, and some play twice a week. Lunch was very good and the putting contest was fun also. After the outing we picked up Cooter and went to Aunt Kate and Uncle Roo's house for a family picnic.

Sunday we went to the Seawolves baseball game via Aunt Alyce. It was her work picnic and all the food and drink was free (including Yuengling). Sweet! I did pay for parking $3.00 as i still had all the golf culb and stuff in the truck from the previous day and even though the street was free, i It was a good game, but the home team lost. Cooter and Uppa got on T.V. Here is the link. After the game we went back to Kate and Roo's house to see Juju's Cousin Buffy who was in town for the day from Memphis. We were also scheduled to go to an old co-workers annual corn roast, but Cooter never took a nap all day. one minute in the car on the way to the roast and he was out. So home we went and to bed cooter went and here I am blogging about the weekend. Not bad, 15 ½ bucks for 3 days and a ton of fun times.
