social life

Last night I had the best time. I went to a Creative Memories scrap booking party. A friend is in the cottage business. Once a month or more often she hosts an open house to come work on projects. She has all the supplies available for use or for sale. I do mine digitally. She is my consultant. Any products I buy on line for my digital book she receives a commission. It is worth every penny in that she can help navigate the program on my computer. There are so many things that program can do from editing pictures to wrapping text or changing colors of pages or font style.

It is a fairly easy program, but it helps if you know where to look to find what you need. That is where the consultant comes in. She takes training classes and works with the program all the time. She can show me without my getting frustrated. The more projects I do the better for her business. But best of all, we just get together and chat as a group. It is a modern day quilting bee.

In the course of the evening children came and went. Trevor hooked up with her son and some other boys to go to the opening night of Iron Man. This was after the Wizards performed at the High School. The Wizards are a globe trotter exhibition basket ball team. They competed against the district schools' staff. Trevor said it was fantastic and hysterically funny. What I liked was it was local entertainment. So did everyone else in town. The place was packed. It wasn't cheap though. The tickets were $10 each. I told Trevor if he mowed the lawn I would pay him so he could afford to go to the event. He did it in short order. The yard looked great.

The evening evolved and I found out my girlfriend's children were all going out to the movie afterwards and Trevor was welcome to go with them. I didn't consider the time though. The feature they were seeing didn't start until 10:00pm. It was 12:30 am by the time Trevor and I pulled in at home. I reminded him to be quiet as Tom and Riley would be well asleep. Trevor only crashed into the bathroom door otherwise we were quiet. We were both in such happy moods.
