Night out

J. and I went out to another gala last night. That's two in one year which makes us sound as though we make a habit of going to galas. I don't think we do. This one was to support the foundation which provides scholarships to students as the college where J. works. So it was kind of a work-thing, but we were given the tickets so that's nice. We had a nice time. We sat with friends, the food was pretty good, there were free drink tickets, and the desserts were yummy. The only thing we ended up spending money on was the one raffle tickets we purchased with the hope of winning the prize money. (The prize money would have turned into an 8-shaft loom. Oh well. We're actually considering buying a Powerball ticket. We can win that, right?) We even had our photo taken. Though we never figured out how to get a copy of the photo so I have no picture to share with you. We even tried to bid on something in the silent auction. One of the offerings was a side of pork. Ours is very nearly gone and I was realizing that I needed to do something about that. So, bidding on something I was going to buy anyway seemed like a win-win situation. Except we didn't win as one minute before the bidding closed and J. walked away, someone else sneaked in and topped our bid. Drat! It was possibly the least expensive night out that we've had in a long time.
