I have decided to have Coconut Friday early, since tomorrow is a Superintendent's Day, thus making today "Pseudo Friday."

We actually just got back from a wonderful dinner out with my mom and dad at the Old Erie Restaurant in Weedsport. They have a German Oktoberfest menu each October, and if you live anywhere near by you really ought to check it out. Well, we dined with my parents, and after dinner, they TOOK THE KIDS AWAY and drove 'em off to Lansing! WooHoo! Party time at the Howell's! Truly, though, it is not that big a deal, I mean tomorrow is still work, but you know what? It is SUPER quiet here right now, and that is quite a treat.

We'll meet them back down in Lansing tomorrow night - might even eek a date night out of it first - and then it is family festivity all weekend with Terry, Quinn and Asa's baby shower, but the quiet is still very much appreciated tonight.

We had a nice drive down to Weedsport too, actually, with the iPod playing and the sun low over the corn fields. We had to stop for gas, so we did so at the corner station in Cato. It has been updated a bit, but back when we used to drive through there a ton, when we attended college and then lived in Oswego and Rt 34 was the way to go if we were to visit family, we made SUCH fun of the place! It used to have this sign that said "Cato Major Brand Gas!" It just was so funny to us, like generic gas...so dollar store, and NOT a name you know. Well, stopping today, for the first time ever, I found out they are a FULL SERVICE STATION and this nice boy came out and pumped my gas for me! I love that! Boy, you find out something new every day. Something new to be thankful for!

Today's count...fun at a gas station, excellent dinner, no kids! Yep, it is Coconut Friday a day early for sure!
