Yesterday the kids went off to school and David was preparing to leave for the day. I didn't have to make dinner for the harvest crew, so I was seriously tempted to go to Aberdeen. However, I told myself it would be more responsible to stay home and catch up on things around here that had gotten out of hand.
A few minutes later, I flipped the calendar to November and saw--oops!--I had an eye appointment at 9:15 a.m.! I had scheduled it so many weeks ago--and didn't check my voice mail if I had a reminder call. (Side note--if you need to tell me something urgent, don't leave a voice mail.) So, I got my day in Aberdeen after all, and now had a reason to go besides just getting off the farm for a few hours. I arrived there in time for my eye appointment, got some other errands done, visited my grandparents, found spectacular deals on bread and milk at Kessler's, and then headed home.
I was about 10 miles south of Aberdeen when I remembered that my car's oil life was at 0% and my tires were a bit low. I could still return to Pit Crew Row and get back home in time, so rather than schedule another trip on another day, it was back to Aberdeen AGAIN.
While I was waiting for the oil change, I read the Aberdeen Magazine, like I usually do when I'm there. There are always fun articles about local people, and since Aberdeen is a small city, I usually know at least someone in an issue. (As a side note--I was one of four people waiting there. The three others were men probably 10 or more years older than me. They all started at their phones the entire time. So don't tell me my generation and younger are the only ones who stare at our phones!) :) Anyway, I found a wonderful article on Lu Griess and Lu's Pizza in Aberdeen. Nearly every trip to Aberdeen as a child included a visit to Lu's Pizza. I still remember how wonderful the restaurant smelled, how delicious and one-of-a-kind the pizza was, and even getting to play the Pac Man video game in the front. If you're interested, I've included the link below. :)
And now. . . to get to that stuff I didn't do yesterday!
