Tonight I got to spend some time out with a friend. It wasn't anything big, but it was nice to get out and spend time with someone with whom I've never shared a last name. Stacey and I went out and basically just enjoyed some time away from kids and husbands together.

We drove down to Main Street. We parked in the big parking lot that is actually on Riverside Drive and then walked up to Main Street. It was a nice evening. It was warm but not too hot. We walked south as far as the sidewalk would let us and then walked back. I need to walk more.

We stopped at an ice cream shop. This place we'd been reminiscing about during our walk. It used to be called "The Fudge Shop" and not only had fudge and candy, but miniatures and dollhouse stuff in it. Now, it's just ice cream, fudge and candy. The back part of the store that used to have the dollhouse stuff is closed off now.

We got two scoops of ice cream each. It is REAL ice cream, not the frozen milk or custard stuff that so many places sell anymore. I got black raspberry truffle. It was so good. Stacey got strawberry cheesecake.

I really enjoyed the couple hours we spent together. It's nice to have friends to spend time with every once in a while. Stacey is a great person, too.
