I have WRITTEN about this place before.
The power of Facebook brought the 5 of us together Saturday. I am "Friends" with Desoto Pharmacy and Soda Shoppe and all summer, in the midst of the heat, they keep showing off incredible ice creams. Well the final straw came about a month before my son's birthday and the three of us decided to make the trek down to Desoto and get an ice cream sundae.
As soon as we decided to go for his birthday, we send a Facebook message to the man who taught my son how to fly, back in 2008. The two of them had not seen each other since the time when my son decided not to finish getting his pilot's license. It has been 6 years, since that long ago time.
Well, his teacher goes to Jerry's Soda Shoppe at least 3 or 4 times a year and so we felt it was perfect, to meet at the counter and share a sundae. We set up the date and time and the meet up was scheduled for the day after his birthday...November 1st.
We had a wonderful time, catching up and letting his old teacher talk about a whole range of subjects. He and I have much in common (he went to Ithaca, which is south of Oswego) so when he got his first jobs after school, some of them were in Syracuse. Thus, many friends of mine, worked with him over the years. My son, being on sort of equal footing now days, could talk of his being Project Manager on EcoCar3 and his plans for the next 4 years.
It was a nice time talking to him and his husband. I hope we did not bore him too much, though I am sure the ice cream helped. :-)
