Weekend Roundup -- 15-18 (for letter "O")

The 15th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year... 
The week's prompts:
Starts with "O";  A Favorite; and One
 

(1.a) Starts with "O": "Open" Starts with "O".  Lets get off the phone and "Open" those presents.  KP was having her Eighth Family Birthday Party here.   
(1.b) Starts with "O": "Octane" Starts with "O".  We are lucky, our cars run on the lowest here, 87 Octane. 

It has been going up in price since I took this.  Today it went up from $2.39 to $2.45 per gallon at most stations. 
 
(2) A Favorite: I took this picture at an "outdoor" restaurant.  It is of three generations, Mrs. Jim, KP, and Karen.

 
 
(3) One: Sort of speaks for itself.  Sign says.  This was taken in the fruit section of our favorite Kroger grocery store.  Remember it is my picture, no fair taking without my permission.
 
(4.a) Lagniappe:  Now that's ONE Black Cat.  Spoiled too. 
 
(4.b) Lagniappe: The end, that's all for tonight.  When was the last caboose removed from the rails and replaced with a little black box?
 

The caboose was no longer seen on the tracks at the turn of the century, by year 2000. Highlight the section after tracks and before this sentence to see the answer.  Click here to read about the demise of the RR Caboose.

...Jim, you sure have a boatload of 'O's this week! I bought 87 Octane yesterday at Costco for $2.549. 'P'ick me I'm Single is great. I've always enjoyed seeing a caboose coming down the track. You nay enjoy these posts.

Enjoy your weekend!
 
In TX, the gasoline is still $0.29 lower per gallon in CT - we have higher taxes on gas here :( Our cat is equally spoiled...we have to shoo Linus off the counter several times a day:) This is three generations of lovely ladies!
 
I like your O selections. Those are 3 beautiful ladies. I miss a nice red caboose. I grew up on a farm in Illinois across the road from the railroad tracks. The engineer always blew the whistle and waved to my brother and me. We would watch until the caboose came and the man in the caboose would wave, too. Fond memories.
 
Nice pictures this week, Jim. My favorite is the one of the three generations/three girls at the outdoor restaurant. Beautiful photo :) Hope you have a wonderful week.

Thanks for your visit Jim. To answer your question, my parents live in Halifax, so it's not too far for them to come and visit me - just a couple of hours drive. Our gas is currently about $1.19 per litre, multiplied by 4 to get your gallon, so $4.76 per gallon. I think yours is a bargain! What a lovely picture of the ladies in your life.
 
Looks like an interesting weekend!
