Life's adventures aren't over yet.

Yesterday I went to lunch with my daughter-in-law and two granddaughters. We went in my daughter-in-law's car and ate at Friends (love that lemon soup). Nothing particularly unusual or adventuresome in any of that until you know that it was my 15 year old granddaughter who was driving the car. She got her beginner's permit last week. Wow, I'm not sure I'm ready for this. Thankfully I'm not the one who has to ride with her regularly while she completes her 50 hours of required practice driving.  She actually did quite well yesterday.  It was her first time driving through downtown and she handled the lane changes and turns safely. This week she's taking her driver's training class for two hours each evening for six evenings so that will give her more practice, including some driving in the dark.  I've been having flashbacks today, remembering some of the adventures and misadventures of my childr3en's and my own first years of driving. I'm sure my granddaughter will do every bit as well, idaeally with fewer dents and bumps than we experienced. You go girl!!
