May Day!

The first day of May greeted us with, guess what?...

Yep - MORE SNOW. I think Winter is not going to relent until Summer arrives!

But isn't the term "Mayday" some kind of distress signal also? I suppose it is just a warning, that there is now at least one more young, in-experienced driver on the road, who happens to be named,

JOSH! - It wasn't easy getting him there, but he did take and pass (doing quite well) his driving test this morning. Keri & he arrived at the DLD at the appointed time, only to discover that our van registration had expired less than one day ago! The examiner was (fortunately) very understanding, and allowed them to go get the vehicle inspection and registration done, and then return for the driving test. And the rest is, as they say, history!

So tonight we went out and practiced his stick shift driving a bit more, after which he wanted to go (all by himself) to get some ice cream. So we reviewed his "driving contract", then had him initial and sign everything - like he had a choice ;-) - and then he went on his own for a treat, with Tanner riding shotgun. He made it there & back OK, and then spent an hour just driving around the neighborhood to practice shifting.

Anyway, if you are out on the streets, don't say I didn't warn you! (Way 2 Go, Josh!) NOW if we can just figure out how to keep him HUMBLE!
