Hola!
It's been way too long, and so I need to post. We are ALIVE! (Ok, there's no real reason we shouldn't be. It just sounded dramatic so I started that way.) I thought you could read some details from the Days of Our Lives...
David is down to his last 3 Driver's Ed classes coming up next week. Did I mention before that Driver's Ed is REQUIRED here in Massachusetts, for all wannabe drivers under the age of 18? Yes, REQUIRED. And it's also REQUIRED that the parents take a 2-hour class!
As a matter of fact, it is stricter here all the way around. These kids can get a permit at age 16. (After the required 30 hours of Drivers Ed classes) Then they have to drive with the teacher for 6 hours, and also 6 hours as an observer. (They sit in the backseat while another student drives with the teacher.)
(Here is the driver's ed car the teenagers get to practice driving...)
Bwaa-haaa! Just kidding.
The earliest they can get a license is at SIXTEEN AND A HALF. For 6 months they can only drive family members around. At age 17, they can take non-family members places.
These are actually not bad rules. I'm just saying they are stricter here than in many other states.
In other news, we've had rain-rain-rain!
In other news besides that, I had my eyes examined and fitted for contact lenses. I think I bruised my eyeball, trying to get them in and out this morning at the clinic. But it was really cool for a little while, to see as clearly as I can see with my glasses, withOUT my glasses!
They assure me I will get the hang of it. I'll keep trying.
Have a fabulous weekend! Kari
