My Day-To-Day Photos

Damn! So close! Kaitlynn very nearly had that licence in hand on September 18th, but just a couple of silly mistakes due to nerves, no doubt, held her back. But she's getting so close, that she is getting very serious about organizing her own car. She would really like, for the time being, to run around in Auntie Annette's old Sable.  It has just been sitting at the farm, left to the mice, and so the plan is to get it cleaned up, and use it as our old beater. Well, mostly her old beater for now. Eventually, we hope she'll take the more reliable Cruze and the old one will pass down to Todd as the farm car. Wallace St. is gorgeous with all it's overhanging trees. Waiting so very nervously for the fourth road test.

She got her learners just a little while ago, but today is the milestone moment for Kaitlynn. She's driving us to Yorkton for ice cream! This is her first time really trying out highway driving and as I sit in the back seat with Jared, I'm feeling confident in my daughter as she adds yet another life skill to her to her ever growing list.  This is not an awesome photo, I know.  It's like I said, I was in the backseat and I didn't want to distract her.

Despite the crazy weather, we had some fun around here yesterday and today.  In the afternoon, Kaitlynn drove herself to Olsen's for a night-over.  The road was rough, but after figuring out how not to over-steer, it was a smooth ride.       Jared, Todd and I took a drive in the evening, moved trucks for Uncle Glen, and moved a couple of trees off the back roads.  Like I said, the weather has been crazy, especially the wind.       There was a lovely sunset as we started out on our drive.       For the first time ever, I made rhubarb muffins. It won't be the last.  So very yummy. And pretty to look at too. Although, if you look at them too long, you'll end up eating another one.
