Well, night one of DD#4 driving with permit, survived, she did pretty good. I took her on a very forgiving road, very little traffic, wide shoulders that make it equal to a 4 lane road, and traffic circles at both ends of the route. She decided she was done when I had het go a little further and she missed a driveway for a turn around and had to go on the main road to make the turn into the parking lot. I had the hazards on for her so othet drivers would be cautious. I don't want to throw her into higher volume traffic til she's comfortable with being able to stay in her own lane, cuz I don't want her to panic and over correct. Fortunately, I'm a calm teacher, and have been teaching her the rules of the road for several years, including showing her why you don't turn bright lights on in fog, and what it feels like to break traction and what to do when you do. I had her walk around the car with me, showed her a landmark on the the front that will keep her in her lane, went over all the controls, showed het where all the lights were, how to take off the gas cap, etc. Tomorrow, well go through the owners manual so she gets familiar with how to use it, and go over how to change a tire, opening the hood, oil and tranny dipsticks, brake, coolant and washer fluid, where all the tie stuff is located, and checking tire pressure. I'll also show her how to connect jumper cables, and make sue we mark the page in the manual that had the order and location of connection. I'll get a piece of duck tape to put an arrow pointing to where to put neg cable for getting jumped, and see if that mark also works for jumping another vehicle. We also get to practice cleaning battery terminals, cuz they need it. She should be a pretty self sufficient vehicle owner by the time she gets her own car. The most unnerving thing is that she's learning on an 8-cylinder, so more power than I'd prefer. I might be able to get her grandpa to get her a car when he comes out this summer, or he might give her one of his. Hopefully it would be his 6 cylinder suv.

Anyhow, enough of my rambling. Coffee's hot, zucchini bread, apple turnovers and thick crepes are on the counter, toppings are on the counter, in and on top of fridge. It's kitchen chicken time. I'll try to get some video for y'all so you can enjoy having chickens around for breakfast. They are allowed to have anything that is not on the taboo list, and Lizbeth will get excited, talk and stamp her feet if she likes you. You can pick either of them up and snuggle, they will love it. Just flip them over and hold them like a baby.
 
Lol! I got the uncontrollable giggles bra shopping, Burla my sales lady kept treating me like an average nitwit shopper showing me butt floss, rhinestones, lace, fringes even one bra that tied shut...not practical. Even weirder, she was easily in her sixties so i had an adorable little meemaw trying to spice up my no no's. I finally told her i was 43 don't exercise, not fishing, just wanted a comfy bra that would stretch enough to hold a couple of chicks if needed. With this she left me be and took a smoke break. :lau
If grading that entry you'd get an A+
