If you celebrate Father's Day, I hope you have a wonderful time with the Fathers/Uncles/Grandpas in your lives. My husband wants to do a backyard BBQ for the day so we'll be doing that and giving him a hammock (with a stand) for the backyard. I'll be hanging out in my pool and I think at least 2 of the three kids will be working.
This past week I returned to the DMV with Youngest Child to make attempt number two at passing the road test. This time we arrived over an hour before the office opened. This time instead of there being about 200 people ahead of us in line, there were about 100. We were in line outside for four hours after they opened before it was our turn to enter the building. Then there was a hold on-road tests for about 45 minutes. So more waiting, but at least at that point we were waiting inside in air conditioning. Then we had to wait in the car in line with about 20 other cars for her turn to finally get that second chance at the test.
Would you believe me if I told you, of all the driver examiners at the local DMV, of which there were over 10, she got the same examiner that flunked her the week before? Well, that's what happened! Talk about stress. We recognized the examiner, but I don't think she recognized Youngest Child.
Thank goodness, Youngest Child passed the test! She is now a licensed driver! For what it's worth, and I think it is worth something; she has a great story to tell about her trials and tribulations on the road to a driver's license. Maybe not as heartbreaking as Olivia Rodrigo's song, but still quite emotional!
And a book about my favorite beverage (Fresh Brewed Coffee)
And a new Cozy that takes place in Sedona!

yes it seems to be more difficult these days for kids to do drivers testing. I did mine the day of my birthday because we lived in a very small town so you had to drive to get to anything (in another town). I also took piano lessons and college classes 40 miles away so my parents were on board with me driving. My daughter took her time though and doesn't drive very often.

Congrats on the driving test! And how stressful. We went through a similar experience- it wasn't exactly fun but daughter persevered ha ha.
Have a super new week!
Congrats to your youngest passing the driving test!
Your books all sound and look so good. Enjoy them and have a great week!
Congrats on your daughter passing the driving test. That's awesome!
Have a great week and happy reading.
Congrats on passing the driving test for your youngest! That's exciting! My sister moved to Scotland and has decided to get a license over there. She failed her driving test, and she's in her 30s! But it sounded like they were very picky about a few things. What really stinks is that the first open appointment to retake isn't until August. So she's watching for cancellations. I still need to read Beach Read. Maybe this summer? Have a great week!
