Eva’s First Driving Lesson

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01873

It was school vacation week and because of that we had little to do. this morning Eva went with me to Krav class so that she could have the afternoon to herself. That is what I told her to get her to go and then we proceeded to do a few things in the afternoon like driving lessons, watching Avatar the Last Airbender and lunch at The Burgundian.

allison and Andy

Allison had suggested having lunch somewhere so we decided up on the Burgundian. They are known for their Liege waffles but they have many other things as well. We enjoyed some burgers and a NAshville hot chicken sandwich. Eva got a great steak meal, too.

When lunch was over I took Eva to the La Salette overflow parking lot to give her some time behind the wheel. this is a very large parking lot that is not used that much except for when it is Christmas time and they need it for all the people coming to see the lights. So, we could do what we needed to do without worrying to much about other cars around. I had Eva drive up and down the parking lot rows and occasionally attempt to park in a spot. We’ve got work todo but today was just about getting her comfortable with controlling the car. I think we never got above 15 miles per hour, which is fine for a parking lot. wish everyone else drove in them like that.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
