What a beautiful day in Kansas City! I spent time in the yard most of the day getting it ready for winter. Had a couple of trees that needed to be pruned back and with day-light savings time kicking in, the weekends are the only time I will be able to mow the lawn (I hate it when I come home in the dark from work - I feel like my day is finished at 5:30)!
The highlight of my day was taking Shallen out to learn to drive my truck - standard transmission. This was one of the first vehicles my dad made me learn to drive. He always said, "If you can drive a manual, you can drive anything!" With Shallen's car sitting in the driveway (it's a long story involving a wreck and listening to an iPod - needless to say, it will never happen again), this is a necessity!
She did an excellent job! She only killed the truck three times - she picked it right up! She was very proud of herself. This will allow her to get back and forth to work to make the money to get her car fixed. I hope she's as focused on getting that done as she was on learning to drive my truck. She'll be fine - she's still a kid and trying to get her independence faster than Stephanie or I want her to!
Hope your day was everything you wanted...I know mine was pretty darn good!
