DAY 43: PROUD MARY
Do you remember how exciting it was to get your driver’s license? I do!
For most people that milestone is attained around the age of 16 or so.
But my friend Mary did not go with the flow on many things – including obtaining her license. She went for most of her life on her own time schedule – and without a license to drive.
So it truly was a milestone when Mary – at age 50-something – got her first license! She was SO excited! I can’t even begin to convey to you how excited Mary was at obtaining her ticket to this newly earned freedom, but hopefully the pictures will give you an idea of the sheer jubilance of the occasion.
She came to my house immediately and was so proud of her accomplishment. She asked me to take her picture with her new “wheels” and her new license.
Of course I was thrilled to do so.
She was the epitome of precious excitement.
Now that the “new” has worn off, though…dang it Mary! I just can’t give you any more gas money! ; )
