There is a new driver on the road - Saturday, 2-7-09

Hanna came home from school Friday and told us she and another student had a Driver's Education class from 9 to 11 Saturday morning, during which SHE WOULD BE DRIVING A CAR ON THE STREET for the first time.    During dinner she said something to the effect of, " I can not believe that tomorrow I shall actually be driving a car."

When Hanna got home a little after 11 AM today (Saturday) she was really excited.    She drove for about 45 minutes to an hour, driving back roads from Scappoose High School to St. Helens (8 miles away) and then back to Scappoose on Highway 30.    Back in Scappoose, the other student drove around for her half of the session.    DeeDee and I were watching TV while Hanna was off driving and since we didn't see any traffic alerts come across the TV screen, we were pretty sure everything was going OK.  

The only car Hanna is allowed to drive while she is here as a Foreign Exchange Student is a Driver's Ed car during an authorized Driver's Ed class through school.  So if I let her have some lessons on the side, shhhhhhh, I can't tell any of you about it, which means there would not be any photos of her driving my Camry either, cause how could there be pictures of something that never happened?
