A cute photo from my archives.

Nathan, Alex, Mom, Dad, Amy and Michael -- one summer when Mom and Dad drove up to the cabin with the three boys.  Kyle must've been taking the photo. 
 
 
Yesterday, Dad and I (Amy) went driving up to and around West Bend in preparation for his upcoming road test on Thursday.  He has a few things to work on, but all in all, I feel that he drives pretty well.  Of course, he merges onto the freeway like your typical old fart, but I don't think that is a failable offense.  The issue of stopping at a green light when he makes a right turn is another thing.  He is now at least aware of this tendency; who knows, he may have been doing this for years.  We laughed about how this may be the age-old question of teaching an old dog new tricks!  This 2 month process of trying to retain his driver's license has mentally eased Dad into the possibility of losing his license for good.  He can take the road test up to 5 times in a year and there is also the possibility of taking a local test which would be given in and around his own community.  That would mean a "restricted" license within a designated number of miles from his home.
  In the evening, we had meatloaf at mom and dad's.  Meatloaf is a favorite of Michael's and Dad's, and Mom used to hate meatloaf.  But nowadays, she isn't quite as picky if you sit down together at their table for a  good meal.  For side dishes, we had mashed potatoes from a box and sauteed turnip greens with bacon.
