Before we even left the house, we learned that Jonathan had passed his driver's test. We do have a graduated license plan here, so I don't have his road permissions all straight in my head, but I think he's able to drive around town on his own and on secondary highways as long as he has a fully licensed driver riding shotgun. Later in the process, there will be another test to pass.
The drive into Ottawa was interesting. The highway was clear on a sunny day, but once we hit the city, we had to approach intersections with caution because we could hardly see the snow-blasted traffic lights from Tuesday's big blow. Here's one picture but some lights were even more snowed than this one.
Once we arrived, the food was good, and my almost-79-year-old wife was looking pretty good too.
Was it a birthday for Sue?
ReplyDeleteAlmost.
DeleteNice! We are trying to see around snow piles on corners and intersections to pull out on highways right now. Hopefully the melt down this weekend will reduce those piles.
ReplyDeleteSnow covered traffic lights is,a new one to me, very tricky. Snow also makes blind corners, another joy of winter.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to JJ.! Sue looks great- as always!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture of your almost 79 year old bride!
ReplyDeleteThree cheers to Jonathan! I remember that feeling of passing and it's a good one!
ReplyDeleteI should be so lucky to look like that! Happy birthday to Sue and congrats to JJ.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to JJ.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteHooray for Little J! -Kate
ReplyDeleteSue is so beautiful. Well done to grandson!
ReplyDeleteI want to know Sue's beauty secret. Happy Birthday to her.
ReplyDeleteKudos to the grandkid on the test pass. Many do not manage to get that done. And hugs to beautiful Sue. Happy birth month.
ReplyDeleteSue looks great!
ReplyDeleteSue is beautiful and holds her age extremely well. I would have said she was in her 60s. We call that a drivers permit; it's a preliminary step to getting a license. Even when licensed, there are restrictions for a while: no other people in the car except family members, for example.
ReplyDeleteGood for Jonathon for passing his test.
ReplyDeleteBig congratulations to Jonathan, that’s a great milestone! Sounds like quite the drive in too, those snowy lights must have been tricky. And what a lovely line about your wife, made me smile.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is becoming livelier and more stylish
ReplyDeleteSue is a beautiful lady and you took a lovely photo of her. Happy Birthday Sue! Congratulations Jonathan, I was very interested in those rules and regulations. And I liked that photo of the traffic light.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks that you Canadians should think about installing heaters on your traffic lights to keep them clear of snow.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteWell done Jonathan! Sue does look great for a youngster!
ReplyDeleteGood for Jonathan. Aster turns 16 in May. She's good to go.
ReplyDeleteYay for Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThe traffic light, whoa. That would be tricky.
And Sue looks amazing. Just beautiful.
