Today is grandson Trent's 17th birthday. I looked thru my pictures and cannot find a picture of Trent by himself, so I'll use one with his beautiful sister Kelcie (ignore the duckface) in it. In looking at all my pictures, it's hard to find a picture of any of the grandkids by themselves, so I know what I'll be doing each time I see them this summer. Trent is a great student and athlete, and this summer he's going to be working. And of course, he's been driving for a year now.......a really good kid. Have a great day today Trent.
I was having coffee on the deck and thinking about all the kids growing up, and of course....driving. I remember I got my drivers license at 16, but I never got a car until after I was married. I went to OSU for my freshman year, and my dad drove me up to campus each day. After classes, I took the bus downtown to Lazarus where I worked 4 hours a day in the toy department. Then I took the Livingston Avenue bus out to Barnett Road and walked about 4 blocks home. Can you imagine doing that today? I don't think so. Just another example how times have changed. I haven't been on a bus for years....and can't say I miss it.
Today I'm driving over to Newark to the Ohio Valley Outdoor Store where my son works a second job. I have a Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver and the only carry I have for it is a purse with a built-in holster. With niece Jennifer having a large property now where we can all shoot, I really don't want to carry a purse out to shoot. Hope I'm not the only grandma in the gun department trying on holsters.
That's about it for the day ~ gotta get rolling; thanks for visiting.
