3rd times a charm....

Crispy is 16 and old enough to get a drivers license.

This is easier said than done.....

It only took three different cities on three different days to get it done.

Attempt one found us in Mason City. Crispy had a eye doctor appointment, so he wanted to test for his license.

....unfortunately he ran over the curb right out of the gate (among other things) and didn't get a license.
I was able to console myself by continuing to shop in the fabric store....as luck would have it, they are right next to each other.

Attempt two found us in Algona.
...we arrived in the afternoon....and there were two others in line for testing.

.....unfortunately they wouldn't have time for his drive test. He was crushed.
I said let's go to the fabric store as long as were here....it seemed like the right thing to do.

Attempt three found us in Forest City. We even had an appointment...it would happen....no matter what!

Crispy came walking in behind the tester and gave me the thumbs up....I wish I a picture of how happy he was at that moment.....he had passed the test....he would get his license!!!!

...unfortunately the state computers had gone down and it might be a bit before they were back up and running.
Was there something we could go do and then come back???

...hey, let's walk down to the quilt shop!!!! Crispy was in such a good mood that he didn't even protest.

45 minutes later we were back......the computers were up and Crispy was getting his license.

Now he can drop me off at school....and he continues on to the high school.

He kept saying God didn't want him to have a license.....maybe.....or maybe God just thought it would be nice for me to go to 3 different fabric stores in about a weeks time!!!
