Lily Is Driving ... (with me nearby)

Just when you thought this blog was going a bit stale - whammo, more goodies show up. Yes, a lot has been going on in the Parish family.

There are some amazing school projects that Justin is working on. I am rather tardy in getting notes on those posted with some pictures. But I will, check back ...

Lauren and Ryan are for sure moving to Maine for four years. They are excited about the next big leg in their journey as a couple. I know I am, though I'll miss them for sure. Guess I'll have to look at a trip up there in the fall when the leaves are changing.

So for this morning here is a pic of Lily driving. I'm teaching her how to drive the old red truck, which is a stick shift. Justin and Lauren learned on the same truck, so it only seems fitting. The first time we gave it a go I let Lily drive around in the front yard so she could get a feel for how to use three pedals and the shifting of gears. After a few bumpy starts she quickly got the hang of slipping the clutch with just enough acceleration to get into 1st gear with not 'too' much difficulty. Each time it gets better.

How exciting for her ...

Alright, more soon on a variety of topics.

Love
Tom

Hey Lily, how great to be able to take "OLE RED" out for a spin. And that you are driving the same stick shift that Justin and Lauren learned on. Now the question is: Will Dad save the Red Truck for the grandchildren that will come and will need to learn to drive?

You are growing up before our eyes. Congratulations!

Love, Mari
