i flunked my road test at the DMV...

yesterday

my dad turned 71

{handsome guy isn't he}

~

while i was growing up he owned a car dealership

~

after months of practicing how to drive

in used cars from his used car lot when i was 15

my big day finally arrived to try for my driver's license

~

he brought home a brand new car for me to take to the DMV

~

unfortunately during the road test

it started to rain

and

the windows fogged up

and

no matter what i did

the defrosters in the new car wouldn't work

and

i couldn't see out the windows

and

the examiner flunked me

~

i cried

~

and

do you know

i think it's the only time i have ever been mad at my dad

{i did get my license the second time around}

~

now granted

he raised three daughters

and

there was probably something at sometime

that he didn't let me do or didn't let me have

but

i don't remember ever being mad at him

other than that day

~

love you

dad

on our way to my sister's house this past weekend

to celebrate dad's birthday

i made the hubby stop so i could talk to these horses

~

here they're telling me how happy they are

that spring is finally here
