Driving Lesson

Well friends, Michael gave me my first driving lesson on a manual car. Yes, we are still married. I didn't have too much trouble, and only stalled 3 or 4 times. I've got the shifting from 1st to 2nd ok, and stopping, but it's the "getting out of the gate" part that i'm having trouble with. I did ok 2 times in a row and I think I got a little cocky - so of course that meant I screwed up on the 3rd try. We'll keep practicing every night but I have to have it down pat by next Monday, since that's when he's leaving and I'll need to be able to get the car back to our house. It's not as hard as I thought - in a parking lot - it's just that Italians are worse than New Yorkers on the road. I'm very nervous about driving with them.

I'll post something about Munich tomorrow. I had Starbucks twice - "OH HAPPY DAY". Caryn you'll have to wait until Christmas!!! We found all 3 Starbucks and went into each one - we found The Salvation Army and were a little disappointed since it was an ARC. Can you believe that there's no corps in all of Munich - it's a huge city. Uncle Jim, when you're General you'll have to take care of that!!!!

I have Bible Study in the morning and it's a pot luck lunch so I made a salad. I have to study or at least look over the stuff for the drivers test tomorrow. I haven't even had time to do that. Keep Michael in your prayers, he's having a hard time with keeping up with his nose that's overflowing. He won't take any Sudafed to help. And if anyone talks to Mhairi will you tell her I said hi and that I miss her. I need to know about when her parents are coming this way.
