Truth is, this isn't the first time I've been asked about the signs. We - Piper and I - pulled into the the Burger King parking lot and got out to switch places. An older Latino man hollered across the sidewalk, "Are you for real, or is this some kind of joke?" A joke?? "Uh no, no joke. We have a new driver in the family, the signs help the people around us be more patient with her while she's learning." And HE had laughed. Walked off laughing and shaking his head, occasionally looking over his shoulder and laughing some more. "Great," Piper muttered. She managed to force a smile at another older man walking behind us who had heard the earlier exchange and was giving me a thumbs up. Her friends, even her brother, were in total sympathy with her, "that's sooo embarrassing." Well, she was getting honked at people and it was making her nervous and frustrated. I want her to be a good and confident driver. This has helped. She didn't mind the smile and thumbs up from the passing cop. Then again he was particularly cute. The signs stay on until she is more confident with her timing . . . . . . . . . and corners, she's still struggling with those. Still haven't tackled freeways. Not sure I'm up for it yet.
In other news, yes I'm a clutz! Twice in the last week I've spilled large amounts of water over my art table. Wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't working on my WATERCOLOR illustrations for my book! The first time, the water ruined the piece I was working on. All I could do was lift the drenched paper and watch two hours worth of work running off the page in a blaze of glorious color. Tonight, Oh so silly me, my phone got it the worst and 24 pages of reference material I spent hours printing out all this last week. That's why I had a few minutes right now. I strung a line across my living room and back again with a floor fan doing it's best to dry them out for me. Looks like a line full of wash inside the house. Buntah would love it but I just fed her, she is digesting in my bathtub for now.
