About a week ago Tehya drove us to Vancouver
so that she could practice her driving in the area where her road test was scheduled for.
It's been difficult to book locally, so our carefee, brave girl opted for the city.
One of the things I love about Vancouver in spring are the blossoming trees.
I am so happy to see that they let them just arch over the street.
I could not get enough of the view.
Once we were done with locating the school zone and practicing parallel parking,
she decided to drive through downtown to Stanley Park.
Stanley Park is one of the largest urban parks in the world, mostly surrounded by water.
It borders the downtown of Vancouver and that is one of the beautiful things about it ...
an oasis in the city, which literally keeps the city from expanding.
We walked the seawall for a ways on this beautiful day.
So special that she didn't mind spending the day with us, when she had other options.
Two days later, I drove in with her again
and I got to see her return from her test with a big smile and thumbs up!
Nervousness was replaced with the thrill of achievement as
we savored our coffees and banana bread on a sidewalk bench before driving home.
(The picture that never got taken but remains in my heart.)
What a joy and privilege it is to be able to be part of this season of her life -
even while it takes her one step closer to freedom.
❤❤❤

Such a beautiful young lady. Love the smile that makes her eyes dance. What a treat for you to be able to enjoy this stage of her life.
Way to go Tehya! It’s hard to believe that grandkids are at the stage of “freedom” already. Where does the time go? Glad you are having moments to savour and remember with the one that gave you the title of Grammy.
What a joy for you to have this time with her... and for her to have this time with you. Such special memories that will last a lifetime.
Yay for Tehya! She will always treasure this time with her grandparents.
