*Level 1 Learner’s Driver’s License

how is this even possible?

a licensed parent, guardian or designated licensed adult age 21 or older.

kid congress.
my grandson, Jackson (in the green shirt and shorts)
who loves
people, animals, kindness, dancing, laughing, and tacos
has become a part of a new kid congress
a group springing from the legacy of
‘kid president’
(who has now grown into a young man)
with a mission to show
that kids can help to change the world for the better
thank you to kid president for passing the torch
giving more kids the opportunity to bring good to the world
i couldn’t be prouder of these little people with gigantic hearts.

clubs.
my eldest grandson
asked me to join a book club
that would include
just the two of us
and
the dtc
(deep thought club)
as well.
i’m very flattered .
though i’m behind in my reading
and
was very proud of myself
when i finally finished my book
and we had a good discussion about it.
then he told me there are 3 more in the series
and
i have my work cut out to keep up with him.
we’ve had many deep thought conversations
and i’ve tried to have some answers
but he usually has the best ideas
and
he’s 8 years old.
i’m very flattered that these are such exclusive clubs
and i was asked to be a member.
i’ll do my best.
the answer i found is you stay away from
the people who make fun of you,
and you join these ad hoc groups who understand
your craziness.

deer season is open
aussie grandson m rests peacefully in the states, far away from the sharks, snakes, spiders, puffer fish, and a myriad of super venomous creatures from the animal kingdom down under. never imagining he is under the watchful eye of a woodland deer –
