My Scooter

Last time I was here I had a red one.  This time I opted for a blue one.  I'm talking about my new  Suzuki Nex.  :o) 


It is nice to have a bit of independence while here.  Without the scooter I am dependent on the MAF ladies for rides to the stores.   Not that any of them resent helping me out.  On the contrary, they always are very gracious and willing to give me a lift.  But it is nice not to have to always be asking for help.  I hope that isn't pride but thoughtfulness.  :o)

My scooter arrived Friday.  On Saturday morning, one of the other teachers, who is a pro on her scooter, offered to ride along on hers while I followed closely behind.  I did fine - came home all in one piece without a scratch.  And I don't mean on me; I mean on my scooter. 

 Driving a scooter is a bit stressful for me. (Understatement)  One of the hardest parts is getting out my driveway, around the bend and up the incline to the gate.  When I was here before, I got to the point where this wasn't difficult for me.  But yesterday, it left me shaking at the top of the hill.  I'm sure I will get back to the same comfort level as before.  I just need some time.  :o)

A look back down the driveway.  This is my house (above) and school (below).


Check back next Sunday for more news.  Have a great week.
