DeleteCongrats on your drivers license. I am always so happy to renew mine. Here in IL we have to pass a road test after 75 every other year, every year after 85, but neighboring states do not always require them. Donna _cps2 Lansing, IL
ReplyDeleteHi Donna--Yes It seems we have that road test now also--never used to have it--Lynda
DeleteOur road test is after 80 I believe--Lynda
DeleteCongrats! In case they didn't tell you the rules for drivers over 80, I found this link that covers the info: https://www.caa.ca/driving-safely/senior-drivers/renewing-your-drivers-licence/. I couldn't remember if you are in Ontario or Quebec. The link on the CAA page for Quebec doesn't work, so I found this one: https://saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/road-safety/client-groups/seniors/health-safety-seniors-road. Your situation prompted me to check the rules here in NC. Found out that at age 66, renewal times decrease form 8 years to 5 years. i jsut renewed mine this yea at 61, so my next one will go to the 5 year rule. Poo! Hope they reduce the cost since it's for less years.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, cute glasses! I jsut got a new prescription, so I might be getting a new frame. I like the bigger ones like you have because of my progressive lenses, gives me more room at the bottom for the reader part. Hope Costco has gotten some new frames to choose from that don't cost an arm and a leg. :)
DeleteI am in Ontario-- Bad day to-day ----was worrying all day--Lynda
DeleteGood morning sis, and GREAT GOOD NEWS! I would prefer to drive myself, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the new glasses! Fancy...
I have my physical therapy appointment virtually (with my web cam on the computer) at 11:30. I will check back after that to see if you have added anything. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Hi Maggie--very sad day to-day-- I am a worry-wart--dunno if i will gdt my licence back-- lordy!--lynda
DeleteHappy Friday Lynda,
ReplyDeleteAnd it truly is! What good news about getting your driver's license back. Woo Hoo! I am sure that had to be nerve wracking waiting on the results.
Now you need to go out and celebrate with a nice lunch or dinner.
Hope Sushi and Lopez are doing well.
Have an awesome day and now I know you will.
Hugs,
Jackie

DeleteHi Lynda: Congrats on your license. Your new doctor is something else but at least it is finished! Make that appt. asap. Like your new glasses too. Have a good day. Brenda
ReplyDeleteBrenda that new Dr of mine is being difficult--I did not do well on the memory test so --it has changed things=lynda
DeleteI am cheering loudly for you in Ohio!!!!! Can you hear me?? Allison does!! When are you coming to see her? I cannot wait! Ice cream and more ice cream! LOL! Your glasses are so beautiful and classy. Just like you. Big hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you cheering (No I do not!)-And yes I definitely will let you know when I do get to Ohio--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. That is GREAT news! They should not have taken your license away in the first place! And I love the new glasses! Have a wonderful day today!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I knew it would happen! And, nice glasses! I got a new pair of bifocal glasses back in early winter, but cannot wear them because I cannot get used to the bifocal part. I wear my older set of glasses, since my eyes have not changed much. I only wear them at night when things tend to get more blurry.
ReplyDeleteMarti
Marti--I did not pAss the memory test so dunno now if I will get my licence back--bad day here-- Lynda--so awful eh??--
DeleteSo happy for you! Independence is to be prized.
ReplyDeleteIndependence was so hard to-day--not looking good as I ciod not pass the memory part of that test--Lynda
DeleteWay to go Lynda. You aced it. You may be in your 80s, but you're alert, your sharp, you have a sense of humor and of course you passed your memory test. I think the first time you were simply over ansious about what the doctor was making you do. I am so very happy for you Lynda. Congratulations. Very stylish glasses for a lady that has style.
