Beverly at how sweet the sound hosts Pink Saturday. Stop by her place to see the many other pink items people are sharing.
My granddaughter, Jenna, telephoned and asked me to take her to practice her driving. She's fifteen years old and has her Learner's Permit. I asked her to wear something pink so that I could take a Pink Saturday picture. She struck a pose in her pretty pink shirt.
Notice the pretty pink pearls? That's a vintage necklace from my jewelry box. Jenna borrowed them from me several years ago. I told her she could borrow them as long as she wanted, but truthfully, I never thought she'd want them this long! Don't they look pretty around her neck? It pleases me that she like some of the same things I like.
Although she's only been out practicing her driving five other times, Jenna is already a good driver. She keeps both hands on the wheel and makes excellent turns. She drove smoothly and hardly jerked at all.
At the end of our time together, Jenna said that she loves to drive and was still raring to go, but I was stick-a-fork-in-me-I'm-done! I hope she telephones me for another driving practice time together.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Girl, I srarted to say it isn't Saturday then I thought YES IT IS!. I need a rest. Love the pink top. I got a ticket when I first started to drive, I almost backed over a cop! OOPS. Kathy
Happy Pink Saturday, Sally. My mother is a wonderful treasure, and I am so blessed to have her in my life.
And, you are so blessed to have your very own "pink" granddaughter. Ugh! My grandson is only nine, so we have a while until driving practice begins. Whew!
Oh, Sally girl, this is a priceless PINK posting. She is such a beautiful girl and I loved seeing her drive in her pink shirt and your pink pearls. What I loved the very, VERY most is that she wanted to spend time with her Grandmother !!! I love that! How blessed we are to have these precious grandkids around. I thank the Good Lord every day for mine.
Happy, happy day,
bj

Ugg, I was going to say....hopefully my 15 year old son will do just as well! Happy pink Saturday! C&G Design
What a great grandmother you are to go out practicing! I think it's great that she was a good sport and wore her pink! fabulous. Have a great weekend...
She reminds me of my daughter who is 14, wears lots of pink and black together, and never lets me forget for even one day that soon when she is 15, I will need to start taking her out to drive. LOL I hope it will be more fun than scary!

What a sweet Pink Saturday posting for you! Not only is your granddaughter Pretty in Pink, but it's sweet of you to go riding with her, too. ~ Robyn
Good Morning Sally
That is sooo sweet that she called to ask you to go driving with her. That must have made your day. It would have made mine and nice that she live close enough too. She is darling...very pretty and love her long hair. What a special time. I hope she calls you up another time too. *s*.
Have a lovely rest of the day. Thank you for sharing your pink and the pearls ARE pretty. They must remind her of you...

Oh, now how cute is that !! You KNOW she will be calling for more lessons !! lol !! :) Happy Pink Saturday !!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Lovely PINK model!
~ Gabriela ~
She's a beauty! Maybe she likes the jewelry because wearing it makes her feel closer to you?
The blog addy in the comment you left me comes up as invalid. Just thought you would want to know. The one posted on How Sweet the Sound is ok.
Even the car looks somewhat pink in the picture. It takes a brave person to ride with someone learning to drive. My mom was that brave person. Not only with us, but with neighbor kids too and my kids. I did ride with my kids when they were learning to drive. I think that is where I got some of my gray hairs. Ha! Happy Pink Saturday.
How nice that you got to be part of this milestone with your grand daughter! I love too that she likes your jewelry. My 20 year old daughter wears my jewelry all the time too! Happy Pink Saturday! Suzie
It was hard enough teaching my children to drive,can't imagine it with the grandkids. Yikes!
Oh, what a lovely post and lovely pink pearls. She looks adorable in the pink shirt. My Grandaughter of twelve enjoys watching black & white movies with me - I was surprised. Happy Pink Saturday.

What a pretty pink granddaughter you have! And so grown up looking...she would love that I said that, lol. I love those pink pearls too and don't blame her for wanting to borrow them!
I'm still mommy to a teen, but imagine that it's great fun having grandchildren in their teens!

How wonderful your grand-daughter wants to spend time with you. The pink pearls are fabulous. Have a happy pink day. :)
Wow, she looks great! Very confident! What a milestone. What a lovely and mature daughter you have.
I remember when my son was learning to drive - I let him drive with me to his school each morning, and then I took the car the rest of the way to work. It was a nice time to be together, mom and kid.
happy pink saturday, sal!
Oh, how fun to take her driving. She's so pretty, Sal. Must take after you... :)
I laughed out loud at your stick-a-fork-in-me-I'm-done comment. That is so funny. Thanks for the smile today.
Congrats on learning driver survival...lol...really looks like she is a smart and responsible teen
and a pretty girl too. Way to go Granma! ;-) Bo
Greetings from Finland to you Sally and your grandchildren specially to this beautiful,pink young lady !
Our children can get their driving licenses in that year, when they will be 18 years old.
I have three children, but I or their dad did not teach any of them to drive.Here it is very rare, that parents or grandparents are giving them driving lessons.
Thank you for your visit "my place",welcome again !

Your Jenna is lovely and you deserve a medal for teaching a granddaughter to drive! Mine are still too young, fortunately! Sorry I never linked properly to Blue Monday - will get it right next time. In the meantime, I left you a little prize on my blog! Do visit and pick it up! Love Eleanor
Sally,
What a memories to have that your granddaughter wanted you to go with her to practice her driving. She is adorable! Love the beautiful pink pearl. Looks beautiful on her. Great pink post. Thanks for stopping by..I don't know what happen...but I had my Pink Saturday schedule to post...but it did not post. I just discover it...well..I got my pink up now. You have a wonderful pink Satureday...Katherinellen
What a cute idea for Pink Saturday and what a cute granddaughter. She has such pretty hair. The Reese Withersppon is so funny. I may just borrow it from you.
Hope you are having a happy Pink Saturday and a good weekend in general.
You are very brave. This shows you what love can do.She is lovely.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Blessings, Virginia
Sal with the beautiful Smile! Happy Pink Saturday! I have enjoyed seeing your pink expression. I love how you chose to use it as part of a story instead of just displaying items from around the house like I did. Very creative. Jenna has a pretty smile like you. Have a wonderful evening. I look forward to what you have next. hugs, Ellen
I have a fifteen year old grandson who likes to drive me around now, too. Isn't life fabulous? Take care.
Hi Sally
Thanks for visiting my blog today. It's wonderful to make new blog friends.
I had to laugh at the comic you included. Also, I don't know if I would have given back the vintage pearls. :)
Take care
Nerissa
I just LOVE the pretty pink pearls! :)
Hi Sally,
Your granddaughter is beautiful, must get it from her grandmother!! She'll get the hang of driving. It's like riding a bike, once you learn you don't forget. Well, most of the time anyway. Take Care!!!
Sherrie
P.S. Love the pink beads!!
oh how nice!! I love that your granddaughter played along with Pink Saturday as well:) Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again soon:)
Sally- Your granddaughter is very lovely. I'm glad you could spend time with her-just think of the memories you are giving her! I am sure she will call you again soon. See you Monday- Thanks for stopping by earlier. Happy Pink Saturday from me and my furry staff.
What a fun blog you have! Love those pink pearls! I'm heading over to your other blog now. Take care!

Happy pink Saturday.
Your granddaughter looks like she is ready for a road trip.
Enjoyed your blog. Kris
Hey Sally girl. Funny that you just came to visit me, and once you left I put up a new post. So come back!
Jenna is so pretty and obviously a funky girl. How many different colors does she have in her hair? I think I've counted 4. LOL
Justine :o )
Well look at her all pretty in pink. I'm glad she had you to take her out to practice. I couldn't go out with Britt when she was learning. It made me too nervous!
Happy Pink Saturday.
take care,
Dawn
Hi Sally, Cute pics, your grandaughter is so pretty! Ashley just got her permit, too! She was driving me around today, which was kind of nice! LOL! ~Rhonda :)
Hello Sally, what a brave Grandma to take your 15 year old grand daughter with a permit driving! She is adorable and love the pink necklace!
Love, Ann
Sally, Your granddaughter is so pretty in pink. I love her expression with the keys. I am not sure I would be a good instructor for my granddaughters driving lessons. They are not old enough to drive yet. But soon. sigh. I will be a wreck when they are.
Hugs...Jeanne
How wonderful that you are willing to go out with her. And that you both like the same things-PINK!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Hi Sally,
What a great idea for Pink Saturday! Your granddaughter is just lovely! We are two blessed gals to have grandchildren. I'm a day late but Happy Saturday any way.
hehe, the first driving lessons! this is a great pink post!
Wat a sweet grandaughter you have there, and I love th she wears your pearls and has kept them. Cheers Debra.
What an exciting time! I remember being so utterly grateful to anyone who would let me practice my driving. Jenna is no doubt loving Grandma even more :)
Love those pink pearls! And that's a cute combo: pink shirt, houndstooth tank. Lookin' sharp, Jenna!
Your grand-daughter is so pretty in her pink! I love your cartoon at the begining of your post...too funny. Good luck to her as she works on getting her license :)
Jenna is a doll. I love your post. What a wonderful grandma you are to brrrave the road with a new driver. Happy Pink
