Last fall, I realized that my driver's license had disappeared! Had they been stolen? Don't think so, some of my other cards would be missing, too. I looked high and low for the sucker; in the motorhome, under the cushions of the sofa, in the car, my handbags, David's pockets...but no license.
I let it ride for a while because I just knew they would appear eventually. Well, Christmas came and I went to the credit union for my annual withdrawal for Christmas $$ and took my world recognized passport. Unfortuanately, my credit union does not recognize passports, but requires a STATE ID card! So I finally had to give up and go to the DMV for a replacement card. I had hoped that they would re-take my photo cause we all know how terrible the driver's license picture is of ourselves, but no, they would use the same old, ugly photograph on my replacement card and still charge me $22!
About 15 days later, my replacement card arrived and I was finally able to get my Christmas $$ for my kiddies. I totally gave up on the old card and went on my merry way.
This week while David & I were in Anaheim, we went to the market for some groceries. I had on my capris that had been packed away for the winter. As we were walking into the store, I felt my hip pocket and there was a little hard rectangle thingy in there. Unbuttoned the pocket and, you guessed it, there is my driver's license!!! It had survived a good washing, warm drying and got tucked away for a long winter's nap only to be brought out out in the Southern California sunshine!!!
Now I have two CA driver's license....I'm good until October and then I'll trade them in for a Tennessee driver's license. Go figure!!!
