Outside of town, we visited her sister's family. My cousin's went to a one-room school house and I went with them. There was no one else in second grade, so I got to be in third. Of the 8 kids in the school, 6 were my cousins. We heated soup on a hot plate for lunch... the bathroom was an outhouse. For recess we chased tumbleweed and went down the slide.<br />The other main thing I remember about this time was that my Aunt Marvel asked us all what our favorite kind of pie was, when the 'boys' came in for lunch, we all had our own whole pie, made just for us....Kristy Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318953032004738866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205412247047588410.post-44875727832828688452009-07-23T19:15:50.222-04:002009-07-23T19:15:50.222-04:00Wonderful post.

My school was in the city but my cousins went to a small school on Saturna Island (maybe two-room). We were so jealous because they got to ride horses four miles to school.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205412247047588410.post-48612205433335136142009-07-22T23:20:26.967-04:002009-07-22T23:20:26.967-04:00Julie, love the new banner!

So I will finish that before I hunt out your recommendation.

The picture is wonderful. Life used to be so much more peaceful.

I never went to school where we had 2 grads together but 1st to 10th I had only 14 kids in my class. Now the same school has 3 grades together. We just don’t have the families we did, the kids go off to school and don’t come back, they stay in the city. The picture you were looking at is Guineas and they do have funny red things on top of their heads (like a horn). Thanks for stopping by and it makes me feel good to know you thought of me. I also will be looking for The Whistling Season; I think I need to read it.Prairie Emporiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261453302069149102noreply@blogger.com
