When I was a kid, many, many, many years ago, there was an old song that went like this:
School days , school days, dear old golden rule days;
Reading and writing and 'rithmetic taught to the tune of a hickory stick.
You were my bashful barefoot beau - I was your queen in calico;
I rode on your sled. I love you, Joe; when we were a couple of kids!
Now in the little two room school house I attended, there were 2 teachers - Miss Faye and Miss Frances. Miss Faye's husband was indeed named "Joe", but Miss Frances' was called Claudie.
Sooooooo, when we sang above mentioned song Miss Faye sang out loud and clear. "I love you,
Joe". Not to be outdone Miss Frances chimed in with "I Love you, Claudie", then they would both almost collapse with laughter.
Yes, this really happened and I look back fondly remembering these 2 young teachers
proclaiming their love in such a happy and meaningful way!!!!

Wow, you kids musta been pretty wild. My old schoolhouse is still standing!
Hey Mom...now days singing in school would be seen as disruptive and improper behaviour.How things have changed, huh?
I remember when Granma said that when she was in school, when a plane came over...everybody went outside to watch it cause they hadn't seen that many planes.
Love hearing about "the good ol' days". I do believe things were better then. Things were different when we went to school but I remember certain things so well. I especially remember my first grade teacher, Mrs. Guy.
Keep blogging.
Love you.
Thanks for comments, kids!
Ashley, will your school building still be standing 75 years from now/ Think about it. . . .
Yep, Skip, planes were not a very common sight. Hard to believe, isn't it?
b., I remember Mrs Guy, too and other dear teachers you kids had!
