All thanks to our Turk! We never did anything fun like that when I was in school...ya know, at the one room schoolhouse.

That's some funny chit right there!!

Did you walk 10 miles, in 6 feet of snow - up hill both ways?

Was just thinking the same thing because of the story my dad used to like to tell about his childhood regarding the walk to school (though, in his case, it was all pretty much true -- one room schoolhouse, 1930's, and dirt poor family that didn't always have shoes).

Yes, my grandma told very similar, only they were fortunate to have a little money. They always had shoes but they did not wear them until they got to the school (to keep down on wear) and Grandma had a smart horse that would take her to school and go home again alone. Her father would then let the horse out when it was time for school to end and it would go pick her up.
(I was fortunate enough to live with Grandma a few years before she died, wrote down as many stories as I could)

So Thing 1 got her first phone call just now, it was her cousin from the big city (very city mouse, country mouse here) I am not sure what he had to say but the first thing out of her mouth was "The rooster got [thing 2] but Mama killed him."

That's awesome!

And Turk, that's AWESOME!
