Now, there are stories going around where kids had to walk to school in the snow, uphill both ways!!!
2 and 1/2 miles each way to my 1 room school house. One way was uphill all the way. Sometimes got to ride the horse, but there were 8 other kids. True.

My mom was one of either 12 or 13 kids. Several died when babies. She went to a one room school too. She says that on Friday nights, they would have spelling bees and she was always one of the last ones standing. Guess that is where I got my love of spelling. Back then, baseball was about the only sports activity there was for kids so she really loved it. She use to stay up til about 3 or 4 watching baseball games on TV--my brother had a sat. dish so she was able to do that. She does not care too much for it now, though, since she has trouble hearing and seeing. She says that my dad would have been a good pro player. It is interesting to listen to her talk about the Good Ole Days!!!
