My mother ...Such a fun and interesting read, Judy! My mother went to a one-room schoolhouse right through 8th grade and never stopped singing its praises. In the 1960s my younger brother went to a 2-room school. Too long a story to go into here, but due to a physical handicap he needed to be on one level. Our local school refused to move a classroom to make that possible, so he was tuitioned to another area school that could accommodate him. The local school would never get away with that nowadays!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-38705273868896653952018-02-24T09:06:33.216-06:002018-02-24T09:06:33.216-06:00Haha!

Guess that with all the extras you took, you’ll be goiter free straight through the millennium. I very much appreciate old schoolhouses and feel right at home in them. I think that you do, too.

So interesting . There's an old school house about two miles from here. I keep thinking someone will safe it. Speaking of Catholics. My mother in law used to tell the story of waiting by a fence and calling this one boy a Cat-Licker...some kind of spin on catholic. Well that boy chased her down once and thumped her head. She went home crying and her mother said , "Now Francis, what did you call that boy? " My MIL told her mom and her mom said , so behave, you asked for that thumping. LOL The strange thing is...that boy and Francis grew up and they had children that married and made them relatives. LOL.

The church style ones remind me of Little House. I like the old desk in your library with your cute grandson working at it. We had a couple of old desks when we were little. My father was a plumber and he use to do a lot of work in the old Catholic churches and schools. I've been underneath some in the cellar and the cellar has the outlay of the building above. Some have another entire church beneath with an alter and seating underneath, sometimes shrines to walk around on the outside of the seating. Sad to see them torn down and not preserved for their history. So many built by specific immigrant groups like the Italians, French, and so on. xoxo SuButterfly 8)(8 Bungalow https://www.blogger.com/profile/12407401010841427366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-68849951904308534542018-02-23T07:43:55.487-06:002018-02-23T07:43:55.487-06:00I loved this post, Judy.

Seeing ...Loved this school house journey back . . .<br />Seeing Wisconsin School Houses brought back some memories . . . <br />I remember being inside of a School House near Lone Rock, Spring Green or thereabouts. <br />I think I remember it referred to the school, “in the valley.”<br />One of my mothers friends taught in that school.<br /><br />The old school desks were in the small Lone Rock school where my parents taught.<br />My mom was my first grade teacher, my dad the principal. <br />Someone carved my name in one of the desks . . .<br />with a “slur” on our family name. (Wow, that sure has stayed with me.)<br /><br />Michigan has small schoolhouses scattered throughout the state as well.<br />Most have been restored as residences . . . antique shops. <br /><br />At one time I had an old school desk for my children to “play school.”<br />Wonder where it is now . . . <br /><br />I remember a . . .”they are Catholic” comment too. <br />Having lived where everyone was Congregational, Methodist or Lutheran . . .<br />“Being Catholic” brought in some kind of “anomaly, strangeness” I guess.<br /><br />Strange how I remember the “fragrance” of old school rooms, buildings . . .<br />Must be the combination of real wooden floors, chalk dust and old upright pianos. <br /><br />Thank you Judy for this post.<br /><br />Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723721131329150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-87344462368256883042018-02-23T06:52:27.623-06:002018-02-23T06:52:27.623-06:00I.LOVE.LOVE.LOVE.LOVE this post. All of the photos...I.LOVE.LOVE.LOVE.LOVE this post. All of the photos flipped me back in time, like a school house time machine. i want to live in the first one, but not with snow. love that one best. the school you went to for 1 and 2 grades, i went to one just like it, 2 rooms, 1-3 in one room and 4-6 in second room. in my fifth grade glass there were 4 girls and 1 boy who was the most beautiful boy ever. i even remember his name. Donny Money.... oh my and for grade 7 and 8 the school was just like that big brick school but was frame, shaped the same. did i say how much i love this post???? and i am still giggling at the Catholic thing, we were Baptist and my first best friend in middle of 9th grade, was Catholic and we are still best friends now and are in contact on FB and email daily. my dad was horrified that he could not break our bond. i was in her wedding she in mine, she had to get special permission to go inside a Baptist church, i was not allowed to stand on the inside of the rail around the party. i am so glad TIMES HAVE CHANGED and all these silly things no longer matterMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-41797505962164216312018-02-23T06:15:52.020-06:002018-02-23T06:15:52.020-06:00How I wondered what it was like to go to a country...How I wondered what it was like to go to a country school.
