You sound like you have so much fun! <br /><br />My school was smaller than your school! I went to a one room grade school, down in Iowa like your first commenter! There were three of us through the eighth grade. Oh, how I loved that little school and my friends. We're too spread apart to have a club.....one in Wisconsin, one still in Iowa, and me here in Minnesota. So I think the best thing would be to just join your group!<br /><br />Love your stories!<br />and love you,<br />MargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398347951744910818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275037611904355740.post-11584768822032353322010-06-23T13:02:47.257-05:002010-06-23T13:02:47.257-05:00That is the wonderful thing about rural communitie...That is the wonderful thing about rural communities. You will generally have life-long friendships with people you knew since you were a young child. I went to a one room rural school in Iowa. I was the only one in my class and had only teacher from first grade through eighth grade. We have a reunion party every year. Generally there will be about 20 of us--not bad since there probably was not more than 15 of us in school at the same time. Amazingly, everyone has been extremely successful in life without any one becoming a farmer as our parents were. I love the idea of your Ya-Ya gathering. That sounds as if it would be German or Scandinavian--or maybe both? In my case it was 100% Norwegian and our teacher constantly had to remind us to say yes--not ya. Uff Da, as my mother used to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
