A very small town, not stop lights at all and the school here goes from K-8 then everyone is bused to the county seat to enter high school. This is one of those towns that everyone knows everyone.<br />KristieKristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928146431909761723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-31239814405316174322011-08-06T22:17:47.590-04:002011-08-06T22:17:47.590-04:00What a wonderful trip down memory lane.

Boy the things we were able to get away with back then :) <br /><br />What fun to go back and see all those beloved places of our childhood! You look like you had so much fun! I loved my first school. It was for all grades 1-12, and both of my older cousins were there too, so I felt right at home. Sadly, they tore down the original building and built a new one in its place for elementary grades. The neat thing is that my daughter-in-law teaches there and my granddaughter is in 2nd grade there now!

I met you last summer in Sisters and we compared notes about your school experiences. I have not been successful to comfirm if I was your Kdg teacher but there is a really good chance that I was. Have you asked your mom about your early school teachers as she might remember? I see the building principal frequently but he said the records were gone as are mine. So glad to hear that your time in Minnetonka was "priceless".<br />I heart Snuffy's!!Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786349576670166068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-20264223076922127462011-08-05T21:01:35.440-04:002011-08-05T21:01:35.440-04:00It's funny but I drove past my grade school ye...It's funny but I drove past my grade school yesterday with my two nieces and it doesn't look the same - they have added on and remodeled.

In my hometown The Strand is a pool hall! And my first school...is now owned by an artist and her husband. I thought that was so cool. I stopped by to get a maple seedling to bring home with me and had a nice chat with her about 9 years ago.debbie mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500909471875374939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-32794319616694427012011-08-05T17:55:15.036-04:002011-08-05T17:55:15.036-04:00This is so wonderful!

So, like Doris above me, I live in my past. It is a very nice experience. I am grateful, though, that you posted this because I have sisters who left and occasionally visit. It's easier to understand how they feel when they return. They say, "everything has changed and stayed the same" and now I understand.<br />MaryMary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-41943536891686598082011-08-05T16:52:49.889-04:002011-08-05T16:52:49.889-04:00I grew up 1 block from the elementary school I att...I grew up 1 block from the elementary school I attended. My parents still live in the same house as then, but the elementary school building has been incorporated into the high school next to it (which I also attended) and they have built a new elementary school about 1 mile away. I now live about 4 miles from the new school.<br />Looks like you have had a fun "sentimental journey."<br />Good for you!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19949973021446046262011-08-05T16:27:39.268-04:002011-08-05T16:27:39.268-04:00Hello Bonnie,

One for the 1st to the 4th grade and the other one for the 5th to the 8th grade! Incredible isn't it? And I am still living in the house I was born and grew up (I was only off a few years when I studied). So my past ist still with me in present all the time. That's also a very nice experience.<br />Have a good time :o) DorisLintLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03773157303784794136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2501094387174738822011-08-05T16:22:22.574-04:002011-08-05T16:22:22.574-04:00Can't really visit my old school they knocked ...Can't really visit my old school they knocked it down and rebuilt I hope a better one.

We lived up north when I was growing up, so I've never been back to the places of my childhood, but I do sometimes remember the smells and the sounds.
