DeleteWhat a cute school, with the bell and everything'

ReplyDeleteMom is definitely aging kindly.

ReplyDeleteI should ask my mom and see if she knows. I imagine you are right.
DeleteWhat a wonderful picture! A good teacher is the best thing any of us can ever have.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little school! Love that it's still in operation.
