Families….Another memory kicked in, grade school

Photo of the day: 

 This is a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline. My dad tried one of these out, Took the family on a ride, while I was in the 3rd grade, but did not buy it.

So for today:

Thanksgivings change over the years because the Family becomes diluted in numbers and different paths are taken.  When first we were married we shared families, but in a few years we associated with my girl’s family since they were located mostly nearby and Sherry & her sisters shared a very close bond, and even more so after her sweet mother’s passing.

Many entries I make are sparked by something YOU write in comments or in your blogs.  Today My mind went back the Third Grade, public school in Burlington, NC.

The bible and prayer were in school with me from the first grade until I quit school in the 10^th or 11^th grade, I cannot even remember when I ‘dropped out.’  Sherry will tell me. LOL

In Valdese and in Belmont I remember most, morning devotions given by a student over the loudspeaker system at school.  The Bible was used many times for memory lessons.  Today I was reminded of the 100^th Psalm.  That is still burned into my memory from Ms Flemming’s 3^rd grade.

My 3rd grade school picture.

We were also taught city governments, I was assigned the ‘job’ as Little Burlington’s Fire Chief..

I lived 2 blocks from school and walked to and from every day from First thru the Third Grade. It was a city school. Burlington was a city I guess, but what I remembered most was seeing squirrels walking the power lines up town.  I was used to seeing squirrels in the woods. LOL.
