Sad news this morning. My old elementary school burned to the ground last night

. It had been turned into a residence and the elderly couple got out but lost all their pets.

"Back in the day when we had to walk 5 miles, uphill, in the snow"

, this building, along with the church, was the center of the community. Soooo many memories there; lifelong friendships; first kiss

; the best cook in the community fixing us lunch every day; President Kennedy's death announcement; first trip to the principals office

...so sad to see it gone.
