The Good Old Days


I thought I would go back to the good old days, when all you had to worry about is: "What's in my lunch today?" So I'm starting with my education, Grade 1 with Mrs Pitts,1968-1969. Can you find me? I'm the cute one, distracted for some reason!!


Grade 2 with Mrs Lucher, 1969-1970. Westside Elementary. That school does not exist anymore. Hummmm. I remembering telling Mrs Lucher the truth and she wouldn't believe me, so I lied to her, told her what she wanted, and she said "Now doesn't that feel better to tell the truth?" I remember thinking, "Hmmm, odd, nope it doesn't feel better, but you are off my back, what else can I do?" Funny the things we remember, I have no clue what the lie was about, a book or something.


Now this is my class at Robert Rundle Elementary School in St. Albert, AB. 1996-1997. Its Grade 4 and I'm the teacher!  This was the last year I taught school.  I only taught elementary one year out of the 12 yrs I did teach. Really I'm a High School French Teacher.
(I wonder what those kids are doing now?)

I'm turning very old in the next few days so I'm trying to remember the good old days before I can't. I haven't been blogging and I'm trying to put things together so that I have a bit of history/journaling to go along with my blogs.
