Wow!!!! that is really something......love the wee school with benches......Beautiful South Dakota, Francine.

Wonderful clicks! I am so jealous abt the one which is in your header. Gorgeous!
I used to think those one-room school teachers had it rough. Then I look around at today's youth and change my mind.
Now, that is a rustic school. Very interesting to think of how it used to be for some.
