Other than finals, we spent the last week of school cleaning up our classrooms: washing & dusting the entire room, desks, shelves, etc.., turning in & organizing books, etc.... We also had field days, playing softball etc...
I remember the November of my senior year: the bus driver let me leave my trapping pack, coat & waders in the bus so I could check my muskrat trap line after school. Of course I lived out in the middle of nowhere, most of the kids in our area lived on dairy farms. Everyone hunted, fished and/or trapped. I even remember kids bringing shotguns & rifles into wood shop to refinish them. Wasn't a big deal as long as you did bring ammo and the teacher knew.
We got finals till wed, this is the first year in my 8 years of grade school where we are acutualy doing somthing the last week of school, I gotta confess though, friday at 1 pm (when we get out) odds are I'll be at the fairhope pier and won't leave till it's time to work, then I'll go back, and repeat this over and over again, stopping every wed. to go to the GS pier
The "good old days": like back when there was no internet, no computers, no cable TV, no TV at all, cars had no air bags, safety glass and lasted 50,000 miles before they died, no AC or central heat, no vaccinations or antibiotics, no refrigeration, had to ride a horse to get to town, most people lived to be maybe 50, chances of surviving childhood was less than 50/50,......, those good old days?????
Hindsight is always 20/20 and tinted by rose colored glasses.
i like were im at now fishing, eating, sleeping, breathing!!!!
The only thing better about the old days than now is that my mom and dad were still alive.
One day you young guys will talk about your good old days....they won't be the same as ours...but ya'll will enjoy bringing them up....
Know exactly what you mean Haywire...
