Grandpa had many stories. He lived a good long life.
As a child.. riding in horse drawn wagons, to the family getting their first motor vehicle.
His Grandparents owned a store. And he and his brothers joined the military and went over seas.
He knew alotta people in his life. Experienced alotta things. And from these stories he has handed down telling his kids and grankids , and I want to retell and share.

We all have stories , and I want to encourage good and kid-friendly , family tales.
I would love to read about stories your family has told thru the years.

So the story , I will tell again, about grandpa being five years old and the school bell.

The other day , @mobil-joat , @lil-joat and I (@g-gurl) drove down to take pictures of the ole school house.

Pictured here is where the kids went to school. And there was a bell but the kids wasn't allowed to ring it . Kids used their imagination to come up with things to do, and orneriness along with it.
The older kids , that could reach the pull string, didnt want to be in trouble with the teacher so they came up with the plan to pick up a smaller kid who couldnt reach on his own. And the bell was rang and the humor of what they had done, tickled them kids , as they ran off leaving the small kid to answer to the teacher alone !

Later in the day @lil-joat and @granny48 an myself went back for another picture. I got to thinking @lil-joat is 5 years old now an would make a good visual image of what grandpa looked like, in size, way back then! So here is to our family history, grandpas great grandson standing on the same schoolhouse porch.....
