This was my first day of school in 1958. I was in second grade.
A wonderful neighbor lady by the name of Minnie Zauche was my second grade teacher. I adored her. I loved reading..learning to read opened a whole new world to me. I was a good reader. Mrs. Zauche said I talked too much in the lunch room but I still had a fairly good year in the second grade. Sometime during the year I had my tonsils removed and got to have soup in the kitchen with Arvilla until my throat was all better. Arvilla was the school cook, I loved being sick enough to get special care in the kitchen.
This is the step that faced east in the old farm house. Through the door was a porch that was cold and drafty. Another door in the porch led into the kitchen. I think this was the year that the Christmas tree was out in the porch.
I think my coat was Robin’s Egg Blue, and my Mother sewed it for me. The house was white..weren’t all farm houses white back then? 
WOW! 1958…I was starting my junior year in college but then I am a much older bag than young YOU!!!
