It's Martin Luther King Day so no work or school today. I know ya'll study Dr. King in school, but I thought you would like to hear a story about what life was like when I was in elementary school....I rode the bus to school everyday, about 5 miles. On the way we passed a school (it was little and maybe 2 rooms) that the black children attended. We had a gym and cafeteria and playground and lots of toilets. Their school had none of those things...and their playground was just a dirt patch with a tree swing and they had an outhouse. They didn't get to choose to go to school there...the law made them...Dr. King worked very hard to change this so all children had the same chance for a good education.
On a really different note...papa/gump and I had to get new phones, so off we went to Best Buys and 2 hours later...woop woop, we have new phones! We have the same numbers and free text...so text us and we'll answer back.
Yay for TEXT!!!!
