The Teacher's Funeral by Richard Peck. A comedy in Indiana in 1904. This was the car in the book that destroyed Aunt Maude's hat.
On Saturday,Brenda B. along with my fun daughters, & granddaughters Maddy, little Miss Laura spent a rainy day at the Garden Barn. We meet to enjoy it's Fall Open House. It is a barn built in the 1867. It's owner has lovingly decorated with antiques and gatherings of fall vignettes.
We enjoyed warm apple cider and coffee while browsing and discussing the decor. We then realized our tummies were hungry... we agreed to visit next, an original A&W restaurant that remains in this college town of Indianola. Your order is placed by a phone from your booth and oh, was that cold Root Beer in a classic, frosty mug heavenly.
Brenda told us her class was busy discussing the The Teacher's Funeral and she is sharing the changes we have from classroom in 1900s. This brought back the memory of Brenda hosting my sisters at the one school house on our retreat last year at this time. The Bullet #2 was a highlight in discussion of her class and in the book. We had such fun that day! Thanks again B.B.
Now that our Bee sister gathering is past, I find myself missing the fall celebrations. But what fun we also had at our Cancun retreat this year.
