Local memories: August 2007 Archives

Last Friday, we ran a story on the former Pleasant Grove School, a one-room schoolhouse in Adams County affectionately known as "Mud College."

We've had an ongoing series in the Weekly Record sharing readers' memories of one-room schools. That series, and other stories on these local landmarks, are available at ydr.com/schoolhouses.

And I'm still collecting one-room schoolhouse photos and memories. Post a comment and I'll get in touch with you to share your stories!

I just got back from taking my husband and daughter to see the marching band preview for my alma mater.

I don't know how to describe it except that it felt like home.

People who know me well would probably describe both my fashion sense and my music tastes as eclectic. I'm skater shoes and classic rock, hippie skirts and Christian contemporary, Wranglers and Wynona. And probably some of everything in between.

I look at both clothes and music as ways to tell the world who I am.

So, if you've been reading this blog and learning a little about me, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I'm a huge fan of Little Big Town's newest song, where the title of this post comes from.
