Old tin ceiling from a South Dakota schoolhouse...

There once was a little girl who lived in South Dakota, who dreamed of a house of her own some day..and in that house would be old things with history and interesting stories behind every piece she had. This little girl lived in a home where additions to the house she lived in came from old schoolhouses that her dad would buy and tear down. Cold winters she would go with her brothers and sisters (after packing hot cocoa and sandwiches) to tear these schoolhouses down... and she would wonder... of the history she was taking. She dreamed that someday she could have some of it for her own house... The memories of old boards and school benches and tin ceiling tiles never left that little girl and when she heard many, many years ago that another schoolhouse was going down..she had some of that old tin sent to her...And it came in a sheet with chippy cream paint and it made her glad..cuz now, she had some of her own to put into her home. And she had history that she could share with her children... of the days when she was a little girl....dreaming of the day when she would have a home of HER own...Thanks for stopping by! love ya! mean it!
