Your Grandmother Chandler's house sounds just like one of my grandmother's. I remember when she was so excited to get running water in the house (just a cold water tap, but wonderful). I have written so much about times in that house-special memories. I think if you began the conversation, students would begin to respond. And, a different question: Have you read Hattie Big Sky, by Kirby Larson? It's about Montana, & lovely.Linda Baiehttp://www.facebook.com/linda.baienoreply@blogger.com
