It's back to school time. We can remember when that was big deal says Orla. I was happy to go to school when I was young. And then later as a Mother I was even more pleased that the children were out of the house.
We decided that a computer could have it's uses. But we aren't sure about Facebook because of the loss of privacy concerns. I hope to change that. It is a great way to keep in touch.
We enjoyed the miniature horse Princess who came to see us last week. She was friendly and even showed off her jumping skills for us. Orla wanted to take the horse to bed with her. Annie Leard loves horses to this day. She would hitch up a horse and take it out for a ride when she was young but she says this was long time ago. Mary says she hitched up a lot of horses in her day too. That was the only way to get around whether is was to church or the store. Gerard developed a love for horses as though he saw lots of them in the coal mines of Cape Breton. Marion's father kept a horse for running errands. She learned to control the horse and drive it back home after she dropped off her Dad at his work. Beryl had work horses on the farm. She would help Dad out and make deliveries to the next farm for example.School was from 9 to 3:30 pm and near by so there was lots of time to help around the farm in those days.
