ROADS TOO SLIPPERY FOR SCHOOL BUS. HANK DRIVES TO SCHOOL.

---

Raining most of day,

turning to snow in late P.M.

School Bus did not come

this morning on account

of slippery roads.

Hank drove to school

this P.M. and wrote

semester tests in

typing and chemistry.

I went to Lucille's and

helped her "try out" lard.

Has a nice lot of it.

About 150#.

While I am fascinated by "trying out" lard, that is not what strikes me most about this post.

The roads were so slippery that the school bus did not come but Hank drove to school in the afternoon to take two exams.

Can you just imagine the Facebook posts from parents today if their kids had to get themselves to school to take exams on a day when the buses didn't run.

Edna just records the entire thing as a matter of fact.
