And so it was that I went off to school. Sacred Heart catholic school. We wore uniforms and somewhere there is a picture of me with braids and wearing a red blouse with white polka dots and red panties and a navy blue jumper. I know, the panties part is just too much information but they were RED! Daddy drove me somewhere every morning and from there I rode in this van to school. Since I was the youngest they made me sit on the wheel cover in the back instead of a regular seat. It was a very hard and bumpy ride. Sometimes my parents would go away for the weekend and I would stay overnight at the school in the dorm. I remember that we had cocoa for breakfast and it always had this "scum" floating on top...yuck...and I don't remember us having anything else except macaroni and cheese, but I'm sure we must have. One weekend we went on a field trip in the woods and came upon a fire tower. It had metal steps that went up forever. I was scared to death. Whether or not my fear of heights arrived on that day, I do not know.
