Sometimes when we have free time, Heather and I like to do what we call "adventuring". This involves driving in the country, usually on dirt roads, and trying to go places we haven't been before. When I was young, my Dad used to take us on Sunday drives that were similar in nature. I hated it then, but now I enjoy it!
On this day we were near the area I grew up in and I was showing Heather places I remembered from my childhood.
When we drove by this "barn" I knew she would be thrilled to hear that in its former life, it was a one room schoolhouse, and that my Dad went to school here.
Dad is one of 10 kids, and they all attended school here. He is 81 years old, so this building has been around for awhile. It's had a few additions put off the sides of it, the front door was removed and a sliding door put on and it hasn't been painted for some time. However - you can see the old design.

I love these old windows.
There is a piece added on to the left side of the building that holds another thing from the past. I would have liked to walk up and check this out, but I was good and stayed on the road. It looks like a neat old car though!
It was a fun adventure!
