Ringing in the New School Year

Posted by Speaking from the Heart at Tuesday, August 12, 2008

This 100 year old bell was hung at a local church. Mom gave it to us as an early Christmas gift. Dear husband repainted the bell and made a post for it.

This bell will be great to get the kids to return to class.

   OOPS! I have about 5 windows up, and I posted the wrong comment for you!
   
   The bell is neat. Our neighbor uses a "dinner bell" to call her boys home when it's time to eat. We chuckle each time we hear it.

   It's so nice you could join us again. We use a cow bell here to call school to order. I love my bell.
