Little Apartment in the Far East

I loved going over to the Rizner's house to play when I was a kid, and not just because violin music floated up from the basement where Mrs. Rizner constantly taught Suzuki. I loved going there because Caitlyn Rizner had everything we needed to play Little House on the Prairie - bonnets, aprons, and all the rest. I always wanted to be Laura in her grown years, teaching in a one room school house.

And now I have a one room school house of my own.

Funny how our childhood games have a way of becoming reality.
