Dearham Gal

We've finally decided on a school for Frankie. Starting April 12, she'll be attending Dearham School.

I hope we made the right choice!

In the end, we decided to go with Dearham because people from the area seem to have a pretty high opinion of the school. Also, Frankie was so much better behaved around the kids and teachers at Dearham, I couldn't help but think that on some level she must have felt more comfortable there.

As for me, it's going to be tough figuring out how to drive to Dearham. The school is in the middle of nowhere, down a long and ridiculously narrow country lane. The road is so small that two cars won't fit on it at the same time, and there are lots of blind turns where you can't see what's coming up around the bend. During the school day, the street (called "The Went") is what they call "voluntary one-way." Basicaly, that means that during school hours Dearham would like the road to be considered a one-way street, but technically it's not enforceable. Most parents will follow the rules, I'm sure. The farmers in the area... Well, apparently they don't necessarily adhere to the system.

I imagne that there is going to be a lot of white-knuckled driving in my future.
