I have lived in Boulder Junction all my life. It was a great place to live and grow up in, but now things are changing some with all the new people and their city ways of life.
I started school at what they called Play Day run by the mothers who had kids there. It was located across from St. Anne Church. Then onto grade school at the site of the old community center for 3 1/2 years. Those were the best years of school. We got to do so many fun things and the teachers had the time to help all of us learn, but all good things come to an end. Then it was on to North Lakeland. I was not fond of going to school there.
Another memory was visiting with Santa every year. We would gather outside by the town Christmas tree; the kids all had some time to play with each other and the parents visited or sang Christmas songs. It was like an old fashioned gathering. No one seemed to care what the weather was like, just time for the town to get together and have some family and town fun.
I have more I could share with you but I will make it short for now and just say that I’m glad my parents picked this area as the place they wanted to call home and grow their family. I can’t think of any other place that I would be glad to call home.
