Granola nourishes memories

I have a passion for homemade granola. My recent visit to Kingston Elementary School in southern Oklahoma brought back fond memories. Thinking about all the energy teachers and students expend is certainly an inspiration to look for healthy ways to start the day. Granola makes a great start for a busy day.
All of us probably remember our first-grade teachers. Mine was Mrs. Robinson, and her smile of approval was a high priority for me at Dickson School, a large district about 10 miles east of Ardmore.
Mrs. Robinson was pleasant and patient. I thought her penmanship the best I had seen. I worked so hard to make my letters look as pretty and as straight as hers.
I almost got my only spanking in school from her, though. Mrs. Robinson kept a little paddle ball paddle for this purpose. I had put my early penmanship skills to practice writing a note to Steve Wells, my elementary school boyfriend.
When she asked me to bend over, I told her my tummy hurt. She said that I needed to stand on the porch area instead and have some fresh air. Excluded from the classroom that day, I would never know if the paddle hurt more than one's pride. Still, the school remains a happy memory.
I remember the Dickson School cafeteria's macaroni and cheese and the pinto beans. Mother only cooked the little white navy beans, so the pintos were a new treat for me. They were so good.
We enjoyed nice desserts and lots of flavored gelatin in that cafeteria. Often, we had cherry or peach cobbler, always with a flaky crust atop. Boy that tasted good!
When I taught in Stillwater, our cafeteria sent trays of crispy cinnamon toast to the teacher's lounge. It was made from heavily buttered slices of the previous day's cinnamon rolls. Delicious! [1, 2]
