I think it was Mrs. Kurtz in first grade that introduced me
to the Little House books. She read Little House in the Big Woods to
us. I can remember when she got to the part where Pa gives Laura a spanking.
Isn't that weird? Maybe it's because I was afraid of my own Pa giving me one. I
don't know. Then I think Mrs. Rothaar in third grade read one or more of the
series. I know I read the whole set of books myself, and I've read Little
House in the Big Woods to a couple of my classes over the years, but I
really should go back and reread them all. Just for kicks.
At home we watched the show, but I wouldn't say we were the
most loyal of fans. We may have missed an episode or two, but when the series
ended and they blew up the town, I remember my mom and I bawling our eyes out
and my dad looking at us like we were the two craziest people he'd ever met.
I loved Laura Ingalls Wilder. Didn't you?

Yes... we love Little House on the Prairie. :) When I read the series to Wesley and Mikayla it was a wonderful time for us. They still watch it some today. Now.... about the blowing up of the town.... I DID NOT SEE THAT. Did they do it in a show or do it with the Hollywood set or what? That just makes me sad!
I am having flashbacks of you and Longwith having Little House marathons. I have never know two more devoted fans.
By the way, I love your writing. You. crack.me.up!
"known"
whoopsie.
I loved Little House. I so wanted to be like Half Pint. She was my hero growing up. I wish my girls would get into it.....but sadly they have not. I think I am going to try the shows again. Thanks for memories.
