today we met some friends at the park for a picnic. the daughters played happily in the rain, hair and noses dripping, and paid no attention to my lovingly-crafted fake meat and pickle sandwiches. we mothers talked happily about librarianism. a fine time was had by all. until the junkies showed up! it is their park too, yes, and that's fine,

Did you do the earlier ones first? I think I was more into the ones where Laura is little, when I was little.

Bear grease! OH PA MARRY ME even though your hands probably would not span my waist because I do not remember any mention in the books of your hands being freakishly large.

eeeeheeheehee, i am glad you approve of pa. he is a fine, fine man, and how about that fiddle!

on the prairie is the second book - we tried the first (in the big woods) a while ago and it didn't work either. perhaps this is just one of those things that has not stood the test of time (i am referring, of course, to kids in the hall and - dare i say it - the young ones).

Emily liked the Little House books far more than I did. Though I had the entire set on hand for her, because they had been a gift. She loved all the building and stuff.

I have to say that Pa and I would have never made it as a couple. I could have forgiven the crossing the river of cracking ice, but topping it with fording the next river during a flood and it would have been - Charles, I'm taking this wagon and I'm going back to the Big Woods and you can drown your own self.
But then I have nightmares about driving off bridges into water so maybe Caroline and I have different damage.

also, on a very basic level, woods vs prairie? woods win every time.

and then their dog was swept downstream? pa! you can't fiddle your way out of that one.
