Laura Ingalls Wild Girl


When Ian and Anna started reading the Little House series last year sometime, Lewis thought the title of this post was the name of the author. Now he knows better, but we all still like using the new nickname he gave Laura

We took our show on the road to Kansas City last weekend for Uncle Curry and Aunt Dot's fiftieth wedding anniversary, and en route we stopped for a tour of the Wilder home in Mansfield, Missouri. We also took the oppoortunity to pick up a new set of Little House books to replace the set from my childhood which could not survive another reading.

It was a weekend full of history in one form or another, and we enjoyed celebrating it all, though we were disappointed to have to leave the anniversary party before the honorees started showing their stuff on the dance floor. Guess we'll have to teach our children about the jitterbug some other time.
