Little House on the Prairie

On the Banks of Plum Creek

Now the Christmas is coming the ads have started. How different the Ingall's Christmas were. Can you imagine a child today being happy because they got 6 pieces of candy. Or canned oysters.

They had so little, but the appreciated it more.

Little House on the Prairie

By the Shores of Silver Lake

It annoyed me in the TV series how Laura dreamed of being a teacher, how she couldn't wait to be a teacher and how she loved it.

Being a teacher was Mary's dream. Now that Mary has gone blind Laura is expected to be a teacher. Ma had been a teacher and she wants one of a daughters to be one. Laura feels she must grow up to teach for her mother and for Mary. When the Ingalls learn of a Blind College in Iowa, Laura becomes to become a teacher so she can help Mary go to school. Laura dreads it but feels she has to. What else can she do?

Little House on the Prairie

The Long Winter

Having only gone winter camping once I can only imagine how hard that winter was. Going months without ever really being warm.

I had forgotten what a rough life Laura had.

Garden Spells

I really enjoyed this book. It was cute and fun. Claire learns to overcome her fears. I like how the tree helps take care of Sydney's ex.
