Either day will be good to attend. I'll do a post later this week or next with the link in it as well-on my blog and the museum blog.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725324685109415066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-19596261344731827852010-07-26T12:30:45.897-04:002010-07-26T12:30:45.897-04:00Christine,

It was so crazy thinking about Ma reading aloud from the book I was holding or Carrie doing that school work and then walking home through a blizzard.

To actually be able to touch and hold something that Pa Ingalls did or that Laura wrote - that any of the family has in their possession - what a wonderful experience!!!!!<br />It just feels so very important, doesn't it? Being able to have contact with something that they had contact with, it just makes everything seem so much more real and personal.<br />I can't wait for Laura Days!!!!!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384766234421656669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-86683977800795451122010-07-21T08:59:51.027-04:002010-07-21T08:59:51.027-04:00Wow!

I could never understand (with my modern perspective) why PA didn't put him in the wagon for that crossing. <br /><br />Jill-Welcome! I hope you'll comment more often! It's nice to meet you!

Was so envious of your visit last year to the homestead and I'm trying to convince my daughter to go with me. (she's 24 now-liked the books, but doesn't love the history like I do)<br /><br />Just want to say that I enjoy your writing!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02675665483222702165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-67737011254878272452010-07-21T08:48:06.491-04:002010-07-21T08:48:06.491-04:00The jealousy is just dripping from my fingers as I...The jealousy is just dripping from my fingers as I type. That is so amazing- thank for sharing the link, I've always wanted to see Ma & Pa's pictures. <br /><br />I also read all the books when I was young- many, many times- and I still know that Laura is a part of who I am. I still remember the terror of Pa's ride with the bobcat and the sadness of Jack's dissappearance and the joy of pig bladder balloons. <br /><br />What a blessing to hold that history in your hands!Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401805576403459388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-47396158938329194882010-07-21T07:31:07.121-04:002010-07-21T07:31:07.121-04:00How very cool and exciting for you!!!!How very cool and exciting for you!!!!lianna26https://www.blogger.com/profile/07866907634557754553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-7692603338941622622010-07-21T04:17:34.383-04:002010-07-21T04:17:34.383-04:00That is so cool!
