I have a confession to make....

I'm 35 yo, and still love to read the Little House on the Prairie books!!

I'm fascinated by "covered wagon" history....which led me to pursue my interest in canning/preserving..... and I'm constantly looking on the 'net for info......

I loved that show growing up. I named my cat Half-pint after Laura in the second grade. lol

Yeah, me too.........although I like the books better.....plus researching the "true" story via the Internet, etc.....

I watched way too many of those episodes. Cripes, I remember one year they ran 3 episodes in a row between all the cable channels we had. No wonder I was a chubby kid. The books (& the original episodes) were good. After a while, I'm afraid Michael Landon got the story lines just a little too sappy to deal w/.

That's perfectly acceptable! If they were at my my house instead of my mom's I'd probably ready them too. I loved those books growing up. I can't tell you how many times I've read them-- and since I live in MN I think of them often when I'm by a place from the books (like Lake Peppin).

That is so cool that you live by there!! It's neat to know that these places really exist......

I'm 26 and I read the entire series at least once every 6 months!!! I love those books, my husband gives me a lot of shit for it but I tell him at least I can read

Lake Peppin is beautiful...and when I see it I always think I'm a total dork for thinking about Laura taking the rocks out of it. lol

I hope I have a little girl someday and I can read them to her. There are so many books I'd love to read to my future kids!

My husband caught me last nite finishing "Little House in the Big Woods" He's like "Are you reading Little House??????" LOL

Is Lake Pepin in Wisconsin or between Wisconsin & Minnesota?

don't feel like a dork -- I would think the same things...... Plus Amazon.com has all sorts of books about her -- I may have to buy a few.......

I found out too, researching that LH in the Big Woods actually was their 2nd time living there & LH on the Prairie happened before the Big Woods book & was written thru the memories of Ma, Pa & Mary as Laura was only about 1 during that time.....
