I have always been the one person (it seemed) who had read the books many times over and who knew the tv show had next to nothing to do with LIW. (I was so smug, though I still watched it faithfully...hmmm.) I spent a week in MN and SD about ten years ago visiting some sites and haven't had a chance to return yet. I look forward to seeing them all. And I still have the bonnet I asked my mother to make for me when I was 10. I treasure it. I just wanted to say thanks, as I love and appreciate all the great things you all have written so far (I have much to read). It makes me want to reread the series again soon (it's been about 3 years I last did). I'll be back! I just found your site today and am so glad I did!

Wish I knew who. I’m not sure how you escaped knowing that, Sara! :) Apparently Grandpa Harvey’s sister Stella was nursed through her final illness by another Laura cousin, too. Wish I knew who.

Ruby Martin was her cousin? How did I not know this and am your cousin? I make her pie crusts, but didn't know that? Holy, cow, Cuz! Otherwise, I am so glad for you that this site is live, I'll be checking it out. I, too, read all the women's biographies possible...We are living Extraordinary lives..... Hold it.

That is amazing that your grandmother was a good friend of some of the Ingalls' family and you visited in the home of Laura's cousin, when you were very young. When we're little we tend to think Laura stayed little too. It's amazing how our interests change as we grow up and we wish we could go back and ask more questions. But you have a very lovely remembrance and I thank you for sharing it Amy. Your personal story was most extraordinary Amy.
