Kara and Kate: The New Laura and Nellie
Do you ever feel like your phone lines are tapped?
The other day, Sandra and I were discussing the upcoming interview of Kara Lindsay and Kevin Massey for The Homesteader, and I commented that in all of the stories I’ve seen in the media on Little House on the Prairie: The Musical, only Melissa Gilbert gets
