Can I tell you how many times I went as Laura for Halloween in the 70's (far more times than was really appropriate!). Last summer I read <BR/>The Laura Ingalls Wilder Country Cookbook (with the farmhouse on the cover). So fun- great photos of the interior (I loved the kitchen). I just couldn't get over how much food they ate- especially breakfast. Farm work must be great for the metabolism.<BR/>Thanks for sharing.<BR/>LLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640390537671554150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-79353520856428370612008-06-03T12:04:00.000-05:002008-06-03T12:04:00.000-05:00We visited the Ingalls homestead in DeSmet, SD las...We visited the Ingalls homestead in DeSmet, SD last year as my daughter was running the state track meet in nearby Watertown (we live in SD) It was well worth the trip and we camped out right on the homestead. I was in heaven waking up to the same sounds that must have awoken Laura and the family so long ago. Like Mrs. h, I was in tears the whole time we were there.<BR/><BR/>The really fun part was, because we were camping on the homestead, they left the exhibits open until about 10pm so my kids could play in them. They had a ball doing "pretend" laundry and playing little house IN the actual little house. Yep, pure heaven.ellemenopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586834595488130625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-36946042143854851302008-06-03T10:33:00.001-05:002008-06-03T10:33:00.001-05:00Thank you for sharing this:).
