My favorite books as a child; finally got my 9 year old granddaughter interested in them, and she also loves them!
I can’t believe it’s been that long. 1974!
But, my memory of that show has been spoiled, by Melissa...
A fine program. I always watched it when it was new, and still catch repeats from time to time.
It was filmed in Simi Valley, my friends and I rode our Dirt Bikes and drove our 4 wheel drives all through those mountains, we used to go to the set all the time.
My friend has pics of 12 of us in the Saloon Drinking Beer at 1 AM with our 4 trucks out front and it is Snowing, a couple inches on the ground.
A great nation this used to be. Time to start over.
We drove by her house last weekend.

Michael Landon was on TV steady from 1959 to 1989
That is how fast immigration can change a culture.
Laura Ingalls Wilder lived only a couple of miles from here for around a year. There is still an Ingalls living at the same location.
My GGrandfather performed a wedding for two of the characters in the book.
Guess what? This is Florida not the prairie.
I recently watched the episodes where Mary goes blind. I was curious because it was a television milestone: it was the first time in television history where a major character becomes disabled and never recovers.
The episode dealt with the question of how God could allow such things to happen. In real life, after Mary went blind, Laura became her eyes and would describe everything to her as they travelled. Soon, she developed an amazing skill of at describing things. That skill helped her become an excellent author and millions have read the books and millions more have seen the show. And Mary had a good life and played organ in her church.
That was the last really decent family show produced for television. I did like The Waltons better, though. Little House degraded over time.
In my business travels I went to every place LIW lived. The most interesting was the cabin in SE Kansas. They lived for two years in Burr Oak, Iowa running a hotel of sorts. In one of the upstairs rooms the initials JJ are carved in the window sill. They say Jesse James stayed there on his way up to the Northfield, MN bank robbery.
Did Nancy Pelosi descend from that store keeper’s daughter?
White Privilege!
