I don't remember much of it as it was read aloud to me by mom at bedtime. All I remember is being mesmerized by her voice as I struggled to stay awake.Shaundrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023714565523126335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492644745713004478.post-62436986088176798992013-01-21T04:10:39.380-08:002013-01-21T04:10:39.380-08:00Thank you all.

It was a pleasant day that included a (pan)cake, time with family, and a nap.<br /><br />It's -15 this early a.m. with a wind chill advisory on until tomorrow noon, but the woods are lovely dark and deep and the cabin is cozy and warm.<br /><br />You stay warm too by carrying your hot potato lunch under your buffalo robe in the sleigh or just by hunkering down indoors if you don't have to go anywhere on MLK day. This is a very good day for the postal carriers to have off. Even if it means the many expected birthday greetings will be a day late we're glad some fingers might be saved from frostbite.next door Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146289021181568035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492644745713004478.post-71573834541037512112013-01-20T11:35:37.358-08:002013-01-20T11:35:37.358-08:00Very Timely NDL, I'm reading the series right...Very Timely NDL, I'm reading the series right now to my curly-headed girl of the big woods. Amazed at how LIW described everything with such compelling detail. If there's one survival guide I have to take with me when I'm forced into homesteading, it's going to be Little House on the Prairie.<br /><br />Happy Birthday from the little prairie on the other side of the big woods.Joanna K.

These illustrations are some of my favorites too.<br /><br />I admit, some days in January and February I do think about the people who first settled here and how crazy they must have been to stick in out without central heating, rather than heading straight south. I think that's what I might have done.....Lauralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368943744362465099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492644745713004478.post-8343663292800111972013-01-20T06:12:51.194-08:002013-01-20T06:12:51.194-08:00Happy birthday Laura!

You <br />missed out on the coolest scene of the city being showered with nature's own white Dippin'Dots. Maybe they spewed all over the piney woods as well. In any event, hunker down up there and have a Happy Birthday!Honeybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11735058942127568440noreply@blogger.com
