Did you Melissa Gilbert, the original Laura, is playing “Ma” in LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE The Musical? I remember watching her as the freckly faced Laura Ingall in the television series. It will be interesting to see Melissa Gilbert all grown up taking on this new role. The show will be in Tempe Dec. 8-13, 2009 at the ASU Gammage. I can't wait to see it!
Little House on the Prairie has always been one of my family’s favorite stories. When I was younger I lived in Kansas just like Laura. I would beg my mom to check out all Laura Ingalls Wilder books from the library, and when the TV show was on my mom and I would sit and watch together. It was our special time.
This map shows the distance from my old house to Laura's Home town (Independence, KS)
I always identified with Laura because we both moved alot. She moved from settlement to settlement, and I moved from Army base to Army base. Moving was never easy for Laura, and it was definitely not easy for me. But just like Laura I had my family to get me through.
Eighteen years ago, I started reading the books and watching the TV show. Now I am a college student at Arizona State University. I hadn’t thought of Little House for awhile when one I heard that LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE The Musical was coming to Tempe.( Needless to say my inner child leaped for joy!) I decided that I might not be the only one who loved these stories when I was younger, and maybe if I were to Blog about my favorite memories fellow fans would share their memories as well.
Tell me about your favorite books, favorite episodes, favorite “Ma” recipes etc. I hope this blog helps you remember all the fun that Little House brings.
