I do love getting into reading mode sometimes.

Kinda wish I could sit on an old farm and read (or skim) Laura Ingalls Wilder's favorite book by her daughter.  Fom the School of Theology at Claremont!

I don't expect to be very inspired, but I might be stimulated. Sometimes Rose Wilder Lane and her mother, Laura Ingalls Wilder, were not very empathetic towards others. Very hypocritical, as well. But it's still interesting to see how they responded to their circumstances and I think it's possible to see why they made some of their choices, even if you find them disappointing. 

I'm glad I have been able to listen to the "Prairie Fires" book!


They went through a lot. I still find their politics to be a real drag, and I think I would have preferred Eleanor Roosevelt. Nevertheless, I feel the need to pursue this line of inquiry.
