We were going to wait awhile longer and get everything situated before retrieving our pocket poochie but circumstances dictated we change our plans.
So... off Little Companion and I went.
From Harvey, ND we traveled southeast to Jamestown and on toward Fargo. We eventually got on I29 and headed south. Now as we were headed that way anyway, and I'm not always a get there and get er done type of gal...
we made a sharp left when we hit highway 14 and headed off toward...
Walnut Grove, MN.
While in Walnut Grove we were able to tour the little museum and grounds. We had a wonderful time seeing one of the towns Laura Ingalls Wilder grew up in and learn a little more about the author.
Caroline and Charles Ingalls
Now what do we have here?
Kind of looks like she belongs in a soap opera, the one where one gal would be the preacher, doctor, school teacher and, of course,
Most caring mother in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!
Okay, enough Little Companion, moving on ...
Laura Ingalls Wilder at age 17, very fun. It was quite a way off the beaten track but would recommend it if you are ever close to Walnut Grove.
Okay, had to but, honestly, you would have too!

I loved the books as a child and later the tv program. Such a fun stop and the pictures of LC are wonderful.
Hi Valerie.. Sorry I haven't paid a visit in so long. Just can't seem to keep up with all the blog hopping during these summer months when I'm outdoors so much. Glad you made it safely back from Alaska. How fun that you were able to take a trip to Walnut Grove. Little House was always my favorite TV show growing up and I must have read the books at least 20 times (had the whole boxed set that I got for Christmas one year), but the funny thing is, even though I live just hours away, I've never been to Walnut Grove. It's on my wish list of places to visit though someday. There and DeSmet SD as well.
I'll try not to go so long again before stopping by for another visit. Take care...
Kim
How fun for Little Companion AND you. Y'all go everywere!
