It is best to be honest and truthful, to make the most of what we have, to be happy with simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
LIW
Making the best of things - a damn poor way of dealing with them. My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand.

don't just celebrate: spread the word!
Today is Laura Ingalls Wilder's birthday. Along with all the weasels popped and bread gingered today, remember to go outside your own sphere of family and friends and spread the "Little House" word to someone new!
Buy one or more of the LH books for a classroom teacher, local library, doctor's office, or child-of-a-friend. Share your love of Laura by volunteering to read aloud or do a LIW presentation. Turn some of the LH books to the "front" of the display in the bookstore and alert the staff what today is. Wear your LH sweatshirt and see what happens. Pick your favorite LIW heritage homesite or museum and send them a donation this month.
Use your imagination, child!
