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.

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.

light for weary wanderers
It was unexpected in April - blizzard winds and two feet of snow. Both Highway 14 and Interstate 29 were closed.
Seeing the Surveyors' House in all that snow, it was easy to imagine the Ingalls family so long ago, sitting cosy and warm inside, a light in the window and Pa playing his fiddle while the wind howled.
