oldie but goodie

My first trip to the Laura Ingalls Wilder home in Mansfield, Missouri, with the "Prodigy Computer Club" made pages 1 and 2 of the Mansfield Mirror back in 1993. I'm not sure if all the other ladies want their names out there, but tough luck about the photo. I'm seated at right in front. Wow. I think I still have that watch and it's almost back in style again!

That was the trip Neta Seal let me fondle Laura's blue willow-ware dishes and she read us an original poem Laura wrote in one of her "Little House on the Prairie" books (that set is in the archives of the Rocky Ridge museum now). And Neta told us how to make Almanzo's favorite "swiss steak," a recipe that was later included in the Laura Ingalls Wilder Country Cookbook.
