which are the real ones after all.”
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
Happy
Birthday, Laura Ingalls Wilder!
Wow – 147 and still running through the prairie with bonnet and braids a-flyin’.
In honor of
one of my favorite children’s authors, let’s take some time out to celebrate
sweet and simple things like…
Maple syrup
Calico
Good dogs
Cornbread
And the
fact that Laura didn't have Facebook.
Otherwise,
I’m pretty sure that The Long Winter would have never made it into print.
Instead, it
would have looked a lot more like this –

My Heavens, such language!
Hand over the smartphone, Young Lady – you are GROUNDED!
PROMPT: Get a
little Wilder today! Write about those sweet and simple things, or if you
prefer – the sometimes sour and super-complicated world of social media.
Ha! You are so funny! Great, motivating words! My new goal - less social media, more writing! Laura has been a lifelong inspiration, both as a writer and as one tough pioneer.
ReplyDeleteIf this means more wonderful words from Faith, then my work here is done. Have a marvelous day with those half-pints of yours -- I can't wait to see your next amazing project!
DeleteI can't stop laughing! I'm going to eat some real maple syrup and go a little Wilder.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is just the start of a day full of belly laughs. Go wild like a blister in the sun, Sister!
DeleteThis is sooo funny.
ReplyDeleteAs always -- thanks, little b! :-)
