During the holidays relatives would come from afar, which was also a real treat because there were no neighbors who lived near them.

Little house in the big woods is the first book by Laura Ingalls (Wilder) that showed her life as a child in the big woods of Wisconsin. Though her family and she faced many hard times they also had many good times. I highly recommend this book to all

In 1983, I was traveling with a tiny theater company doing vaudeville-type shows in community centers and bars—anywhere we could earn $25 each plus enough gas money to get to the next small town in our ramshackle yellow bus.

After the show, well-wishers and stagehands milled behind the curtain.
