Some Things Never Change: Part 1
When I was a little girl I wanted to be Laura Ingall's Wilder. I read each and every book in the "Little House on the Prairie" series. Oh.... I loved to read.
I could spend hours curled up with a book. And "Little House" were among my favorites.
I remember I had this bonnet. There's a picture here somewhere..... and I wanted nothing more than a simple life. I loved the idea of calling my daddy "pa" (which I never did, because he would have thought that was weird) and I would put on these simple dresses. I cried when Mary went blind. I used to get so mad at Nelly. I would make these little beds out of pillows and blankets in the corner of my room, and read under a night-light.
I can attribute my near-sightedness and need to wear glasses by age 14 on little Laura Ingalls. Little Laura- how I stared at the pages of your life for hours on end. My first American Idol.
