Welcome to the Wilder on the Prairie podcast, the only podcast where we talk about all things Laura Ingalls Wilder, and we do that one little housebook at a time.
Amy KontorHOST
My name is Amy Contour.

I'm an author, editor, Laura fangirl, road tripper, MA, and coffee and nacho fanatic.
Amy KontorHOST
Hello, hello, and welcome to the Wilder on the Prairie podcast.

This is episode 202, chapter 3 of these happy golden years, one week.
Amy KontorHOST
As she went trudging through the snow, Laura had made herself feel cheerful.
Amy KontorHOST
Two brown horses swiftly passed the window.
Melissa MooreHOST

Jared WilsonHOST
So if we step back and we have this broader view as to what preparedness is and not fixate on these small specific things, but rather living life old school.
Jared WilsonHOST
I mean, think Laura Ingalls.
Jared WilsonHOST
Yes, you're not going to have your creature comforts.
Jared WilsonHOST

JenHOST
I would actually give this one three bonnets because it was entertaining.
JenHOST
It was entertaining and it was very thought provoking, but it wasn't based on anything from the Laura Ingalls Wilder books.
JenHOST
And it wasn't based on a specific historical event.
JenHOST
It was just a generic event thing.
Melanie YoungHOST
They need to understand that money is a voucher for work, that money represents work.
Hal YoungHOST
Well, okay, my favorite illustration of that is from Laura Ingalls Wilder's book, Farmer Boy, where she talks about, yes, where she talks about her future husband, Almanzo, thank you, and a lesson his father gave him that basically explained to him that the money that he was holding in his hand represented a bunch of different tasks that he had done on the farm.
Melanie YoungHOST
Yes, he wanted money to spend on lemonade.
Melanie YoungHOST
His dad gave him money.
Jody EberlyGUEST
It was Gaiman's.
Jody EberlyGUEST
And it was kind of what you would think of as like Laura Ingalls Wilder, the mercantile there with the Olsens.
Jody EberlyGUEST
And then it became Buckwaters, which was my great-grandfather's.
Jody EberlyGUEST
And I'm not sure how he... got it from them but I guess he just decided to purchase a grocery store all those years ago I didn't actually know him he died before I was born and then my grandfather bought it and that's what I really remember I can't remember back as far as time three but how it became a grocery store probably the town needed one

Alison ArngrimHOST
But the first voice you hear, set in the tone when this whole thing starts, boom, there's the voice and it's Laura.
Alison ArngrimHOST
And the very, very next thing you see is Michael Landon.
Alison ArngrimHOST
First voice you hear is Melissa Gilbert.
Alison ArngrimHOST
It's a little dark.
Alison ArngrimHOST
And I'm like, mm-hmm.
Alison ArngrimHOST
And like I said, it's all about Laura and Pa. It's just in your face.
Pamela BobHOST
You know what else I really liked too is that, this sounds silly, but it's not silly.
AduHOST
I mean, I like the updates that they make to the overall...
AduHOST
Laura of Carrie, you know, we kind of all know the story at this point.
JDHOST
Yeah.
AduHOST
So we kind of know where what it's leading to.
Michael ThomasGUEST
It's 1891.
Michael ThomasGUEST
Like Laura Ingalls is, [chuckles] you know, like, like, like chopping wood with her family.
Michael ThomasGUEST
Like it's, it's, it's-
Jason SnyderHOST
Yeah
Julie HollyHOST
As I think a lot of people are grieving right now, the loss of innocence in a way, right? This, what we perceive as the simple days.
Julie HollyHOST
I think about Ma and Pa, you know, Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Julie HollyHOST
And, you know, I just, you think about, oh, that was such a simple time.
Julie HollyHOST
That was, you know, history was so simple back then.
