Yes, I pretty much still remember those books word for word.

@Hanna, it warms the cockles of my heart to hear that a woman your age loves those books. It seems that most young women weren’t interested in them. I know I couldn’t get my own daughters to read them, which broke my heart. I think I have read every one of those books at least ten times or more.

Last year, we lost power during an ice storm in Dallas. Our bedroom was 49 degrees, but as a loyal Laura Ingalls Wilder reader, I knew when we went to bed, we’d be okay as long as we piled on the blankets. I was telling my MIL about how warm and cozy it was under all those linens even in spite of the cold, and DH chimed in, “yeah, yeah, we know, it’s all fine, Laura and Mary would wake up with frost on the top of their quilts, but they were were warm and snug underneath the blankets just the same! Who needs central heat when you’ve got a bunch of quilts and a baked potato in your pocket!” Lol.
