"We finally had a week with no rain. It's week 13 and we are moving forward."

Rhonda, where is the house in relation to this picture? Is it in front of the house by the road or to the side? Just curious.

Marilyn, the picture is taken from Laura's front lawn....This picture is from week 2 of construction, looking from where the museum is being built, back towards Laura's house. Click here--->   Construction begins on new Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum

Awesome, thanks Rhonda. That is where I pictured that it would be.
I heard that Laurapalooza 2017 is tentavally scheduled to happen in Springfield MO. It will be a special conference to celebrate Laura's 150th birthday. Hopefully I will be there and maybe we can meet somewhere. You might consider coming to Laurapalooza too, it's awesome.
I missed this year because of the added expenses of living on my own but I really want to to to the next one. Hope you can too.

If I am still living in this area, it would be great to meet up.....

"The weather has been perfect here this week. The roof is getting finished.  Everyday we can hear hammering from Laura's front porch. We are at week 18, can't wait until the museum is finished."

Very nice!

"I have 2 views of our new museum this week. Since we are at week 19, I thought a front view might give everybody a sense of how big it's going to be."

Looking better every week!
