I have been coming to this prairie for a few years now, don't know just how many because I started at the previous forum. Carol invited me to come over here from Prairie Talk and in turn I have invited a few people from there to here too. I love this site, the people are wonderful and it's so much fun to talk to other LHOP and LIW fans.
I live about an hour north of Toronto, ON Canada. I am 42, single and work at a coffee shop. I have 2 brothers, 5 nephews and one more little nephew or neice coming in another 7 weeks or so.
I am addicted to all things Laura. I have over 100 books in my personal library either written by Laura or about her and her family. I am a personal friend of a relative of Laura, whom I am planning to visit one month from now. Together we are seeing some LIW sites along with a small group of friends.

Larry and I take great pride in knowing that we've inspired many people to become proctologists.

That's wonderful, Jaccob! I love to see how God shows himself in different ways through all people!

I wish you didn't live so far away, Marilyn! I'd love to visit with you and look through your books! I love all things Laura, too. I'm so thankful to the Lord for the 18 months I lived in South Dakota. It meant so much to me to experience the prairie wind and the smells that Laura experienced.

My name is Misti and I think I've been around since about 1998. I think I came aboard shortly after Rhonda did. I think I've been thru transition to this current board from the old one.

I remember well I was having computer problems and couldn't get on the board (the old board) to chat, only the backup one (which turned out to be this one). Rhonda & Carol were my lifelines to the old board and I still am thankful for that.

Anyway, I'm 41 years old and I live in southeast Texas. I've been married 17 years to hubby, David, and we have two boys, Damis Lynn is 16 yrs. and Shiloh Aaron is 10 yrs.

We have two dogs, Lucky and Annie and a cat, Runt.

I got a 2 yr. certificate in 1991 for clerk-typist/word processing, but it was set aside since I was pregnant at the time.

So now, I've been working since 2003 at my local newspaper, the (and I'm not making this up!) Cow Country Courier. I do the typing, typesetting, putting the papers on the streets and the mailings.

Myself, David and now Damis are active in the local fire dept. (I'm the secretary/treasurer & David is the fire marshal & training officer and a firefighter. Damis is a firefighter, too.), Shiloh is in 4-H. We live on 1 1/4 acres in the country & we do normal "country" things; gardening, etc. Oh, the tomatoes are finally ripe!!! On the side, we mow lawns for people to make some extra money.

It would be fun to live closer to a lot of the people on this forum.
I envy you Holly, you've been to/lived in SD. I hope to go there maybe next summer with my friend Beth. We're thinking about it, don't know if it will happen. Time will tell.

Thanks for sharing, Misti!

One more for the all boys' team!

I lived in SE Texas (Vidor) for 11 years. It was quite an adjustment for this rainy Washington girl! Well, actually, I never did adjust, which is why I'm not their now!

Wow, it would be so much fun to work for a newspaper. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you... What a cute name!

Mooo! (Couldn't find a "cow" smiley!)

I hope you can go! Summer would be the time to go if you really want to experience the weather! The winds are so hot and so strong! It's almost unbelievable. I could hardly imagine Laura and Almanzo riding around in a buggy with their thick clothing. Winter is totally unpredictable. There could be a blizzard or you could be having lunch out on the deck in 70 degree weather! I loved it!

I could have spent all day in De Smet but I had a bored little boy with me so we didn't stay as long as I would have liked.

Pam! In yesterday's confusion, I missed your post!
Hey, have you noticed the age similarities of the women in this thread?
Rhonda and I are the only "older women". :idance:

So how are you managing your schooling? Do you go nights? Online?

:kitty:

"older women" ? Honey, I'm an antique!!!

or should it be?



I love getting older! But since my husband is 9 years older than me, I'll always be "the younger woman"!
