| Laura and Almanzo at their Stone House with their dog, Nero. In this picture, Laura is about 65 and Almanzo is about 75. Did you know that Laura Ingalls Wilder was only 4'11", and Almanzo was only5'4"! The counters in their home were therefore lower than usual to accommodate the couple's height. | |

| I've already seen it, but not in this big size and so clear...They were really short, then! Laura was lovely. She seemed a little doll, even when she was an old lady. She didn't remain long at the Stone HOuse, as soon as Rose returned to Connecticut, Laura and Almanzo move again to their old house. "We were homesick" - she explained. Vanesa. | |

| Walking through the stone house I didn't "feel" Laura there as I did in the house she and Almonzo built. Although, the lot it is on is beautiful! I'll have to find the pictures I took while there. Its such a fuzzy feeling to know you've stood where Laura has and looked at the same views . It is the lack of Christianity that has brought us where we are. Not a lack of churches or religious forms but of the real thing in our hearts. LIW.....Words From a Fearless Heart | |

Its such a fuzzy feeling to know you've stood where Laura has and looked at the same views . What a great experience, Gin...I think that the love we feel while we are living in thios world, always remains, and other persons can occasionnally feel it as well. What a great thing to being able to be in the same places where Laura lived, and see the same landscapes she saw every day! Vanesa. | |

| So happy for those of you who actually visited the stone house! Some day it'll be my turn, hopefully. :)
I'm wondering, has Laura ever written anything about how clothing styles changed from her childhood to adulthood? I know she had more exciting things to write about, but seeing her in a short-sleeve dress makes me go "wow", considering the long dresses and petticoats they wore in the 1880s. NancyFan aka Sue | |

| Laura Ingalls was a very modern woman, and she was very stylish too. She wrote a lot of article et the "Missouri Ruralist" about how things were changing from her childhood to adulthood, but I don't know if she ever wrote about clothes...Anyone? Vanesa. | |
