Little House

So, now it's the steamy time of year, a fine time to be heading down the road.  And where to? To visit the earnest replica of the log house,  built by Charles Ingalls, back when U.S. Grant was the U.S. president. Wanna go sometime? Wanna read more about it?  www.littlehouseontheprairie.com 

It took me about 4 hours to cover the 200 miles or so between Independence, MO & Independence, KS. Windows UP. Cool air blasting.  I'll not blather about the obvious differences between my junket and the Ingalls family's migrations. No need. Complicated though it is, modern life sure as heck has its compensations.  Is there more to say about this day?  Oh, very much more, but not now....
