This year we have been renting the TV series. The girls really enjoy it.
Prior to that I have been rereading the books and find it really relaxing.

I just love "Little House" too!! I saw the DVD's at Costco the other day for over 26 episodes. I understand there are quite a few in all. I'm seriously considering getting the whole collection. I don't normally do something like this but, I have had such great enjoyment watching this show that I'd like to be abe to have it all...........and watch it whenever Iwant. I'm so sorry that Michael Landon passed away with cancer a few years back. No one ever picked up the ball and continued with his kind of series......not the way he did them. My other old favorite is......."The Waltons"............that one also transported me out of my day to day worries and into another more loving time period. Those two were truly very special shows.

I have been renting both, I don't really think you'd be sorry you bought them. The last two episodes I watched were really gripping.
They have little bits that are like the book as well.
The other day it was interesting watching Laura make an angelfood cake.
I didn't know Michael had died, the doctor died only a few weeks ago.
There is a new series of Little House that was on in America a few months back. Probably completely different.
With Little House and even the Waltons, it is like the books, I think it is nice to have your own sets. I am waiting for the episode with Ma's red shawl, apparently people who crochet like to make them.

I saw one a day or two ago where a wind storm comes and takes their crop. Charles wants to go home to Wisconsin and sells the farm to an old couple who owned it before. In the end on settlement day they both change their minds.
It is similar to the real story "On The Banks Of Plum Creek" when the grasshoppers eat the crops three years in a row I think. In Laura's books they left Plum Creek for Silver Lake in Dakota in the end. Nellie came to live there too!!
