Did you know you could find me here?

I’ve recently been surprised by finding some people I knew on one social media network on another. I don’t think we always do a great job letting people know where all we are. So here’s a current rundown.

April Update

I’m trying  a new feature. I’m going to do a quick 15 minute update of what Laura events are coming up in the next month. Let me know if you enjoy it or find it helpful. I’m not sure, but thought I’d give it a try.

What’s missing from the gap is that I don’t approve everybody who requests on Facebook, but I do approve Laura fans, please put in a note so I realize that’s why you’re asking.

Take a Bite Out of History

Baking at Ushers Ferry

My radio show’s, Trundlebed Tales Radio, primary focus is Laura Ingalls Wilder. However, I think understanding Laura requires understanding things she knew and experienced in her life. You start researching Laura and then you want a Laura dress, you want to make the stuff she and Ma made, and each step you take along Laura fandom draws you deeper into wanting to know more about life in the 19th century. So from time to time the show will do a special episode where we look at food history and it’s current practice.

My first historic foodways episode will air Sunday, April 3, 2011 6 PM ET, 5 PM CT, 4 PM MT and 3 PM PT. Take a Bite Out of History: Biscuits will feature the same basic information I used when doing the “prairie meal” section of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Patch at Ushers Ferry.

Call in and listen or talk at:  (714) 242-5253 or toll free 1-877-633-9389

I’m still experimenting with what times bring in the largest live audience. So far week night seem to do better, but I’m giving the weekend another chance. Hopefully soon I’ll settle on a regular broadcast pattern although it might be interrupted depending on when interviewees are available.

New Program Added: What a Doll!

Laura and Mary Dolls on Display in Pepin Museum

Laura Ingalls Wilder: What a DOLL!

Once we review the basic information about Laura Ingalls Wilder’s life, we examine through photos the history of the different dolls created in the likeness of Laura Ingalls Wilder or created as souvenirs. Which dolls do you need for your collection. Sarah appears in a costume matching the only Laura doll so far created as “old” Laura and brings that doll along in person.  (NOTE: This program works best as a PowerPoint.)

This is a program I first put on for the Bussey Doll Event in Mt. Pleasant. I have extended it since then and learned a lot more about Laura dolls.

http://trundlebedtales.wordpress.com/2008/07/11/bussey-wilder-dolls

The program includes everything from the hickory nut head dolls sold by Mansfield in the 1960s to the Ingalls family of dolls by Ashton Drake to the dolls made and sold in Walnut Grove. Plus a look at the Charlotte dolls.
