My favourite thing about Rose is that she has those little sayings such as "Girls who say gosh, golly and darn will end up living in a barn!" and "Girls who skip breakfast as a matter of coarse will end up marrying a horse!" so I thought it'd be fun to have a thread where we make our own sayings  Here's one against staying up late "Girls who don't go to bed and stay up late, will remain unmarried til age eighty-eight!" I realise these are slightly sexist, but then, Rose is from the forties and this is just a bit of fun, no offense or seriousness intended, so, let's see what you can think of  |

I like all those little Rose sayings too. I need to watch those episodes again to catch some of them.
Here's one that Caroline Ingalls said to her daughter Laura when she planned to wear a black dress at her wedding. This was not on the TV show, but in the book, These Happy Golden Years.
"Married in black, you'll wish yourself back."

People who don't go early to bed wake up in the morning light in the head. Girls who don't eat everything on their plate end up on the weekend without a date. |

That was a very long buggy ride from Wisconsin in those days and then they had to go all the way back to Minnesota and Walnut Grove. |

I watched the first Little House episode yesterday and I didn't realize they started out in Kansas? That was a very long buggy ride from Wisconsin in those days and then they had to go all the way back to Minnesota and Walnut Grove. According to the Little House books, which are slightly different from what happened to the Ingalls family in real life, they did start in Wisconsin, moved to Kansas, then moved to Minnesota, and finally to South Dakota. In real life, they did start out in Wisconsin, moved to Kansas (where Carrie was born), moved back to Wisconsin, then moved to Walnut Grove, MN. They then moved to Burr Oak, Iowa, for about a year, then they returned to Walnut Grove. Finally, they moved to South Dakota where they homesteaded for awhile. Charles Ingalls finally built a house in the town of DeSmet, SD, and that's where he, Caroline, and Mary lived for the rest of their lives. Mary was never married. Laura, Almanzo, and their daughter Rose eventually moved to Mansfield, MO. Carrie and Grace were both married, but neither had children (Carrie had 2 stepchildren). Laura and Almanzo had an infant son who died, then they had no more children. Their daughter Rose never married or had children, so unfortunately there are no direct descendents of Charles and Caroline Ingalls.  Probably much more than you ever wanted to know. |

Interesting Brenda. I never read the book, but I watched the show some then and now but the Walton's was always my favorite because it was my grandparents who were alive and I knew. We didn't know any of our relatives probably from the 1860s or 1870s unless they're one of our older readers. And I liked the Walton's scenery. But thanks for the back info on Little House Have a good day Brenda WmFan
