Sometimes i wonder how much of it (for me) is mental - i seem to need to "get my head around it" before i can. Other times, of course, it is energy.<br /><br />Hi Lisa! :) I think for me it is being older, some, although i think when i was younger i didn't like plans messed with either. Maybe i've just got an "inflexible mind."<br /><br />Hi Rosemary - with a lot of time on my hands this week, i watched parts of <i>Little House</i> out of curiosity. I was never able to watch a full episode. I think the deviations from the book bothered me, but more, they had the characters doing, saying, acting things that the folks in real live would NEVER have done. Things that Laura made very clear were part of the person's personality/character were totally ignored in the show. The use of melodrama in that show bothers me.<br /><br />Amrita - hello! :) Home made bread is the best!<br /><br />It is hard to have such memories of childhood. I think we can forgive and heal from those scars, but they still effect us, and that isn't easy.<br /><br />Hi Mr. Geezer! Ron. We do so appreciate being able to live here. You should make another trip to Big Bear soon! :) Make new memories.<br /><br />Hi Dani, thanks for coming by. Part of the reason i started following you is that we have family in Menifee. <br /><br />I can see how folks would consider the Waltons sappy, and sometimes the story lines are a bit too much for me, but i have never found it to be sappy in the way i find <i>Little House</i> (TV) to be. I wish he had just done a pioneer show and left the books alone. It says "based on" those books, but only by the loosest connections and by using the same character names. <br /><br />I, too, love the books which i think is why i respond to the TV show so strongly.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-77950236128650734362011-04-02T14:29:32.831-07:002011-04-02T14:29:32.831-07:00Thanks for the comment on my blog...I love Big Bea...Thanks for the comment on my blog...I love Big Bear and we can see it from our house down in the valley....my aunt and uncle used to live in Crestline years ago.....<br />not a big fan of the Waltons as I always thought it was a little too sappy for me...LOL but I know alot of people did like it...Little House was good at the beginning but later got off track ...Big fan of the Little House books...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-67885939439370315102011-04-01T17:35:57.818-07:002011-04-01T17:35:57.818-07:00That second photo is absolutely fantastic looking!...That second photo is absolutely fantastic looking!

I don 't like refined flour.<br /><br />Your mountains look fantstic - and oh my tha t igloo - Duane made a good one. He must have frozen in it - could he sleep in it?<br /><br />I don 'T have many hapy memories of childhood. Similar feelings like yours - my sister felt very loved and valued - not me - all that was augmented by my handicaps of course. I had to struggle very hard - the scars are still there and I fight against them.<br />Parents are good but not right at times Kathryn.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887884977787790642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-40391219084992041882011-03-30T19:08:26.630-07:002011-03-30T19:08:26.630-07:00Oh, such an interesting post.

Love the photos.<br /><br />Hmmm...I didn't know that the Waltons were filmed so close to you. I loved that show too and I loved that it was a big, happy family that despite having nothing cared so much for one another.<br /><br />I liked Little House but some of the episodes made me cringe even then as a child, because they deviated from the books so much.<br /><br />Love reading your posts - I hope you have the energy for the kids, I know you will try so hard.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14721780347274988492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-21674050166177062212011-03-30T18:56:08.594-07:002011-03-30T18:56:08.594-07:00We used to watch the Waltons!and Little House on T...We used to watch the Waltons!and Little House on The Prairie!

People just don't seem to understand that I can't just decide I have the energy to go on an outing, etc. <br /><br />I don't really remember shows or much else from my childhood. I blocked a lot of it out of my memory. <br /><br />I'm glad you are having fun with the kids. They are blessed to have you and Duane invest in their lives.Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627658822705830258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-91430039760934855822011-03-30T10:37:43.588-07:002011-03-30T10:37:43.588-07:00Radha - YES! :)Radha - YES! :)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-40437458952893750282011-03-30T10:34:59.791-07:002011-03-30T10:34:59.791-07:00Thanks for the pictures.
