Trundlebed Tales

We start out 2026 with a rundown of what's going on in Laura Ingalls Wilder fandom during January. We'll go through all the Laura birthdays and anniversaries in January. Then check in on Burr Oak, Iowa; Malone, New York, and Walnut Grove, Minnesota.

We're picking up 2 more stories from Mother West Wind's Children by Thornton W. Burgess. Today we are reading "The Disappointed Bush" and "Why Bobby Raccoon Washes His Food."

What's going on with Laura Ingalls Wilder fandom during April 2025. Now this month's update is a little late, but I'm trying to make sure things are updating properly. 

My friend Kelly and I visited Kansas City, MO. We were visiting 3 of the many museums in Kansas City, MO. We visited the new children's museum about the picture book The Rabbit Hole, the living history site Shawntee Town 1929, and Disney 100 Exhibit at Union Station.

Since we have to change systems since Blog Talk Radio is shutting down. This episode explains about the switch.  Hopefully we'll get going with full episodes again soon. 

This month I have a couple of presentations this month. We've got events in Walnut Grove, MN; Mansfield, MO; and with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association. Plus, we have a new book on Rose Wilder Lane. 

October is also an unusually busy month with things happening not only in events, but in the news. Find 2 events at Malone that just recently popped up, information about a TV show documentary, word on an on-going display, tours in Simi Valley, and a class at the Newberry.
