A recording on what's going on in Laura Ingalls Wilder fandom during April. Here's the list.

Every year on or close to Laura Ingalls Wilder's birthday I throw an online party. This year I was in Disneyland on February 7th so I couldn't do it. I normally have an opportunity for people to call in and share their Laura stories. The technology is different on my new platform, but I hope to have people sharing their stories next year. This year I shared my Laura and "Little House" stories. I hope you enjoy it and that you'll start thinking about stories you can share next year.
