My previous web site/blog was devoted to the life and works of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the “Little House” books. Welcome to the visitors directed here from my dakotagirl.com web site. I will still devote space here to Laura and her daughter Rose Wilder Lane. I am very fond of the books and writings of both Wilder and Lane, but the three of us also share very similar political beliefs, and that is conservatism.
With the presidency of Obama and the truly wreckless spending of his administration, my conservative beliefs have intensified and I will be blogging about my thoughts on the political situation here in the US.
Amateur radio is another of my passions. I have had my amateur license for over 25 years and enjoy the hobby with a number of great friends in my community. Look for posts about the various radio contests I am in through out the year and other items of interest.
Since the beginning of my obsession with Laura Ingalls Wilder in the 1990s, I have become greatly attached to the mid-western part of the US, particularly the states of Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The people there are super and I have always felt at home and made welcome. I grew up in the southern part of the US and never thought southerners would have much in common with people in the midwest. Yes, there are cultural and culinary differences, but both are hard working and care about family and friends. Look for posts from these states as well, including political happenings, agriculture and other topics.
