the one with nellie oleson

nellie oleson.  those two words bring up almost as many childhood memories as kraft mac n cheese.  what a little stinker.

maren and i just finished On the Banks of Plum Creek.  laura and the ingalls family have relocated to MN and contend with grasshoppers, crazy blizzards and long walks to school.

for me, this is the book where laura's personality starts to emerge.  i love her indignant, adventurous side.  the side that just hates nellie oleson.  and cries when her doll charlotte is taken away.

really makes me want to turn on the Hallmark Channel and watch a little house marathon.
that is, until some of the weird episodes start in.  clowns in walnut creek?  no thanks.

does anyone remember Nancy Oleson?  What was the story with her again?
