We’re back with the bittersweet conclusion to “Remember Me” where Pa struggles to find a home for all three Sanderson children, Laura struggles to find a home for the third puppy, and Mr. Edwards struggles to find the courage to open his heart to love again. Viewers are also delightfully treated with an introduction to another of Harriet’s wealthy and impeccably dressed family members, Miss Minerva Farnsworth.
In addition, Marissa poses an ethical quandary to Amy, and Julie asks an interesting question to our male listener (listeners?) about facial hair. Waste Time With These Links:CryabilityMore Photos...

Welcome to Season 2! This week, Hansen’s Mill is forced to close due to some unforeseen circumstances leaving the Ingalls family in debt to the Mercantile and on Harriet’s bad side. The whole family manages to rally together to earn enough money while keeping the family farm up and running so that they can clear their debt and purchase caffeine and sugar until the mill reopens.
In addition, we talk about various lighthearted subjects like murdering spouses, poverty, what we ate when we were broke, and the kindness of strangers/friends/co-workers during our lean times. Waste Time with these Links

Bundle up, because this week we weave a tale of the Ingalls family stranded on the road in an abandoned cabin while they wait out a torrential blizzard. During this time, they must keep their spirits up, fend off starvation, deal with a “renegade” Sioux lurking in the forest nearby, and above all… survive the overwhelming hatred that consumes the US Marshall stranded with them.
This week we also discuss the commonly used TV trope of bottle episodes, commercials in the 1970s, US Government and Native American relations, the Donner Party, and how Germans were duped into immigrating to the state of Missouri. Waste Time with these Links

This week Pa holds the equivalent of a Tupperware party for corn all thanks to a bushy-chested ginger named Joe Coulter with a college degree and big ideas. When a tragedy strikes on Joe’s journey home, Pa must venture out on a one-man search party while the rest of the Walnut Grove farmers stew in a growing rage fest of sweat and bitterness.
Amy, Julie, and Marissa talk all things 127 Hours, Titanic, Castaway, things that spook horses, and why corn is one of the largest and most problematic crops in the United States today. Amy also gives a lot of unwanted advice about how to act around pregnant women, leaving notes about where you are going, and sugar consumption. Enjoy!

This week, Amy and Julie introduce Marissa to the world of Christian romance novels, we all talk about Downton Abbey way too much, and (most importantly) a stylish young woman catches the eye of Doc Baker. She’s got amazing outfits, recognizes a woke bae when she sees one, and is a genuinely lovely person. We are just as taken with Kate Thorvald as the doc.
The only problem is, Doc Baker is at least 20 years her senior and has extensive sun damage. Will Hiram Baker’s bachelor lifestyle come to an end? Will Mr. Hansen get over his jealousy now that his best buddy suddenly has less time for him? Will Harriet Oleson (Kate’s aunt) allow the two lovebirds to get married? Find out all of this and much more on this week’s episode. Waste Time with These Links...
