“Adam and Luke Simms arrive in Walnut Grove, where Luke quickly falls for Nellie Oleson despite his unconventional appearance—barefoot and in overalls over long underwear—which horrifies Nellie’s mother, Harriet, who forbids their relationship. Meanwhile, Luke enlists Mary’s help to pick out a ring for Nellie’s birthday, but a misunderstanding leads Nellie to believe he’s toying with her feelings, prompting her to complain to Miss Beadle, who then confronts Adam Simms and unexpectedly begins to fall for him. As tensions rise, Luke and Nellie decide to elope, marrying and heading to a hotel, only to be tracked down by Harriet, Nels, Adam, and Miss Beadle, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation. Alongside this, a budding romance blossoms between Miss Beadle and Adam, adding a tender counterpoint to the youthful impulsiveness of Luke and Nellie’s union.” Here Come the Brides originally aired on December 5, 1977 The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.Check them out at: https://www.facebook.com/ProjectBrundlefly

“In the intertwined stories set in Sleepy Eye, James and Albert stumble into a bank robbery orchestrated by a ruthless gang. During the heist, James is critically wounded, leaving him in a coma. Initially, the doctor informs Charles, James’ father, that his son is unlikely to survive, prompting a grief-stricken Charles to team up with Mr. Edwards—and later Albert, who defies orders to stay behind—to hunt down the culprits. As weeks pass with James still comatose, Charles refuses to accept his son’s fate, growing increasingly abusive toward his family and friends under the strain. Overwhelmed by their pleas to let James go peacefully, Charles flees with his adopted son, Albert, into the woods. There, in a desperate act of faith, he constructs an altar and beseeches God for a miracle to save James.“ He Was only Twelve Parts 1 & 2 originally aired on May 3 & 10, 1982 The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.Check them out at: https://www.facebook.com/ProjectBrundlefly

“Laura and Andy find a Mama in a trap and two pups nearby. They take the “dogs” home, only to find out they are wolves. At the same time, some dogs that used to be pets but were released to the wild have gotten really wild and have been attacking some livestock in town. Charles and Caroline have gone out of town and Mary is left in charge of Laura and Carrie. She is under stress so she is a little too bossy and Laura runs to her tree house as often as possible or hangs out with Andy. They overhear that Jud Larabee (whose livestock was attacked) knows about their wolves and thinking they are responsible is going to come and kill the wolves. So, Laura and Andy move the wolves to Laura’s barn. While out there, Carrie and Mary hear the dogs coming and they all go to the barn and end up trapped in the loft because the dogs burrow under the door and get in. The local farmers come to the rescue and kill the dogs and find out that the mama wolf actually saved Andy’s life!” The Wolves originally aired on October 17, 1977Amy’s work is amazing and I really hope each of you check it out on her website

“Amelia Bevins is a new girl at school. Laura asks her to go home with her the afternoon of her first day at school to work on their essays and they go by the Blind School on the way home. When they get there, Laura and Albert and Andy start making fun of the over-weight man who has started working there. Amelia makes an excuse and runs off. Unbeknownst to them, it’s her father. Before they leave, Adam comes out and introduces Mr. Bevins and Laura realizes her mistake. That evening when Mr. Bevins goes home, he overhears his daughter telling his wife how her father embarrasses her because of his weight. He makes up a job on the railroad that will give him a lot of more money and convinces the people at the blind school that he has no family in town but could save the money he’s been spending on the room if they’ll let him stay in his storage room. They notice that he only works outside on the roof late at night and he works inside all day, but he says it’s cooler that way. When he accidentally falls through the roof and gets hurt, the doctor tells Adam that he could have surgery and get better but that Mr. Bevins has given up the will to live.” The Man Inside originally aired on October 2, 1978 The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.Check them out at: https://www.facebook.com/ProjectBrundlefly
