From Plum Creek With Love: A Little House on the Prairie Podcast

Mary and Adam have done it; they're going to start a family. At least that's the news they are sharing with everyone...including Adam's estranged father who lives in New York City. And upon receiving the news, Giles Kendall makes his way to Walnut Grove and meets his new extended family. Making up for lost time Giles Kendall decides to 1) offer Adam the chance to attend Law School in NYC all expenses paid 2) Have Adam and Mary live with him and 3) Spoil the grandchild with many opportunities and experiences that would not be tangible in Walnut Grove. And while Mary and Adam are excited about this new opportunity, Charles is on the fence, fearing he would never see his daughter again as well as never see his Grandchild. Once the plans to move are settled, things take a turn for the worst and the newlyweds are left having to tackle a heartache that hasn't been felt on Walnut Grove before: the loss of a Pregnancy. Can you Imagine Mary walking the streets of New York City? How many Students attend the HIB? Now that Albert has demonstrated proficiency in wood work and basket weaving, what new project/hobby will he pick up next?

Toby Noe makes an unexpected visit to Walnut Grove on his way to Frisco and the Ingalls play host while he's there. As Laura gushes over another boy, Jason Brooks, at school, Toby Noe starts to gush over the Spinster Amanda Cooper. However, shyness and solitude are the major obstacles to overcome in this episode. Following the bad dating advice of Albert, Toby Noe must do something he has never done before to win the affection of Amanda Cooper...re-invent himself, aka sober up and find a job. Also following the bad dating advice of Albert, Laura now has only her father and brother to dance with at the upcoming Spring Dance. It's not until Toby Noe, investing in a little liquid courage, tells Amanda what he truly thinks of her that Amanda starts to realize there is a man out there who loves her. And realizing it's never too late to start fresh Jason Brooks, inspired by Toby and Amanda, asks Laura to the dance. Where did Amanda Cooper get her cat Percy? How come we got a second episode featuring Toby Noe? Do people have a tendency to flee when the Widow Mumford is around?

Outside of Walnut Grove lives a man named Issac Singerman. He's a widower and now also an empty nester as his only son moves out to NYC for marriage. Why did the son have to leave for marriage? Because he was following Jewish tradition. Lonely, Issac meets Albert and invites him to be his apprentice at his woodwork shop but also to have some company.

It finally happened...They made Carrie the lead character in an episode. Charles, persuaded by Jonathan Garvey, decides to take on a month long employment with the new Telephone system coming into the area, leaving Caroline alone at home with the kids...once again. With Charles gone and everyone busy, Carrie is not sure where to be without getting potential injured or yelled out.  Eventually Carrie is sent out to play on her own far away from home.  This is where she meets Alyssa, the type of person who makes your vision go all hazy when she's around.  Together these two proceed to go traipsing into worlds unexplored by Carrie and just be free.  Meanwhile, that promising job Charles and Jonathan Garvey are working on is is anything but.  With a pushy boss  promising a bonus if the work is completed on time and a very questionable chef with a thing for potatoes managing the work crew...this job site is surviving. When the job is completed Charles returns home and Carrie tries to introduce her special friend. It's a long run episode that feels like a long run episode.  Why doesn't Carrie have any friends around her own age she can hang out with? Where did Shaughnessy get his distillery set-up? What was really in that flower Alyssa gave Carrie to huff...smell?

Picking up exactly where the previous episode left off, the trek back to Walnut Grove from Winoka with Mary, Adam and the blind students moves on.  Harriet continues to share her impertinent opinions about Joe Kagan and gushes how excited she is to meet a fellow philantorpisht in Miss Hester Sue Terhune.  That's until Harriet finds out that Hester Sue is not a St. Louis Terhune but a Pascagoula Terhune.....oh, and Hester Sue is also a Black woman.  As the caravan continues to travel the rocky mountainous terrain of the prairie, a young boy named Samson traveling in the group starts to explore the rocky terrain of life when he inquires why Mrs. Oleson hates him and Joe Kagan. Let's also not forget there is another river to cross and Adam Kendall was starting to show signs of distress with the previous body of water.  As we cut back and forth between long takes of the traveling wagons and group we also get small vignettes of what's been happening back in Hero Township.  And before we know it the entire episode is over, while Harriet overcomes the town's lone bigot she and everyone else welcome the students to their new home. Do you think Joe Kagan thinks he's seen a ghost when the praiseverse blips and his wife show up as Hester Sue Terhune? Will we get to see more of Samson, Sue and Thomas now that they are residents of Walnut Grove?  Whose idea was it to wave at the blind students as they arrived?

We catch up with retired boxer Joe Kagan who is still living in Walnut Grove. Or at least is getting by. After two failed attempts (thank you Harriet and other local bigot Mr. Larabee) Joe is finally allowed to attend church with the rest of congregation (A Big thank you to Mr.Oleson) Meanwhile, back in Winoka, Mary and Adam are informed the church owned building the school for the blind operates out of has been sold to none other than local nuisance Mr.Standish. With only a month before being evicted, Mary writes home for help. And help is received as Mr.Hanson’s old giant house is donated for the purpose of being the new school for the blind. While trying to out due everyone’s generosity, Harriet donates all expenses needed to fix up the house. Not only that but upon hearing that a St. Louis Terhune (a socially elite family) will be joining the Winoka school for the blind on their trip, Harriet donates all her new bed furnishings. She also decides to come along on the trip to personally welcome Mary, Adam, the students and, most importantly Hester Sue Terhune, to their new home in Walnut Grove. But they got miles to go before they can sleep in their new place and many obstacles to overcome on the journey home.  What other cherry picking does Harriet do from the holy scripture? How long is this trek from Winoka to Walnut Grove going to take with the blind students…and Harriet? Why is everyone so quiet on this long walk home?
