Suzanne Holland returns to the podcast to discuss this strange episode where blind kids (and some adults) need to walk a really long distance instead of transporting them via train or a few wagons. Great Harriet moments!
“Mr. Standish buys the building that the Blind school has been housed in and wants to turn it into a hotel. He gives the blind school 30 days to move. Adam and Mary send a letter to Charles telling them to alert them if they hear of an available place. Rev. Alden tells Charles that when he died, Lars Hansen left the deed to a big house in his care. It’s too big to sell to one family so he hasn’t been able to unload it, but it’s perfectly big enough for a blind school. The church votes to clean it up and get it ready for the blind school to take it over. The Winoka school is joining with another school run by Mrs. Hester Sue Terhune. When she finds out that a Mrs. Terhune is coming with the Winoka blind school, mistaking her for another lady she once knew by the name of Terhune, Harriet makes the decision to join the blind school on their journey back to Walnut Grove. She also decides to buy herself a new bedroom suit and donates her old (perfectly good one) to Mrs. Terhune’s bedroom at the blind school.”

Kelly Mielke from the Dr. QuinnCast and LandonNation Podcast returns to the show to discuss this amazing episode!  While attending a school reunion Caroline and Charles get away from Walnut Grove for a little while. Pa punches a rich guy, Caroline is hit on by the same rich guy, booze is drank and we see an elevator!  Exciting times indeed! 
“During a visit to a farmer’s convention in Milwaukee, Charles and Caroline meet up with old school mates. Charles learns that larger farmers are trying to put his small farming friends out of business and urges them to stand up for their profession. Meanwhile, Caroline becomes envious about the financial fortunes of their one-time friends, but she soon learns there’s more to their success stories than meets the eyes.“
