A few years ago, after I had read the Little House Series, but before I read the Rocky Ridge books we took a trip to Mansfield, Missouri. Mansfield is the home of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum...http://www.lauraingallswilderhome.com/. On the way there we stopped in Sikeston, Missouri and ate at Lambert's Cafe: The Only Home of the Throwed Roll...http://www.throwedrolls.com/. And they're not kidding. They really do throw the rolls. They come out of the kitchen with the rolls, you hold up your hand and they throw it to you. My daughter was beside herself with joy, and needless to say she ate a lot of rolls!

Number 89 on my booklist is On the Way Home. It tells of the Wilder's journey from South Dakota to their farm in the Ozarks that they would name Rocky Ridge Farm. Rocky Ridge Farm is the setting for number 99 and 100 on this portion of the list. It was neat reading these books after we'd been there because I didn't have to imagine what it looked like. I knew!
