I also read My Life On The Mountain...What I Learned From Erin Walton by Mary McDonough. That was excellent! I find it interesting to read about the life of a Hollywood star. I also found it interesting how many things I had in common with a star. Too bad having lots of cash in the bank isn't one of them!
The Waltons is one of my all time favorite TV shows. When I was growing up, I always wished that my family was like them. I would even imagine myself being one of the Waltons. I loved how they all got along and even when Olivia was pregnant many years after Elizabeth, the kids were all excited. In my own life, I only had a sister and she hated me from the day I was born. I endured mental, emotional, and physical abuse from her for years. I tried and tried to gain her acceptance and love, but nothing worked. Luckily, I had the Waltons to escape my grim reality.
I discovered that the Hallmark Channel and INSP are both showing all of the seasons of the show. Yeah! Here is a strange coincidence....I had been thinking of reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, found it on my shelf, and started reading. A few days after that, Cindy Walton (Ben's wife) was reading the same book. I know...I'm weird. LOL!
