Dean and Alison are just a day away from the Little House on the Prairie Cast Reunion at Columbia State Historic Park—but there's still plenty of time to recap one of the funniest episodes in Little House history!This week, we dig into “Here Come the Brides” (Season 4), where we come to a shocking realization: almost every Little House wedding is a surprise wedding. Seriously—BOOM. No invitations. No planning. Just, “Surprise! You're hitched!”This episode has it all: Nellie in full teenage heat (seriously, someone hand her a fan), Mrs. Oleson attempting homicide, and little Willy not giving even half a hoot. Pig farming somehow becomes sexy, Miss Beadle (the fabulous Charlotte Stewart) becomes a Mrs., and Nellie is crowned the Pig Queen of Minnesota…for approximately ten minutes.Alison shares some epic behind-the-scenes stories—how Jonathan Gilbert came up with that pratfall, what it was like working with “Luke,” and the sneaky way Charlotte helped cast her future husband in the show. She also reflects (with just a tiny bit of cringing) on just how, uh… aggressively enthusiastic Nellie was in this one. It's pure comedy gold.And of course—join us on Patreon, where Alison spills even more tea about this episode. Trust us, it's worth it.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

We kick things off with Alison's whirlwind NYC adventure and her sold-out smash, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch! (Turns out being mean on TV still packs a house.) Dean and Alison are now setting their sights on June's California Gold Country event—sunscreen and bonnets at the ready! Meanwhile, Pamela's busy on the stage (and working her pattooty off!) with her off-Broadway show Cracked Open, now playing through June.Then—grab the tissues and cuddle your fur baby—we dive into one of the most tender, tear-jerking episodes of Little House: “Remember Me,” featuring the legendary Patricia Neal. This is the episode that gave us that line:“Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I'll remember you. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.”(It's so iconic, they literally put it on Michael Landon's epitaph. Yes. Really.) Who knew this episode would end up eerily reflecting Michael's own life just a few years later? Ugh.But don't worry—it's not all heartbreak and handkerchiefs! We also get a wedding! Isaiah and Grace finally tie the knot and step into parenthood like pros. From sorrow springs love, and new beginnings.This two-parter has everything: death, love, puppies, and yes—Pa's famously quivering lip.Want even more?

Dean and Alison catch us up on their recent adventures at the Cherry Blossom Festival (spoiler: it was charming, floral, and probably involved a President's grandchild). We dip a toe into Waltons territory—just don't say the “W” word around Pamela! And we've got an update on Baby Carrie, courtesy of the Greenbush twins themselves.Then it's back to basics with the Season 2 premiere of Little House on the Prairie, “The Richest Man in Walnut Grove.” This episode is a beautiful reminder of the show's core values—delivered with simplicity, warmth, and just enough hardship to cue the waterworks before the opening credits are done rolling. (Yes, it starts with cow-milking. Yes, we're already crying.)The economic woes of the 1870s hit uncomfortably close to home for 1970s viewers—and, honestly, still hit today. Charles is broke (again), Mrs. Oleson is insufferable (as usual), Nellie and Willie are on their villain era tour (standard), and Ma and the girls show up as the resilient queens they are (per tradition). And Miss Whipple? She's quietly running the town with a thimble in one hand and perhaps an illegal mani-pedi operation in her basement. Or is that just Pamela's theory? Regardless... she's a total Boss B.Of course, in true Little House fashion, there's a moral twist: it's not about money, it's about love, community, and the kind of hard-earned respect you can't buy at Olsen's Mercantile. After all, Pa may be broke, but he's rich in love, sweat, and suspenders.Then, join us on Patreon!

He's baaaack!

We're joined by one of our all-time favorite guests—Andy Garvey himself, the one and only Patrick Labyorteaux!Patrick and Alison take us behind the scenes of this unforgettable episode, where (surprise!) Nellie proves once again she's the absolute worst. Poor Andy!Patrick shares stories about working with his on-screen parents, his real-life adoptive parents, how he was directed in the episode, and what it was like growing up alongside his equally talented brother, Matthew.But we've got questions…Why was Alice the worst teacher ever?Why did Nellie literally write the answers in her coat lining?!Can we all agree—no one feels good getting a whooping?And finally… was Patrick actually psychotic as a child? You have to hear the story.Then, Patrick joins us again on Patreon to talk about how being a child actor today compares to his time on Little House on the Prairie—and what's changed over the years.Don't forget to subscribe, comment, leave a review, and share this episode with fellow Bonnetheads.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

Alison was still in Paris having her Prairie Bitch adventures (with the infamous French mouse) during the recording of this episode, the weather is starting to warm up in NYC, and in exciting news, Dean announces he's writing a new book! (Yay!!!) Then, we discuss the episode where Alison even hates herself. That's right, we're talking about “The Music Box”, from Season 3—where villainy is real, and cruelty reigns. We're talking “peak evil”. WHY, Nellie, WHY?! Alison explains why this episode was especially tough for her on a personal level (remember, Alison is really nice in real life!). Katy Kurtzman, who plays the stuttering Anna, earns her stripes as a Little House GOAT of co-stars who joins the Vortex of Characters We Fall In Love With Whom We Never See Again. Pamela diagnoses Nellie as a certified psychopath, and gives a quick crash course on the difference between a sociopath vs. psychopath. (She cracked the Nellie code!) It's Laura's birthday in this episode (what month is it? Who cares—Walnut Grove is in eternal spring/summer!) and a failed birthday present leads to a passionate robbery. Sort of. We've got ridiculous nightmare sequences, bad fake fiddle playing, and Mary's big-sister energy on overdrive. (Hint: don't mess with her beauty sleep!). And in the end, did Nels use the strap? You decide. The moral of this episode: Don't get your kid a dictionary for their birthday. Season 3 cranked Nellie's sadism to a whole new level—and we had a blast recapping this one!Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon where Alison and Dean and Pamela talk about things we cannot air on the podcast...Don't forget to subscribe, comment, leave a review, and share this episode with fellow Bonnetheads.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

Alison shares her Paris adventures (yes, including some rodent encounters), Dean dishes on their exciting new ventures with Prairie Legacy Productions, and Pamela goes on a rant against possums (apologies to the possum lovers out there).But then—on to the main event!We're recapping another standout episode from Season 1: “School Mom”. Caroline Ingalls steps in as the earthy and compassionate substitute teacher, helping a student in need named Able.And we ask the most important question:Why does Able look like he's 42 years old?Able was played by Dirk Blocker, the son of Bonanza legend Dan Blocker and the best friend and mentor of Michael Landon, and shockingly, was only 17 when the episode was filmed. After his father, Dan's passing, Michael Landon brought Dirk into the Little House family to honor his dad's legacy—and wow, did he deliver.Alison and Dean also reveal a shocking tidbit about Miss Beadle's stunt double (you won't believe it!) and ask the pressing question: where does Miss Beadle actually live?Pa steps up in peak “Chesty Charles” fashion, cooking dinner for Caroline after her long day of teaching (ladies, we all know how hot that is—gentlemen, take notes).We also dive into how the relationship between Karen Grassle and Michael Landon shifted over time, leading to Karen's role being gradually diminished. Alison opens up about how this impacted her and the rest of the cast—and how Karen still showed up, always delivering powerful, heartfelt performances.And of course, no Little House episode recap is complete without calling out the real villains of the Prairie: the school children. Seriously, Walnut Grove, do better! Honestly, the level of petty in that classroom (including Mrs. Oleson) is chef's kiss terrible.This Ma-centric episode is a beautiful example of empathy, compassion, and patience. It tugs at every heartstring and proves once again why Caroline Ingalls remains the #1 mom of all time.

We kick things off with a little chat about Alison Balson, who played the unforgettable Nancy Oleson, along with some fond (and hilarious) memories from Dean and Alison. Here's a quick shout-out to Nancy—she brought a whole new level of wild to Walnut Grove! Let's hear it for a little Nancy love!Now, cue the bug spray and brace yourself—it's time for The Campout!An epic misadventure in the great outdoors where the Olesons and the Ingalls attempt a relaxing weekend of camping, (spoiler: no one was relaxed), a questionable school project and some very odd ideas of what one would consider a "vacation".This episode marks the beginning of Katherine MacGregor's comedic brilliance on the show, while also giving us a peek into Mrs. Oleson's more vulnerable side. Yes, underneath all the feathers and finger-pointing, she's got feelings! And this peek behind the curtain only deepened our love-hate obsession with her. It also opened up a whole new dimension to the Olesons and deepened our love-hate relationship with them. Especially the hate part.Alison spills the tea on what the Olesons were actually eating at that dinner table, how they filmed the now-iconic floating-down-the-river moment (it was way more dangerous than it looked), and the very creative (read: gross) way she and Melissa Gilbert stayed warm in their wetsuits. Let's just say it involved a bodily function and a lot of friendship. Dean and Alison also dive into Katherine MacGregor's unique approach to her role, including how she wove elements of her real life into many of Mrs. Oleson's unforgettable moments.And finally, things get real when Pamela asks the question we didn't know we needed:“What's your damage, Pa?!”Grab your bonnet, pour some of Ma's coffee, get out your anti-itch ointment, and join us for a laugh-filled, memory-soaked deep dive into one of the most delightfully chaotic episodes Little House ever gave us. This one's a classic!Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the growing negativity on Little House social platforms. We're taking a stand against toxic, bigoted, and harmful behavior from those who, somehow, believe there's space for hatred in the world of Walnut Grove. It's a powerful moment of reflection, solidarity, and setting the record straight—and one you won't want to miss.Don't forget to subscribe, comment, leave a review, and share this episode with fellow Bonnetheads.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

In the debut episode of The Littlest Headline: The Bruin Archive, host Yony Marian sits down with second-year neuroscience student Keira Janiga to explore what it's like moving from the small town of Newcastle, California to the bustling campus of UCLA. From gold rush history and mandarin festivals to homeschooled beginnings and urban overwhelm, this episode offers a glimpse into Keira's personal journey – and the community she calls home. A transcript is available at dailybruin.com/category/podcasts.
**Warning**: If you, like Dean, have never read the beloved novel *Little Women* or watched any of its movie adaptations, brace yourself—you may not fully grasp the emotional weight of today's episode recap: "Little Women"! (Honestly, Dean Butler, how *dare* you!) In this episode, we meet more characters that we end up falling in love with, only to never see them again (you know, the infamous *Vortex of Special Guests* from the multiverse?). But let's get down to the real issues: Why are the wigs so distractingly bad in this episode? Is Jenny indeed Mrs. Beadle's long-lost daughter? Does Nellie's intense, pantomimed sewing session make you...uneasy? And seriously, why does Ma scrubbing the bare floor make you *so* tired just watching it? Plus, Pamela and Alison share their *uncomfortable* “groomer vibes” from one of the main characters, and we take a detour to *Frontier House* on PBS to remind ourselves that a solid stockpile of chopped wood is *essential* for prairie life! Alison also spills the tea on the real-life inspiration for her character, Nellie Oleson, and uncovers some surprising connections to this episode, along with juicy behind-the-scenes gossip about Katherine MacGregor and Jonathan Gilbert! In a moment of sheer brilliance, we even compare the *Little House* characters to Muppets—and yes, we're calling out Miss Piggy specifically! Lastly, Alison cracks the mystery of *why* Baby Carrie takes that tumble down the hill in the opening credits. You won't want to miss it! Then join Pamela, Dean and Alison on Patreon!

Spring is in the air—even for Alison in France! Hard to believe it's been over a year since the Simi Valley 50th Anniversary event. It feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago… and we're still recovering. HA! Today, we're diving into our first Season 7 episode recap: The In-Laws—a whirlwind of absurd hilarity starring our favorite duo, Dean Butler and Michael Landon. This episode serves up Pa/Almanzo tension in the silliest way possible, blending slapstick humor with some questionable frontier authenticity (mountains on the prairie, anyone?). Michael Landon's comedic brilliance shines, but let's be real—this episode asks us to completely suspend our belief in historical accuracy. And these days? That kind of creative license wouldn't fly in TV production, which makes us even more curious (and hopeful!) about the upcoming Netflix adaptation. Meanwhile, the 1800s patriarchy is alive and well, as bet-making seems to be totally fine with Ma and Laura. We also have Alison's infamous pickle-and-ice-cream moment, plus Percival and Doc Baker's utterly maddening reaction to her *gasp* gaining weight. Oh, the joys of period-accurate sexism… Other highlights include:Albert rocking some impressive peach fuzzGarvey's return (and a shirtless Andy for all you Teen Beat fans!)The telephone playing a surprisingly important roleAnd seriously—can someone take Mary out to a restaurant for once?!And of course, no chaotic trip to Sleepy Eye would be complete without the comedic genius of Eddie Quillan, who steals the show as Cavendish, Pa's latest nuisance. Dean and Alison also pull back the curtain on the technical side of Little House, dishing about the extensive voiceover work (aka "looping") that was a staple of the show—much to Dean's chagrin. And finally, the real question: Did Michael Landon wax his chest? We get to the bottom of it -- Only on The Little House 50 Podcast, where we discuss the truly important Prairieverse matters!Then join Pamela, Dean and Alison on Patreon!

Emily Freitas joins the podcast while she’s about to give birth! We break down this amazing episode and I hope you enjoy it! Writer: B.W. Sandefur Director: Michael Landon In “Gold Country,” a two-part episode of Little House on the Prairie, relentless rain devastates the crops in Walnut Grove, prompting Charles Ingalls and Isaiah Edwards to seek fortune in a gold rush 400 miles away in Deadwood. Facing economic hardship, they convince their families to join the perilous journey. Upon arrival, they encounter inflated prices, scarce claims, and a rough town, eventually moving to Newton, 50 miles west. Initial optimism fades as they struggle to find gold, and tensions rise with dangerous prospectors. Tragedy strikes when Mr. Delano is killed over his gold, and Mr. Griffin desecrates a grave for riches, shaking the community. Disillusioned, Charles reflects in a heartfelt church speech, choosing family over wealth. The Ingalls and Edwards families abandon the gold chase, returning home with renewed values, passing hopeful newcomers on their way. 5 Best Quotes Charles: “There's nothing in the world that makes a man feel so bad as knowing there's just nothing he can do.” This captures Charles’ frustration and helplessness amid the rain-ruined crops, driving his decision to seek gold. Caroline: “Charles Ingalls, if you think I'm going to put up with having you underfoot around here for the next 6 months, you've got another thing coming.” A tender yet firm nudge from Caroline, showing her support for Charles' risky venture with love and humor. Isaiah: “I did this so we could get some flour or some bacon.” Isaiah's justification after gambling reflects his desperate intent to provide, despite Grace's skepticism. Charles: “I asked God to give me the strength to forget about it, to turn my back on it… and to let me take my family home.” In his church speech, Charles reveals his epiphany, prioritizing family over the fleeting promise of gold. Laura: “Ask him to please forgive me.” Laura's plea to Charles about Mr. Zachariah underscores her guilt and innocence after unintentionally causing harm. 5 Trivia Questions Question: What natural disaster forces Charles and Isaiah to consider leaving Walnut Grove? Answer: Relentless rain that destroys the crops. Question: How far is the gold rush location from Walnut Grove, as mentioned by Charles? Answer: 400 miles. Question: What item does Charles request at Nels' store that they are out of? Answer: Baking soda. Question: What tragic event involving Mr. Delano shifts the tone of the episode? Answer: He is killed by prospectors seeking his gold. Question: What does Charles ultimately decide to do after his church speech? Answer: Take his family back home to Walnut Grove.

Alison is still living the French dream, while Dean teases us with hints of another thrilling Little House event. Meanwhile, Pamela cozies up with her puppy as we dive into this week's recap of “The Collection”—an episode featuring two of the biggest stars of the era, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.This is, without a doubt, the juiciest episode of the podcast we've ever recorded! We reveal never-before-heard details about what was happening behind the scenes, including the real reason Melissa Gilbert wasn't in this episode. And yes, we even get confirmation straight from Melissa herself during a live text session! You'll also find out why Pamela has an unexpectedly deep knowledge of the Carter-Cash family and what led Johnny and June to guest star on Little House. She also discusses “the two faces of Mary”—because yeah, Melissa Sue Anderson will serve some hardcore wrath at the drop of a hat!

ALISTAIR CROSS Alistair Cross' debut novel, The Crimson Corset, a vampiric tale of terror and seduction, was an immediate bestseller earning praise from veteran vampire-lit author, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and New York Times bestseller, Jay Bonansinga, author of The Walking Dead series. In 2012, Alistair joined forces with international bestseller, Tamara Thorne, and as Thorne & Cross, they write – among other things – the successful Gothic series, The Ravencrest Saga. Their debut collaboration, The Cliffhouse Haunting, was a bestseller. They are currently at work on their next solo novels and a new collaborative project. In 2014, Alistair and Tamara began the radio show, Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE!, which has featured such guests as Anne Rice of The Vampire Chronicles, Charlaine Harris of the Southern Vampire Mysteries and basis of the HBO series True Blood, Jeff Lindsay, author of the Dexter novels, Jay Bonansinga of The Walking Dead series, Laurell K. Hamilton of the Anita Blake novels, Peter Atkins, screenwriter of HELLRAISER 2, 3, and 4, worldwide bestseller V.C. Andrews, and New York Times best sellers Preston & Child, Christopher Rice, and Christopher Moore. TAMARA THORNE Tamara Thorne's first novel was published in 1991. Since then she has written many more, including international bestsellers Haunted, Bad Things, Moonfall, and The Sorority. Tamara's interest in writing is lifelong, as is her fascination with the paranormal, occult, mythology and folklore. She's been an avid ghost story collector and writer all her life. Tamara's novels range from straight-out ghost stories to tales of witchcraft, conspiracies, UFOs, elemental forces, and vampires. No matter what topic she chooses, chances are you'll find a ghost or two lurking in the background. Today, she and her frequent collaborator, Alistair Cross, share their worlds and continue to write about ghosts and other mysterious forces. Whether collaborating or writing solo, there is no shortage of humor, sex, blood, and spookiness. Tamara also conducts real-life investigations of anomalous phenomena and has seen a number of odd things over the last twenty years. As an open-minded skeptic, she's spoken to many paranormal groups and has appeared on the television show, Ghost Adventures. Most recently, she and Alistair Cross went on a five-day investigation to an allegedly haunted cabin in California's Gold Country - an adventure that inspired The Cliffhouse Haunting. She has also been featured on many radio programs and in various newspapers on the topics of haunted places and local lore. A journalist by training, she occasionally writes about ghosts and hauntings for a syndicate of southern California newspapers, but her first love is, and has always been, telling ghost stories to make people scream. . . and laugh. Tamara and Alistair co-host Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE! every Thursday night on Blog Talk Radio. You can also visit Tamara on Twitter, Facebook, or at her blog.

Staffordshire Hoard, 2009 In 2009, Terry Herbert, a passionate amateur treasure hunter, was exploring a plowed field near Hammerwich, Staffordshire, England, when his metal detector signaled a significant discovery. Over five days of diligent excavation, Herbert and the landowner, Fred Johnson, unearthed a staggering 3,500 military artifacts, collectively known as the Staffordshire Hoard. This extraordinary find included over 11 pounds of gold, 3 pounds of silver, and semi-precious garnets, possibly sourced from as far as Sri Lanka or Afghanistan. Dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries, during the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, the hoard is believed to have been buried around 875 A.D., when the region was under Viking threat. 2. The Le Catillon II Hoard, 2012 Reg Mead and Richard Miles, metal detection enthusiasts from Jersey, embarked on a decades-long quest after hearing a farmer's tale in the early 1980s. The farmer claimed to have discovered silver coins while plowing his field on the British island of Jersey. Mead and Miles, armed with perseverance, obtained permission to search the field for a mere 10 to 15 hours each year after the harvest. Their dedication bore fruit in 2012 when they unearthed 68,000 coins, along with gold neck torcs and glass beads. These treasures, dating back to 30 B.C. to 40 B.C., were buried by the Coriosolitae tribe of Celts, likely fleeing from a Roman invasion led by Julius Caesar. The Le Catillon II Hoard stands as the largest collection of gold jewelry and Celtic coins ever found. 3. St. Albans Hoard, 2012 In 2012, novice metal detectorist Westley Carrington ventured into a farm field in Berkhamsted, England, armed with a beginner's metal detector. His discovery turned out to be one of the largest hoards of Roman gold coins ever uncovered in Great Britain Jesus Introduction · This chapter forms a composite picture of the kingdom of God o Responses to it o Rejection of it o Judgement of all people o Personal responses to it o The value of it · It can also form a historical outline: o Planting of the seeds o Varied responses o Small beginnings o Infiltration of the gospel throughout the Roman empire o Individual responses and value of the kingdom o Final judgment These parables are only found in Matthew 1. The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. These stories build on what Jesus has taught about how things are “hidden” and “secret.” Some find the gospel, others don't. The other parables talk about the impact or spread or nature of the gospel, these two talk about the value to individuals. The treasure · People hid valuables in the ground, there were no banks or vaults to provide safety. o Genghis Khan § Khan was reported to have given himself a front row seat for the mayhem at Merv. He sat on a golden throne and watched as men were dragged before him and executed. It was said to have been a ‘memorable day for shrieking and weeping and wailing'. The invaders tortured the wealthy citizens of Merv so they'd give up their money and jewels. One source puts the number of dead in the Merv massacre at 700,000, while a contemporary Persian chronicler estimated the number of corpses at a staggering 1.3 million. Khan apparently ordered each of his soldiers to kill at least 300 people. · He stumbles on it · He knows he's found something amazing · He sells all out of self-interest Feb. 25, 2014, 12:53 PM MST / Updated Feb. 25, 2014, 12:54 PM MST A Northern California couple out walking their dog on their Gold Country property stumbled across a modern-day bonanza: $10 million in rare, mint-condition gold coins buried in the shadow of an old tree. Nearly all of the 1,427 coins, dating from 1847 to 1894, are in uncirculated, mint condition, said David Hall, co-founder of Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana, which recently authenticated them. Although the face value of the gold pieces only adds up to about $27,000, some of them are so rare that coin experts say they could fetch nearly $1 million apiece. The pearl · This is a person who is seeking actively · He is familiar with prices and value · He realizes that this is the only one he needs to own · Once you have the gospel, you don't need anything else · Share: Silver Coins These stories emphasize that only the wholehearted get to enjoy the treasure. You have to go all in, sell out and grab hold of what God is offering you. Jesus specifically says that in Luke 14:33 “In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.” How's your response to the gospel? Whether you've stumbled on it or have been searching for it these stories show that once you discover it, you have to determine the incomparable value of Jesus and then divest of anything necessary to get the treasure. The trouble is we don't value Jesus highly enough. We want him and a whole lot more. It's time to repent and get baptized. If you are already a disciple and have the treasure: Ø Do you gripe and complain how hard it is to follow Jesus? Ø Do you complain how much you've had to give up to follow him? Ø Are you considering selling Jesus for something in the world, like Judas? If you have Jesus, you have everything you need. There once was a fabulously wealthy man who loved his son above all things. To stay close to his son, they began to build an art collection together. Every spare minute, they were out at auctions and sales acquiring rare works of art: everything from Picasso to Raphael. By the time the Vietnam conflict broke out, they built one of the rarest most valuable collections in the world. A letter came one day informing the son he had been drafted. The father offered to pull some strings, but the son felt compelled to serve his country as his father and grandfather did before him. The son went off to war, but he wrote his dad every day. One day the letters stopped. The father's worst fears were realized when he received a telegram from the war department informing him his son had been killed while attempting to rescue another soldier. About six months later, there was a knock at the door. A young soldier with a large package under his arm said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the man your son saved on that faithful day he died deep in the jungles of Viet Nam. He had already saved many lives that day, and as he was carrying me off the battlefield, he was shot through the heart and died instantly. Your son was my friend and we spent many a lonely night "in country talking about you and your love for art." The young soldier held out his package and said, "I know this isn't much and I'm not much of an artist, but I wanted you to have this painting I've done of your son as I last remember him. The father tore open the package and fought back the tears as he gazed at a portrait of his one and only son. He said, "You have captured the essence of my son's smile in this painting and I will cherish it above all others." The father hung the portrait over his mantle. When visitors came to his home, he always drew attention to the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other masterpieces. When the father died the news went out that the entire collection was being offered at an exclusive private auction. Collectors and art experts from around the world gathered for the chance of purchasing one of them. The first painting on the auction block was the soldier's modest rendering of his son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel and asked someone to start the bidding. The sophisticated crowd scoffed and demanded the Van Gogh's and the Rembrandts be brought forth. The auctioneer persisted. "Who will start the bidding? $200? $100?" The crowd continued to turn up their noses, waiting to see the more serious paintings. Still the auctioneer solicited, "The son! The son! Who will take the son? Finally, a squeaky voice from the back said, "I'll bid $10 for the son." The bidder was none other than the young soldier the son had died saving. He said, "I didn't come to buy anything and all I have is $10 to my name, but I bid it all." The auctioneer continued seeking a higher bid, but the angry crowd began to chant, "Sell it to him and let's get on with the auction." The auctioneer pounded the gavel and sold the painting for the bid of $10. An eager buyer from the second row bellowed, "Finally, on with the auction." And just then the auctioneer said, "The auction is now officially closed." The hostile crowd demanded to know how after coming, all this way could the auction possibly be over? The president of the auctioning company came to the microphone and said, "When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a stipulation in the will I could not divulge until now. According to the wishes of the deceased only the painting of the son was to be sold today and whoever takes the son gets it all. So today, for $10 this young man has bought one of the world's most priceless art collections and the entire estate in which it is housed -- auction closed." And with the swing of the gavel, the crowd sat in stunned silence staring at the young soldier. “Whoever takes the son, gets it all” If you have the Son, you have it all. 2. The Parable of the Net 47 “Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. · This is similar to the parable of the weeds. · There will never be a time when you as a disciple will be surrounded only by “righteous” people. · It's like a lake where everyone is swimming free. · There is a net slowly moving us in one direction, but we all have freedom now. So many people are like the optimist falling from a tenth story window, who called out cheerfully as he passed each story, going down, “All right so far!” 51 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they replied. 52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.” · When you become a disciple, you are like a teacher of the law who has access to treasures both old and new. · Why wouldn't you want to share those with others? Ø Share the word study and discipleship study this fall with someone 3. A Prophet Without Honor 53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. 54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” 58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. · This is a variation on the saying, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” · I should have read this scripture before I decided to plant a church in my hometown. · I somehow missed this · Many people became Christians, my family didn't make it. · Show picture of my hometown church. You know how many family members responded? None Next Steps · Pay any price to get Jesus and his kingdom · Pull out treasures old and new and teach someone the word and discipleship study this fall · Prepare for the judgment. Make sure you have a real relationship with Christ. Repent and get baptized immediately.

The trend towards fewer, bigger seed companies is nothing new in US agriculture, and is not even unique to the seed industry. But as a handful of major players have bought up more and more independent seed companies, especially since the 1990s, it's left farmers and industry analysts alike wondering what the impact is, and will be, on grower selection, price, and innovation overall. Today, DTN Crops Editor Jason Jenkins takes a closer look at the consolidation trend in the seed industry, especially after the announcement that several brands, including Fontanelle, Gold Country, Kruger, Lewis Hybrids, and Stone Seed will be eliminated from Bayer's portfolio as of 2025. We'll talk about the motivations behind these retirements for the big companies, what it might mean for producers when they're making their selections for next year, and how independent seed companies are continuing to fit into a global seed market that seems to have less and less space for specialized players.Then we'll talk about longer term consolidation trends and the seed news Jason expects to see in the weeks and months ahead.Read Jason's full story here.

Over 250,000 Native Americans lived on the Great Plains in the 19th Century. While white settlers focused on taming the frontier, the indigenous inhabitants sought to maintain their hold on land they had lived on for centuries. In the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, the United States recognized the Black Hills as the Great Sioux Reservation, promising to prosecute any “bad men” who committed wrongs against the Indians.
Built in 1878, Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home has worn many hats throughout its history. From a brothel and boarding house to a speakeasy and gambling den, a family home, and now an Airbnb, this house has seen it all. Nestled in the heart of Gold Country, in Jackson, California, where the Wild West left behind more than just memories, this home has been a silent witness to countless tales and energies over the last 150 years. But what truly sets this house apart is its ghostly residents. Is the former owner, Maggie, still there, along with her child and husband? Is Steve still dwelling in the basement? Why do so many spirits linger in the home? The house is definitely haunted. But these spirits are friendly and won't disturb anyone who isn't interested in communicating with them. Ask them to leave you alone, and they promise to be nice. This is part three of our conversation about Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home with owner Elsie Lodde.

In Daniel Gumbiner's latest novel, “Fire in the Canyon,” wildfire acts as a plot catalyst and a character. The story follows Ben Hecht, a former pot farmer turned grape grower in California's Gold Country, who is just getting by when wildfire sweeps through. Both the Hecht family and the land they live on exist in a “state of fragile equilibrium,” in which security is both hard-earned and precarious. We'll talk to Gumbiner about the emotional costs of climate change and wildfire in California. Guests: Daniel Gumbiner, author, "Fire in the Canyon"

“It's someone's 50th wedding anniversary. They're celebrating a new baby. We've had surprise engagements. We've had people mourning the loss of someone they loved. Every human emotion and experience you can imagine is being shared around this table. And I feel it is this huge responsibility we have to care for that, to nurture it. To create lifelong memories for our guests.” We're in great company with Sherry Villanueva, Founder and Managing Partner of ACME Hospitality celebrating 10 years of creating happiness for her guests and teams alike, with innovative food & beverage concepts and boutique hotels sprinkled around California. Over this time, Sherry has curated a village of hospitality loving hosts, gastro-geeks, delightful diners and ravenous regulars throughout Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, the Sierra Nevada Foothills and soon San Juan Capistrano. In this episode, Sherry delves into the deep connection she has with her two historic hotels in California's Gold Country, the National Exchange Hotel in Nevada City and the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley, lovingly restored by local artists, designers and craftspeople. Listen as she invites us all to experience 165 years of history and welcome a change in the seasons, as we say goodbye to our Indian summer and hello to a warm festive winter. Top Takeaways [1:45] Sherry spent a career traveling the world tracking trends, learning a lot about human behavior before founding ACME Hospitality for “people passionate about caring for people.” [6:40] The moment the stars aligned for Sherry happened to be in her own backyard of Santa Barbara, CA when she was tapped to revitalize a neighborhood called “The Funk Zone.” [10:30] A look back at 10 years of ACME Hospitality includes lots of laughs, a lot of tears, and learning “how to pace and embrace the chaos.” [13:20] Get to know Santa Barbara's culinary scene with ACME Hospitality through The Lark, the restaurant that started it all, Loquita, serving authentic Spanish tapas, La Paloma Cafe, celebrating Santa Maria traditions, The Helena Avenue Bakery, where everything is scratch-made, Lucky Penny, spinning out wood-fired pizzas, Tyger Tyger, with its vegan Thai cuisine, Santa Barbara Wine Collective, a tasting room featuring small family run wineries, and Pearl Social, a music and cocktail lounge. [18:20] When Sherry set off to restore two historical boutique hotels in California's Gold Country, she wanted to ensure a deep sense of community - stewarding culturally significant properties, supporting local purveyors, investing in local non-profits, and connecting to nature. [26:35] The National Exchange Hotel with its Victorian era spirit, is full of rich colors and patterns, opulent furnishings, lovingly restored original features, and mysterious details around every corner that continue to surprise guests as they explore further. [33:40] Sherry explains how two towns such as Nevada City and Grass Valley, which may be just minutes apart, can feel worlds away. Nevada City, full of true craftsmen, sets the scene for a Hallmark movie, while Grass Valley with its rugged edge, is the heart and grit that built the industry. [38:40] The Holbrooke Hotel, where modern luxuries blend seamlessly with a historically unique, rustic-yet-refined, one-of-a-kind property, features the oldest saloon in California serving patrons for over 165 years. [48:00] Since opening another boutique hotel, Azure Sky in Palm Springs, Sherry is setting her sights on San Juan Capistrano, with another hotel and two restaurants opening soon.
