Re: Hello from the UK
It was after the loss of my husband, that I also rediscovered Bonanza!

Re: Hello from the UK
Thank you, Oxgirl. It is nice to talk to people because Covid's been so isolating. Roy and I were handling it together and when he died things kinda went pear-shaped. You get out of the habit of actually talking to people and humans were not made to live in seclusion. People like you are so friendly and welcoming it's a pleasure to come back to the site. I've befriended you - I think that's what it's called, befriending? - although idk what that actually does!

Re: Hello from the UK
Thank you, Karol It actually taught me about Nevada, which I hadn't known a thing about before. I mean, I knew roughly where it was but that was all lol. The only reason I'd heard of Lake Tahoe was because it was in "The Godfather" as the Corleones' holiday home!! But I learned a bit about the state's history and geography and I'm a perpetual student, so it was good.Karol wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 12:19 pmPartisan, I am sorry that your husband passed away. Thank you for writing how you came across us.
By the way, the series Bonanza was also meant to be a family series set in the western United States.
and to Boomers!
You'll have fun with us - enjoy your time here on board!

Re: Hello from the UK
Thank you. Was your husband a great Western fan, too? I wasn't around for the original run - I was born in the late 60s so I don't remember it. I do remember LHOTP and The Waltons though because they were later. lol As you've probably guessed, it's Little Joe that kept me here - Waltons didn't have him, and LHOTP did, but he was older and as a very, very strict father, so when I was little, Charles Ingalls used to scare me! Somehow I don't think I'd have been scared by Ben Cartwright. I just could not believe how devastatingly gorgeous Joe was in the first seasons, and what with that and his loveableness and warmth, it just kept me glued. I learned to appreciate the other family members, too. I thought, "Well, it might not be realistic, but this is what true goodness is." If only we could have a bit more of it in the world.

Re: Hello from the UK
Thank you. It's funny how we all seem to like different people. You, Adam, me, Joe. It's nearly always Adam and Joe, ain't it? Sometimes poor Hoss and Ben get a look-in, I suppose. I mean, I like all of them, they're all what my Mum would've called "quality folks". Good and decent. Goodness and decency seem to be out of vogue these days, but Bonanza shows that it doesn't mean you have to be stuffy and boring to be good and decent.
