hi, my name is Elaine
Ben Cartwright, the firm but patiently loving dad, Adam, the handsome oldest son embodied every promise in Ben's heart of his legacy in this rugged land. Hoss, strong and gentle; with a heart as enormous as the Ponderosa they so loved. Loyal and decent and honest. Then there was little Joe. The energetic, fun loving, youngest... where Ben's hopes probably rested with great pride and longing for the heirs of his dreams. I often wondered what my father thought when he watched with me a television show that would survive him and most people. As for me, whenever I hear the theme song play, my father comes to mind and a warmth surrounds me, and my heart slows down enough for my mind to catch up and remember every second of that moment in time. My dad passed away in 1975, but he is never far from my heart and what we shared so long ago.
Thank you for this opportunity to share a bit of me.

It's lovely and sweet to revisit these places and stories. Now that I'm retired, I will be using my GoogleEarth app to map a road trip. I pray for courage. Thank you for your reply!littlejoenice wrote:Welcome, Elaine. Glad you found us. I've only been here I think two months, but I've enjoyed every minute of it.
