Isaiah, Jr. *TH*

Age 27, son of @ISAIAH_EDWARDS & Colleen Rafferty. (Mankato saloon maid, long deceased.) Conceived by Pop in his young wild oats days! Loving and caring nature.

@IsaiahEdwardsJr bio: Biological parents: @ISAIAH_EDWARDS and Colleen Rafferty (deceased). Searched long and hard to find his father Isaiah. Rescued him from a life of misery as an alcoholic in Sleepyeye and brought him back to Walnut Grove to recover and work the farm together.

@ISAIAH_EDWARDS I'll be home soon Pop! (snickers) Be careful of your back. I'll look for them before dark. Thanks for collecting the eggs. Love you! @ISAIAH_EDWARDS

@ISAIAH_EDWARDS @MrsOleson No Pop, Mrs. Oleson didn't convince me to buy it. I kind of liked the look of it. Reminded me of one Mom had, before I found you. Not the same type but the color. ( Sentimental thoughts of his mother, Colleen Rafferty.) @ISAIAH_EDWARDS @MrsOleson

@ISAIAH_EDWARDS I'll have you there in a jiffy Pop. Will go slow as to not throw around the wagon much. Just hold tight. (snaps reins) Come on there Clem! Yahh! (Wagon moves along the small dirt farmstead road up to the main road leading toward town.) @ISAIAH_EDWARDS

Standing at the doorway of our cabin on the Edwards farmstead. Snowfall last night. Walnut Grove, Minnesota.

@Phil_Brinkman I'm grateful for you too. Thanks for completing my life. (Takes Phil's calloused hand and kisses his big palm in tenderness.)

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman That means the world to me that you say such things Phillip. Pop has had a hard life and it will take him time to understand.

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman Thanks for helping Pop with that big Christmas tree. He always picks one that is too large for the doorway. @ISAIAH_EDWARDS

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman Typical response from the Brinkman Bull. (Grins then stares ahead at the hearth fire.) Seriously though, you did a great job.

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman Yea the whole farm is quiet Glad we repaired that big barn over the summer. It's perfect for the animals and storage too.

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman Made strong the way you like it. (Sits in a 2nd high hack chair next to Phillip. Both bare footed and warming. Sips coffee.)

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman Come on inside and warm up. I'll make us lunch and some hot coffee. Thanks for tending to the wood. We were running low.

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman Sorry, I forgot you had it rough in the war. Won't do that again. (Embraces) Let me help you gather the wood you've chopped.)

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman (Startles Phillip, he turning around quickly, ax in hand.) Sorry there! Didn't mean to scare ya...(grins) or maybe I did!

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman (Walks up behind Phillip as he is chopping wood at the barn. Frozen breath shooting from his nostrils like a powerful bull.)

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

(Looks at east hill of property. His horses loyally waiting to enter the safety of corral and barn for the night.)

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]

@Phil_Brinkman Pop is doing better. Saw him walking up the road into town earlier, doing his jig to Old Dan Tucker. Supper is almost ready.

[Isaiah, Jr. *TH* @IsaiahEdwardsJr]
