A Walton Family Adventure

 Olivia and Grandma Walton are discussing Elizabeth's latest obsession...Nancy Drew books.

Mary Ellen has told her mother that Nancy Drew actually lives in the Borough of Hittyville Acres and they have become friends.

Wait until Elizabeth hears that bit of news.

Meanwhile...

 Elizabeth is almost done reading the latest Nancy Drew book and can't wait for the next one to be published.

 Elizabeth announces she is going to write Nancy Drew a letter and let the author/detective know how much she loves her mystery stories.

 Jason informs his sister she doesn't need to write Nancy Drew a letter at all.

 Mary Ellen shared with Jason she has become friends with Nancy Drew and she lives in Hittyville Acres.

Later...

 Elizabeth asks John Boy if he would drive her to Nancy Drew's house as soon as possible.

John Boy thinks Mary Ellen should introduce her to the famous detective.  They are friends, after all.

And then...

 Elizabeth cannot believe her eyes!  Nancy Drew is in her very own yard!  She looks just like her picture on the book jacket.

 Mary Ellen introduces Nancy Drew to her siblings and mentions Elizabeth is a big fan of her books and her own brother, John Boy, is also a writer.

 Elizabeth is speechless...

 John Boy had no idea Nancy Drew was such a beautiful as well as talented young woman.

A bit later...

 John Boy and Nancy Drew can't stop talking about their common interest in writing and for that matter, everything else under the sun!

 Elizabeth wanted to ask Nancy Drew about becoming a Junior Detective, but guesses she will have to wait until John Boy isn't around.

 Mary Ellen was going to show Nancy Drew around Walton's Mountain.  The author is thinking about her next mystery and thought it might be fun to have some of the story set on a mountainside.

 It obviously won't be today.

 John Boy calls out to his sisters he is going to show Nancy Drew around Walton's Mountain.

Mary Ellen asks Elizabeth if she would like to go to Ike's and get an ice cream cone.

Elizabeth thinks that's a grand idea!

~Spending time with Nancy Drew will have to wait until another day~
