When an infection sets in, Ricky and Kate become even more concerned.\n\n5 Star acting all around to Ricky Schroder, Joel Higgins, and Erin Gray.\n\nI rated this episode 5/5 Trains\n\nJoin me next week for a light hearted episode S2E5: Mr. President, which aired on November 19, 1983.\n\nIn this episode After being elected student body president, Ricky has to deal with a rival school's vandalism, and daydreams that he is the President of the United States.\n\nHere are the books I talked about at the beginning of the podcast episode:\n\nThe Trouble With Tuck By: Theodore Taylor (Available On Audible as a Audiobook)\n\nAn inspiring story of a dog who triumphs against all odds, by the bestselling author of The Cay.\n\nHelen adored her beautiful golden Labrador from the first moment he was placed in her arms, a squirming fat sausage of creamy yellow fur. As her best friend, Friar Tuck waited daily for Helen to come home from school and play. He guarded her through the long, scary hours of the dark night. Twice he even saved her life.\n\nNow it's Helen's turn. No one can say exactly when Tuck began to go blind. Probably the light began to fail for him long before the alarming day when he raced after some cats and crashed through the screen door, apparently never seeing it. But from that day on, Tuck's trouble--and how to cope with it--becomes the focus of Helen's life. Together they fight the chain that holds him and threatens to break his spirit, until Helen comes up with a solution so new, so daring, there's no way it can fail.\n\nOnce Was A Time By: Leila Sales (Only Available As A Physical Book That I Know Of, But I Could Be Wrong)\n\nIn the war-ravaged England of 1940, Charlotte Bromley is sure of only one thing: Kitty McLaughlin is her best friend in the whole world. But when Charlotte's scientist father makes an astonishing discovery that the Germans will covet for themselves, Charlotte is faced with an impossible choice between danger and safety. Should she remain with her friend or journey to another time and place? Her split-second decision has huge consequences, and when she finds herself alone in the world, unsure of Kitty's fate, she knows that somehow, some way, she must find her way back to her friend. Written in the spirit of classic time-travel tales, this book is an imaginative and heartfelt tribute to the unbreakable ties of friendship.\n\nWAYS TO FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SOCIAL MEDIA:\n\nFACEBOOK:\n\nTOGETHER, WE'RE GONNA FIND OUR WAY: AN UNOFFICIAL SILVER SPOONS PODCAST\n\nINSTAGRAM:\n\nSILVERSPOONSPODCAST\n\nGMAIL:\n\nSILVERSPOONSPODCAST@GMAIL.COM\n\nHave a great week everyone!
