When i was a girl, my picture of that time period was just like the Little House Books, which i adored and still adore!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005482538480063372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-70193464422215196022013-08-08T20:35:33.321-04:002013-08-08T20:35:33.321-04:00One who live here is happyOne who live here is happy黄清华 Wong Ching Wahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059967570931100163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-33415341696295851972013-08-08T20:21:59.249-04:002013-08-08T20:21:59.249-04:00We had a blackout the other night it only lasted f...We had a blackout the other night it only lasted for a few hours but it brings it home to you how hard life was before we had all the modern things.<br />Merle..........Merlesworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573975763012762631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-91371704474781402072013-08-08T20:07:35.767-04:002013-08-08T20:07:35.767-04:00I definitely enjoy my modern conveniences - althou...I definitely enjoy my modern conveniences - although I have always been fascinated by the pioneers.

That same B&B would rent the 1800's home down in the valley if you were feeling really adventuresome... No electricity, outdoor plumbing, etc. A young family with their 3 little kids stayed there that night and a storm hit. They came to breakfast the next morning incredibly shook up and the kids just wanted to go home.<br />McValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285808958951068897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-87699002053037890872013-08-08T11:10:52.712-04:002013-08-08T11:10:52.712-04:00I love old cabins and structures like this one.

We found it really was log when we tried to run electric wires, hard to do in log walls. They built the rest of the farm house additions with frame construction. I found that the old cabin part had a family with 7 kids and we use the space for 2 rooms and the hall and stairs. Must have been a close family for sure.
