LivingforGod, I know my Oregon coast! There's no better place. :-) Deb, thanks for visiting! Christie, I love to meet new neighbors, I'm so glad you stopped by! Our rural areas are wonderful, even if shrinking. Mandi, Of course, biscuits as well. :-) JacciM, when I passed the little house yesterday, I thought of your comment - it does look unstable!

And then the Veteran's Day parade pictures. Is your son in the homeschool cub scout group? We almost joined it but decided not this year. Yes, it was the juniper trees that gave it away.

One day I went by and a cow had somehow made his way *into* the house, and had his head poking through a window - of course, my camera was nowhere to be found! Mrs. Darling, I hope this little home is still standing 100 years from now - it's a good reminder of what our *needs* really are. Comedy Plus, yeah, I pull over for stuff like this, too. I try to always carry my camera in my purse, but try not to hold up traffic! Raggedy, Thank you - I've taken about a dozen pictures of this old house over the past few years, and tried to pick the ones that did it most justice. Diana, exactly! It's all about perspective and expectations. e-Mom, my family didn't build this - oh, but that would be a good story to tell! I'm trying to find out more history on the house - the elderly couple that owned this land for half a century or more have both died, and unfortunately, a lot of history died with them. But there's families in these parts that go waaay back, so I'm hoping to dig up some information. I also love historic buildings and their stories! Renae, yep, that's an electrical box! I heard that this house was inhabited until the 1940s... And your concrete floors - well, that's the latest high fashion, so you're in good company. :-) Riley, that’s my favorite, too.

Oh, the things we take for granted. At least, I have a floor, even it part of it is concrete and plywood. :) I can't image sweeping dirt. Is that an electrical box on the outside!?

Or was it on the property when you bought it? I love historic buildings. They're rich with story. I'd love to know more about this one. :~D Did a member of your family build this cabin?
