Oh the joys . . . and sorrows of living
in a 130 year old cabin . . .
I've always longed to, you see, and my
guy made it possible as I don't think I
could make it here on my own.
I bought the cabin 9 years ago thinking
it would be an ideal place for my women's
circle to gather, hold the odd birthday party
and meet with family . . . and indeed, it has
been all of that.
Three years ago, getting my affairs in order
after some serious health issues, we moved
here permanently at my behest. It has been
nothing if not a challenge, and my guy is a
HERO; make no mistake!
It has been a step back into yesteryear,
which I have indeed loved! Nonetheless,
that doesn't change the issues. At this
point, our pipes have been frozen for 9
days; no sign of unthawing. I purchased
a couple of heaters to put in the well and
under the cabin. 40 watt lightbulbs help
in the well. 'Tis quite the ordeal.
Praise the gods for Home Depot, even
Wally World . . . we have bottled water,
each other and all is well. Do pray for
a thaw! However, wouldn't mind a
shower!
live in yesteryear
thinking twice about modern
nah i like it here
