The old house is the reason we have so many windows in this house!:-) Felt like we lived under the ground for 20 years. Although, they are supposed to be very ecologically friendly.<br /><br />The picture reminds me of Willa Cather's books.PAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891387278850772808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437060109079443112.post-89811611780271205342009-09-21T09:31:46.030-05:002009-09-21T09:31:46.030-05:00When I was a little girl, we traveled and camped i...When I was a little girl, we traveled and camped in the high country in Colorado and visited many ghost towns. I have always felt so fortunate for that experience because I could go into, see and touch some of the original homesteader homes and get an idea of what it might have been like.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing the photograph, Rose Mary!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437060109079443112.post-3698396988397578992009-09-21T08:07:21.075-05:002009-09-21T08:07:21.075-05:00I cannot imagine what a sod house must be like... ...I cannot imagine what a sod house must be like...

Can you imagine living in a house like that?

Wouldn't you love to be able to browse through an old Dry Goods store from that era and look at the fabric?!<br /><br />Tammy, the girls are not related to me.

Another thing I noticed is how Bold the fabric of some of those dresses is - they must have been ahead of their time- sure doesn't look like they favored calico prints like they did on the LHOTP tv show.<br /><br />Wanted to tell you at my house that isn't stained glass it is a paint called gallery glass it is maid by plaid you can get it online or at Michaels and Hobby Lobby.RaNae @EweCreekCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562533626386001489noreply@blogger.com
