Inspiration on the Road

 "Let's go back to Twin Lakes, " said Mr. Pinker. 


"Stop at the little log cabin on the side of the road 1st though, " I replied as I batted my eyes. 

We had eyed a dilapidated  log cabin on the side of the highway.


 The logs were filled with nails- perhaps to keep the chinking in once upon a time? 


 I like seeing old structures of days gone by. 


Oh what tales this old house could tell.  


As we headed to camp, I thought about a project that awaits me back home- my quarter log cabin blocks.

  

I sure do wish I had brought these blocks to work on. 

 As we made our way to Twin Lakes, the rain fell. It would make for a restful night. 

Thank you for the sweet visit.

Thank you for the sweet visit.

Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy and my dear Granny who lived in an old log cabin.  Love and miss you, Amo and Granny.

  3. What a beautiful camping spot! That looks like a pretty roomy cabin. What a view they must have had, although probably not much time to enjoy it. Love your travel photos so much!

  4. It's fun and amazing to think how people lived back then isn't it. This one looks larger than most we have come upon in AZ.

  6. I hope that log cabin had lots of happy voices echoing through it when it was used. It's too bad there isn't some way to hear the stories; but, isn't it fun to imagine who lived there and what they did?--TerryK@OnGoingProjects

  11. Makes a person wonder, doesn't it? Too bad there is no sign to at least tell you about this sad old structure. Your log cabin house stitches are so much happier. Another heart!

  12. I like old structures, too. It's dreamy to ponder the life that took place within the walls. I have a pretty good imagination, so I can come up with some wild stories! Enjoy your travels. I love the little log cabin stitched piece!! :)
