"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.

Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy and my dear Granny who lived in an old log cabin. Love and miss you, Amo and Granny.
Oh, the stories that log cabin "charmer" could tell. I'd forgotten about your wee log cabin x-stitch chart. Stinkin' adorable!! Big, big hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteOh my, that log cabin! Would love to hear its stories! I love the tiny log cabin finish you featured, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for taking us along on your journey with you! I love to see what you are seeing including that very old cabin.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteThose old log cabins are such interesting places. Hopefully, you'll stay inspired with your log cabin blocks once you get home.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that log cabin!....it's so interesting
ReplyDeleteHugs
I love seeing old log cabins that are still standing! Hugs
ReplyDeleteYour Summer Cabin is sweet as can be. Once again you finished it up nicely. Enjoy your stay at Twin Lakes.
ReplyDeleteMakes 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!! :)
ReplyDeleteThose old structures are so intriguing! Glad you stopped and walked through it as you wondered about the people who might have lived there, Melisa. ♥
ReplyDeleteFun to see those old buildings and wonder who lived there! It looks like you have lots of sweet stitches that celebrate log cabins, too. Have a wonderful time at your next campsite!
ReplyDeleteHope you have Maroon Bells on your to see list. Those mountains are beautiful. There is a lake and hiking trails also. Enjoy your CO trip.
ReplyDeleteamazing stitches
