Home sweet home

Home sweet home
I was 68 years old when I built this log cabin to live in on my 40 acres in Oklahoma. The only power tool I used was a chain saw to fell the trees. The rest was all done with hand tools. The logs were squared off with the foot adze I am holding in the picture and the logs were then skidded through the woods by a jackass (ME). Some had to be dragged a quarter mile. The only help I had was a friend helping with the two top courses of logs. The wall was too high for me to do it by myself at that point. Everything is fitted together. The only nails are the ones that hold the roofing on. JUST LISTEN TO THAT OL' BOY BRAG. ;-] And look at all the junk he flung out the door. Why I believe that's a real live redneck.

Alzheimer Gal still hanging in there

They never did pin down the cause of her seizure but she's in rehab at a fascility in Lemon Grove. It remains to be seen how much of her they can bring back but they did a great job last time this happened. I hope you will forgive me if I abandon this story for now and substitute parts from my one and only published book "The Way of the Spirit" ISBN 0935127100 . It's been out of print for some time but you can find it if you google it. I'll try to get the introduction in tomorrow; Hoody
