You've survived the move -- it must be a relief to have some order in your life again. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I really regret that I never photographed that log house. I'm sorry that it burned but I couldn't have done anything to prevent that. However, I could at least have got a picture of it while it was standing!Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-5445147508498020482007-11-01T13:19:00.000-05:002007-11-01T13:19:00.000-05:00Hi Genevieve - I hope you are doing well...that's ...Hi Genevieve - I hope you are doing well...that's really a sad post about the log cabin. We recently moved to Madison County, Illinois - just a few blocks away we have a historic log cabin. You've inspired me to get a photo of it (it's from the 1840's and the local fiber guild holds their meetings there). It's a lovely old place, and part of the history - the town would not be the same without it.Peggi Meyer Graminskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294088838325576158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-48454578493221062152007-10-31T15:27:00.000-05:002007-10-31T15:27:00.000-05:00Mark,Neglect is another destroyer you can add to t...Mark,<BR/><BR/>Neglect is another destroyer you can add to the list. For me, it was painful to see the big wooden barn in disrepair on the ranch where I grew up. It is probably beyond salvage now. To me, that barn represented the age of workhorses. They really <I>don't</I> build barns like that anymore.<BR/><BR/>I see some of the fine old buildings in downtown Hopkinsville deteriorating to the point that they'll never be fixed. In another 10 or 20 years, they'll be declared a public hazard and torn down. It's such a shame.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-18902627652271244212007-10-31T07:05:00.000-05:002007-10-31T07:05:00.000-05:00It's sad.

It's not that there was anything particularly special about it. It's just that every time something like that happens, we forget a little bit more about the people that came before us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
