Home again....

Yep. Home, again. I really didn't want to leave the cabin yesterday, but the real world was calling and I had to come home. Garry got the shower installed. It's only been sitting there in the cabin for about 8 years. That's right, I said 8 years. It may be 10 years, but I'm giving him that one. I mean, after that long, what's two more years? Ha! When I say we have a cabin, I do mean cabin. We have 10 acres and it sits on the AuSable River. Garry's Grandparents bought it before he was born. They paid 10 bucks an acre back then. It's only two rooms and the bath. The main cabin area, the larger room, has two beds, the kitchen, and old fuel oil heater, a kitchen table. The front room is mostly windows and although it's not a porch, we refer to it as the porch. There is another bed in there, couch, tv, wardrobe. I love it up there. It's in the middle of nowhere, on a dead end two track road. It's not that far from the town, but it feels like it is. I sewed while Garry worked on the shower. My plan was to make some new curtains for the cabin, but he had all that area full of tools, the toilet, the sink, the door....you know. Stuff! I figured it best for me to just stay out of the way if I actually wanted it finished. On Sunday night a couple of guy friends showed up. Ben, from church, and Pat, who I refer to as my Husband # 2. He and Garry have been friends forever and he's one of the best people I have ever known. They rode dirtbikes Monday and Tuesday, so I had peace and quiet for two days. I cleaned. And cleaned some more. I stopped going to the cabin about 5 or 6 years ago, so it hadn't been really cleaned in a long time. It's much better now. So..I took some pics.....My weekend in photos.....
My sewing area!

The cabin....



1 and 2 cut down a tree that was half dead. It was close to the cabin and in the fenced in area we have for the dogs.

Twas a great weekend. I can't wait to get rid of those green curtains. Next trip up there....

Sounds like a fun weekend! I would love to have a cabin to escape to and sew.

How wonderful to have a place to "escape" to. How much fun to decorate too. Sounds like a great weekend. Mine was a bit too crazy.

Now why didn't I come from people who years ago had built a cabin? I'd love to have a place like that to go to. The peace and quiet would be wonderful.

Hey, looks great! I like the way you have rearranged everything! Looking forward to another trip up!

I think it's great that you're going up there again. You'll really liven up the place. AND, you could put QUILTS on all the beds!!

I loved seeing the quilts on the beds! We have a friend who has a cabin in Laverne (sp?) Close to Mio. His cabin looks a lot like yours. It is so nice to visit there!
