My Cabin In the Mountains

[blazer]

Come join me in the cabin in the mountains. Come sit beside me and have a hot cup of coffee or hot cocoa. Listen to the crackling fire. Just relax and leave your cares behind. Maybe we will go for a hike in the woods. We will have to watch out for the bears. Later, we will sit on the porch, drinking sweet tea, listening to the crickets chirping in the night air.

[chichimama]

Don't worry about the bears. My dog will scare them away. :D

Your cabin is really beautiful. I'm there! I'll leave the wild baby boys, the dishes, the laundry in the dryer and take a load off~
Thanks!

The original part of our farmhouse is a log cabin built in 1822. I wonder what this area looked like then... Can you imagine?

We really are travelers just passing through. So many stories told in things we find on the land and in the barn.

Letters! My daughter found one in the barn from a local fellow who died tragically awhile back. Seems a friend of his lived here at one time. We found a letter our ill-fated neighbor wrote when he was a young man overseas in the service. My husband gave it to his mother who still lives local. She was moved. The letter was in amazing condition. It looked like it was opened once, put back and forgotten for decades ..until the good Lord saw it was time to put it in her hands.

Blessings, all. I've got to get back to my old cabin and stir the stew that simmering on the stove.

We'll be fine. :) You don't mind if I camp in the yard, do you? We're camping fanatics. Pitch a tent and light a small fire. Roast some hot dogs and tell ghost stories while breathing in that cool, mountain air.

Go right ahead! We are a family here! I can smell the hotdogs and marshmellows roasting now! I am listening intently, as you tell a chilling ghost story. All of a sudden, we hear a crunching of the leaves beside us! We turn in horror only to see your sweet, little dog. How could such a small animal make such a loud noise?

Log Cabin

Looking back I remember our log cabin in the pines
So many happy memories I can recall to mind.
A big round dining table with knobby looking feet
The food upon it was fit for any king to eat
By the window Granny sat in her chair of birch and cane
Watching for any company that might drive up the lane.
The toddler's would all try to climb on Granny's knee
While I watched the blackbirds eat the cherries from the trees.
I remember that relatives came to visit from afar
To gather in the parlor to hear Dad strum his guitar.
We all sat at the dining table, which was quite a feat,
Praised Granny for her cooking as they began to eat.
Those are the times that I remember at my own table now
Where the Granny is myself, and time has flown somehow.
But my memory hasn't dimmed so very much I find.
For it travels very often to our log cabin in the pines.

:)) Yes we have been at the top in the summer when the sun is shining and the temps are moderate and in minutes we are surrounded by thick fog and cold. Truly something else. But the views are amazing although the ride up is hairy at times.

Every been to Up Country Saloon in North Conway? Do you drive the Kagamangus Highway? I love that ride.

When I go up to NH with my family, we stay in Pittsburg up on Route 3 about 20 miles south of the Canadian Border.

I don't know the roads by name, but to get to Mt. Washington from Pittsburg it takes about 1 hour 15 mins travelling south... Route 3 to route 145 to route 26 to route 16. The entrance to the Auto Road is on 16.

The round trip from the place we stay to the Mt. takes about 5 hours, including hanging out at the top for a bit. It was only in the upper 50's (in the MIDDLE OF AUGUST) at the base of the mountain.

Good thing I had my heated gloves.

When I get back from our familly vacation, I need a vacation from my vacation! :think: The best vacation is when mama gets to go to the beach with her girlfriends!!!:mrgreen:

I LOVE camping and riding on my husband's motorcycle! Camping now is an absolute nightmare with the kids at such tender ages. I miss the bike too! I'm glad my dad and my husband can go out for rides on the Blue Ridge together.

Oh you are way up. We stayed at Twin Mountain which is further north than Conway when the kids were small and we were going to Santa's Village and Storyland. Now we stay on either side of the Kangamangus Highway which is at Rte 16. We are about 2 hour away from the south. I bet you needed those gloves.

We had that happen years ago when we use to camp in tents. Of course we were young and had partied some that night around the campfire so we forgot to secure the food and munchies we had. All gone!:doh:Bear food.

can you all think of some favoite songs to sing around the fire on a cool or cold evening in the mountains?


There Ain’t No Bugs On Me was a fun one when the kids were small.

[AmericanMuscle]

So, jog your memory and post some of your cabin stories!


If the walls could only talk. An elderly gent stopped by here awhile back and told us he was born here. I'm sure this cabin saw many lives begin and end.

Our bedroom is in the loft where the beams and logs are exposed. I look up and think about the people who cut those trees and transformed them into a home. Did they ever imagine the cabin would stand in 2008?

The steps that go upstairs to our loft have an enterance way. I wanted a door for that space. One day my husband comes in with the original door. He found it in the barn. It is a beautiful antique. I could not have found a better fit! Doubtful the "upstairs" was part of the original structure, but who knows?

It really intrigues me on a daily basis~

After supper, how about we go out to the barn and dance to some fiddle playin and clog a little? Yes, I know how to clog. Maybe American will play her guitar for us too.

Love to! I'm working on a song right now to thank and praise our Lord. He carried me through a very difficult time recently and I want to sing His praises from the very top of the mountain.

The music is down but the words....I'll have to pray on them. They'll come when He's ready.

[blazer]

Yes, they will. :hug:

awe, AmericanMuscle, this was so wonderful for me to read.....
and yes, the words will come when He is ready.....I'm sure he's already speaking to you, you just have to have him help you put all of that in a way that you can share it with others. What a blessing you are.......
