Remember when...it wasn't so long ago, but feels like an eternity to us...this was our little barn to be.
Oh, so many people told us we were nuts. What were we thinking?
And, we'll agree it was, well, scary indeed.
But then, our faith and lots of hard work on the part of everyone involved started to give it a glimmer of life.
The men doing the roof did some serious balancing acts, I admired their comfort and bravery at such heights.
We started to feel like it was not all for nothing. We had a vision and believed it could come to life...the ol' behemoth WAS going to be resurrected.
And here we are mere days from getting a closing date, we knew it could be done. All the hours and money that has gone into saving her was all so worth it when we see from whence we began. It's not quite done yet, but it's got such a great start.
We can't wait to hear music rebounding off the beams and posts and friends and family gathered around to celebrate the saving of this little piece of humble American history.
Our deepest and heartfelt thanks to our friends that have done so much to help, Gary, Laura and the Paul family, Julianna and the Dunwoody children for entertaining ours while we worked. A labor of love for many, and our hearts will never forget the love shown to us by these people. So much more was gained in this whole endeavor then just a house and barn needing attention, a home is being made and love has grown and we could never repay their selfless kindness. Stay tuned for more to come...Soon, it will be our homestead and we can't wait.
Realizing the dream, ~Peacemom
