Louis and I went back to the old home site of our cabin to pick up close to 200 year old rock. One entrance to Mr Hyde's farm goes over a creek with a wonderful old bridge adorned with a canopy of trees. For some reason this spot took me back to my Grandad Patton's farm as a child when excitment in a child's life was the smell of silage, grazing cows, milk machines, and hard working men. Looking at the home place and remembering what it was a few weeks ago, made me sad. Things do not stay the same and that childhood and Granddad's farm are gone, too. Then, I looked at Jeremy, and see a young boy learning from those who know how to WORK and I see this wonderful cabin coming to life again because of a man who has been taught this dying art and who is now teaching this generation. Thank you Jimmy, Thersa,and Jeremy for your hard work and for keeping history alive.

I just hate it that that farm is dying, but am so glad that you and Louis have part of its history. You will preserve its bones and fill it once again with people beauty and grace. Many more stories will be told and, many more memories made. You've already made great friends with its builders.
By the way, I'm also glad that I have a piece of that history too! Thank you for the part of the staircase that would fit into my old cabin. I'm excited!
Merry
