In 1983, we moved onto our property at Indianola, Washington, with great hopes of building a amazing home! However, at Christmastime that year, we were without electricity and running water. It's okay. That was the plan, in the beginning. We had wood heat and propane lighting, as well as the use of a camping trailer with all of its amenities! Rob tore down a chicken coop; and with the help of several friends, an addition to the trailer, which became "The Cabin," was built before Christmas.
We got a lovely Christmas tree and put it up in our addition. A young woman at church was married shortly before Christmas, using a burgundy color theme. After the reception, the family gave all of the decorations to us. We had a beautiful tree, covered with burgundy bows, sans electricity. That was a favorite tree of mine.
