LOL Makes you wonder what life was like "back in the day" before sports was so prevalent and tv was in every household. Maybe that's why I enjoy writing historicals so much. LOLLOL Every time Dick Vitale comes on I just want to run screaming from the room. But thankfully March is almost over. So glad you enjoyed the post!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-16013920234747281942011-03-28T18:54:46.439-05:002011-03-28T18:54:46.439-05:00Cheryl, Excellent excerpt.

You are absolutely right! Of course...Hey Caroline,<br />You are absolutely right! Of course, so many of them were HOME all the time rather than going TO work somewhere that I guess a lot of it was just being able to have the time to cut the wood, etc. and finding the manpower to help get it done. So glad you enjoyed the excerpt.

One thing you overlook...Cheryl, I love the excerpt. One thing you overlooked is that it also meant the hero was doing better financially so that he could afford to spend time and resources to create a larger home. And I agree with Kaed--a room with a door is necessary!

There were three of us in the back seat and we drove all the way from Oklahoma to California, Florida, Canada, etc. When my 2 kids were younger we did a few road trips, too, and really enjoyed them. But as far as living in a one room cabin...I think I would hate the lack of privacy!LOL And I think I would go stir crazy. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-32720539582865998962011-03-28T12:20:46.693-05:002011-03-28T12:20:46.693-05:00Cheryl - Enjoyed your post and excerpt.

Entire families living and sleeping in one room? I can't get my husband to drive cross-country with me and our boys by car. Too noisy for him; he'd rather fly and meet us at the desination.
