About Me
- Sunny
- I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West.
For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!
THANKS SO MUCH-PLEASE ENJOY!

It's very interesting dear Sunny, 1753, wow it's so long time!
Maybe this place is a kind of open wood museum or something like it?
I think people in that time could feel cold a lot!

Isn't it amazing how small homes used to be? I think it's neat that the town built this house for their bicentennial.
A rather cute looking old place. Guess back in those day's it did not offer much warmth on a cold and windy day. Does not look all that big to live in, either. Guess that you dealt with what you have.

I think if I'd lived then this is precisely the type of shelter I might have created to keep the elements at bay. Cold perhaps, and most likely leaky, but nonetheless a shelter from the ferocity of weather New England batters its residents with. Terrific post.
How sweet! I've lived in places that small - it's pretty cozy but nothing I couldn't handle again if required. It's quick to clean up anyway! ;o)
Absolutely fantastic! I can't really imagine raising a family in such tight quarters, but that surely teaches a lot of what we've lost along the way, like patience, understand, SHARING, CONSIDERATION, MANNERS! Great post
Sunny I love it and it does look like a hobbit house!

I love it. It's pretty small but the fact that any of them have stood this long is testament to our forefathers who really endured hardship. Saving it is a great thing for all of us.
Wonderful photo.
Happy Thanksgiving, Sunny. Enjoy!!
Its a beauty Sunny, these 1 roomed cottages are fantastic, how the family lived there, is beyond me.lol.
Oh, Sunny, this is so quaint !
I just love old little buildings such as this, I have always said, I could live in one....
We have an old log building on our town square, it was the first settler of the county.
Wonderful, I'm still smiling looking at your picture ;)
I love this house. I thought Silas Marner.
Wow---that is neat, Sunny, that someone reconstructed that old house. Amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Betsy
What a great house... I love the photo. Katie would have to do alot of downsizing to make that one work!
Happy Thanksgiving,
with love from Katie
(...and Glogirly too)
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Thanksgiving, Sunny. Lizzy :)
Nice photo! I'm just glad I don't have to live in something that small.
Nice little house!
