Porter Cabin
This is the colonial log home built by Wm Porter I near Lexington, VA. circa 1740. It was purchased, disassembled, moved by rail and reassembled on a ranch outside of San Antonio, TX. It is now inside SA buffering the barrio and a country club area. The overhanging front porch was on the original structure.

In 2005, my husband, Gary, and I moved to Colorado to build a log cabin on his family land. (He's the great-great-grandson of German immigrants who homesteaded a beautiful valley in the foothills of the Rockies. We have two hounds: a male Schnoodle named Jake. No children. We're members of the Evergreen Lutheran church, a wonderful, loving community of Christians. www.EvergreenLutheran.org I knit prayer shawls and chemo caps at the church and am learning to make quilts with a group called Piecemakers.
