Sleeping Loft at the Cabin with the recently added "shelf that Daddy built".
The shelf in the picture above used to sit on the back porch at 110 Lamont Drive. Sheryl and Mike helped me load it for moving to the cabin back on May 22. It's been sitting on the porch at the cabin ever since, but today I managed to move it upstairs to it's intended location. My dad built this shelf from heavy plywood back in the late 60's. He painted it brown, and it became the focal point in our sparsely furnished living room. A 13" black and white television with rabbit ear antenna sat on the very top. A well-worn, heavily used set of The World Book Encyclopedia filled the first shelf from the top-right. Assorted other books joined the mix: The Best Loved Poems of the American People, a bird book that my brother loved, and The Holy Bible to name a few.
This shelf that Daddy built is no fine antique and wouldn't bring more than a few dollars at a yard sale, but it is a family heirloom in the truest sense.

Cool loft! We need to make a road trip for a cabin WOD:-)
Maybe someday, Meeks. I need to get some improvements done before it's ready for company. It's very rustic! I don't post pictures of the rustic part. ;-)
