From almost the beginning of our relationship, Bruce and I have talked about living in a log home someday. Antiques and handcrafted objects are among our passions, which would look great in our dream home by a lake. So, as we work toward that goal, we’ve had the fabulous opportunity to write for Log Home Living.
The magazine has a wonderful column called Great Places, and over the last couple of years, we’ve been able to highlight Ogden, Utah, Talkeetna, Alaska, and Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks as among the Great Places to build and live in a log home.
What a combination of our passions! Although I have to admit, there are times I find myself incredibly depressed after being in a great place like Brown County Indiana, where there are more log homes per capita than any other county in the U.S.
Sometimes our dreams of building our log home seem so far away. But 25 years ago, when I sold my first freelance story, the dream of making a full-time living at this and traveling the world writing for newspapers and magazines seemed far away as well.
So until we can invite you to celebrate an open house in our own log home, perhaps you’ll enjoy reading about some of the places where people do live happily in log homes. Find Log Home Living in most bookstores or on-line at www.loghomeliving.com.
In the March issue, we featured Lynchburg, Tennessee.
April is Nebraska City, Nebraska.
And May is Brown County Indiana.
We hope you enjoy where our dreams take you.
Never give up on your dreams, Diana. Sometimes, they are closer than you think!
