Ceanna:
The description of your 70's home in the Berkshires sounds like an elk hunting cabin we used to go to every fall for 2 weeks. We LOVED the cabin with the wood stove, 50 yard "dash" to what the guys called the "sh__er" and us women called the "2 holer." We brought our water in by bucket from the spring, warmed water to do dishes and do personal clean ups and had a battery with a string of 3 or 4 light bulbs that we used ONLY a few minutes at night. We had a blast and enjoyed every second of our time there ....all 22 of us in a 100+ year old cabin that measured 20 x 20 with a loft on each side of the great room...but we KNEW we were there by choice and only for a week or two. As I said, going back in time is romantic (your mattress in front of the fireplace all cuddled up with your honey) but it's not for me for the long haul. Too arthritic, too old, too set in my comfy home!. Feathers :? :twisted:
