A Look Inside an Early Log House:
Outside an Early Log House:
Weakened by diseases. broken treaties , and the loss of tribal lands to European settlers, many Catawba people moved westward into the North Carolina Mountains where they were greatly influenced by their Cherokee neighbors, This cabin known as a Log House (ca. 1860) contains European-style fumiture, crockery, and other items that reflect the time period. It reflects the continued assimilation of the Catawba People into European settler culture and is similar to many 19th century homes found in non-native seftlements of the mountains and piedmont.
These photos of an Early Log House and its contents are examples of how the Catawba Indians lived and how European culture influenced their everyday existence.

Cee’s Black and White Challenge:
In my neighborhood this time of the year I don’t hear or see many birds. So when I took my grandson, Coleman for a short walk out the back door, I was delighted to hear a bird singing. Even though storms may pass our way, I am blessed and thankful for what God has given me. I am thankful for the blessing of hearing the beautiful bird’s song.
“Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn’t people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?”
– Rose Kennedy
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
~ Victor Hugo
“Every bird, every tree, every flower reminds me what a blessing and privilege it is just to be alive.”
~ Marty Rubin
“Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.”
~ John Burroughs
God Bless. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.

Picture was taken in the late 1960’s, probably somewhere between 1966 – 1968. The picture was taken in San Diego, California where we lived on South Meadowbrook. I’m not sure if this was in May or December. The bicycle was a present I received. It was my first 24” bike after my old stingray. I believe it was a Schwinn. I was excited to receive it back then. Back when times seemed simpler and a kid could just be a kid and have fun.
Thank you! Remember I appreciate y’all. Enjoy life.

Have a blessed day! Always good to look 👀 at things differently occasionally. Brings about new perspectives and admiration for the beauty around us.
