She wrote a long book, a diary really, from which this is one passage:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Move, to Union, West Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Warrenton was growing fast, as more people moved farther out from the city (Washington, DC) causing heavier commuting traffic, plans for new highways, and all changes that come to expanding areas on the fringes of big cities. Dave was retired, didn\u2019t have commuting worries, and wanted to move even farther out, preferably with views and privacy and low population. He found our mountaintop advertised in the Washington Post on February 27, 1977: \u201c538 ac. w. new 3 rm. hunting camp, $225 per ac.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A few days after seeing the ad, he drove to Union and stayed overnight in Alderson at an old hotel on Main Street, and spent the next day walking over most of the 538 acres. He loved it from the start, looking toward the mountain views through the bare trees and he could <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id46608-grandfather-says-grandfathers-house-and-custom-built-stairs-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visualize the best homesite<\/a>, how the driveway would face south so the winter sun would melt the snow, where the living room would be, the kitchen, etc. He was impressed with the land, the cave (an interesting fringe benefit), the friendly people and well-behaved children he saw in Union\u2019s stores and a couple of schools he visited and he was anxious for the rest of us to see everything, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introduction to Tobacco Spitting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few weeks later we all went to see the property with the real estate agent, following them in our car. Their driver\u2019s side door opened and closed every few minutes and I couldn\u2019t see what was happening, but later caught on that the driver was spitting tobacco juice out the door, something new to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Little Red Cabin and the Camping Trailer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While we built our house, we assumed that we could rent a house nearby until our new house was ready to occupy. <em>Not!<\/em> There were no rental houses in the Union area, and we didn\u2019t want to go as far as Lewisburg because we all planned to pitch in building the house, doing whatever we each could do every day, and didn\u2019t want to waste time driving back and forth. So we took another look at the red cabin in the valley (the \u201chunting camp\u201d in the ad). Since it had no bathroom or hot water, we decided to buy a small second-hand trailer with a hot water heater, bathroom, small kitchen, and some additional sleeping space, and we set it up in front of the cabin. The trailer and cabin combined gave us plenty of room until the new house was ready to move into.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dave had arranged to have a steel building erected near the house site and when the building was ready, we hired two drivers and rented two U-Haul-it trucks, and the drivers moved us from Warrenton to Union and unloaded all our stuff into the steel building, and from there we took things we needed down to the valley to the red house.<\/p>\n<p><em>To be continued&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>About the Author: RD Blakeslee is a nonagenarian in West Virginia who built his net worth by only investing in that which can be enjoyed during acquisition and throughout life, as opposed to papers in a drawer, like stocks and bonds.
