Cabin Changes During the '80s

Shortly after the Green Cabin was finished, or as finished as it would be, Margaret and Roy started on the Gray Cabin.  Before the paint was barely dry, a tornado blew through, destroying alot of their hard work.  Being of perservering natures, they worked to put back the pieces.  They would then move on to build a duplex next to the Green Cabin, later known as the Brown Cabin.  Around 1982, Margaret and Roy  decided to sell the Brown Cabin to Bill's parents, ending years of staying in the Green Cabin and listening to all the different levels of snoring from tired, alcohol infused bodies at night.  By 1989 Roy had passed on to the big lake in the sky, leaving Margaret older and tired of walking on a slope.  Bill still had fond memories of the Green Cabin and approached her to sell.  Her only way to sell was if he bought the Green Cabin and her cabin, soon to become known as the Gray Cabin.  The next years flew by with Bill's parents doing a major remodel to the Brown Cabin and Bill doing lots of cleaning, building seawalls, etc.  1996 brought about many changes, with the youngest daughter about to graduate from highschool, we put the old house in Versailles up for sale and set about work on a major face lift on Margaret's old home place. She had moved on to Sedalia, Missouri.  The day after graduation we packed up and headed back to the lake!  We had now lived in Laurie, Gravois Mills, Versailles, and now Rocky Mount.  It seemed we had tried to circle the lake in a manner of speaking, actually we were just coming back to the spot where we had shared many great moments in time, ready to share more!
