James is good at drawing up plans for things. He has drawn plans for the first cabin we will have here. He has made several different views, but I'll start Louisa, by showing you the one as seen from above.
It is just a one room cabin, 18 feet by 20 feet in round figures, so 360 square feet. I think this is a perfect number, as that is how many acres we have in our new home - 360 acres. Well, if you'd been living for six months in a covered wagon measuring 4 feet by ten feet, you would also think our cabin to be very roomy indeed. It will even have a fireplace.
