This photo shows the true meaning of "All dressed up and no place to go!"
Next time we think we have it rough, remember these folks in 1910 out in the middle of nowhere on the prairie...20 miles from the nearest town. And yes, that is their house, where they spent the winter...Oye!
This is a few years later...they've added a real peaked roof house to the original homestead shanty.
And here is the big house built in the 1920's when wheat prices were good.
Interestingly, we got an email from a man in Rapid (City) and he asked our permission to use the photo of the folks pushing the car out of the gumbo! Don't know how he saw my blog!
