Good Reading

A "Sears" house!

During my road trip I've been reading a series of books written by Christian author named Lauraine Snelling. These books, part of the Daughters of Blessing series, take place in a fictional town named Blessing, North Dakota. I was especially interested in this series because...

They take place in North Dakota and my husband's grandparents came from South Dakota, not that far away.

They mention the building of a flour mill in the town -- Sweetie's Grandfather was a flour miller in the small South Dakota town where his father was born.

In a couple of books it is mentioned that the characters order a house from Sears Roebuck. The house is shipped to them via rail and then is put together, "like a puzzle."

During our visit to Savannah we were shown a "Sears house." I was thrilled to see a house that actually was purchased from Sears -- close to 100 years ago, and still standing. The tour guide mentioned that the windows had been put in upside-down when the house was assembled. They are still upside down 100 years later!
