There's no place like HOME.
Can't imagine living in a dug out.
I am blessed to live in my old stone house just the way it is.
I came across these pics on the internet and wanted to share
....there's no place like home!
And my name isn't even Dorothy (Wizard Of Oz),
but I do have some red ruby slippers that I'm clicking in.
God bless our Homes.
Inside and out,

| 1875-1889 L.A. Mead Family Dug Out in Ford County, Kansas |
L.A. Mead Family stand outside their dug out located near Bloom, Ford County. Dug outs and sod houses were common on the high plains of Kansas due to lack of wood and other natural resources. This Family was fortunate enough to have glass windows, wood siding and stove pipe. These amenities would have been considered luxuries by many pioneers out west.

If you had to pick one to live in....which one would you choose?
