HAINAngel2000	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 09:26:48 AM Yup the house we purchased this year as posted before used to be a school. It has large windows and has its original hard wood floors. It was built in 1920. The original sign for the school is upstairs. Very cool! Anyway We are considering naming our home. The school was called "Rocky Point School" the road we live on is called Calapooia. Anyway were not sure what to name our farm? We will be raising chickens. We get alot of wildlife. Anyway Any suggestions? Website: http://Heavenlyangelsinneed.com Email: info@heavenlyangelsinneed.com Bereavement: http://Heavenlyangelsinneed.org Blog: http://Heavenlyangelsinneed.blogspot.com/

iloveprims	Posted - Jul 09 2008 : 3:22:32 PM I love the windows, they are to die for and the house is beautiful inside and out. Glad you kept Rocky Point in the name. http://wantingtobeme.blogspot.com
Linder	Posted - Apr 29 2008 : 09:49:48 AM Yep, aside from it being "The little red schoolhouse" I'm glad you kept the name. It's a charming place! "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom"
Hideaway Farmgirl	Posted - Apr 25 2008 : 12:20:10 PM I'm glad you kept the original name in there; and you've made that old schoolhouse into a beautiful home! Jo "Wish I had time to work with herbs all day!"

KYgurlsrbest	Posted - Apr 23 2008 : 1:23:23 PM That's just such a great house, Mary!!! And that old sign is WAY cool! Maybe you could utilize the district number is someway... All of the houses I lived in over in England had names, even the smallest thatched roof cottage. The last house I lived in was Trehane Farm, and before that, it was Dovecoat cottage.

ruralfarmgirl	Posted - Apr 23 2008 : 09:56:36 AM I love heathers comments above.. good one! Rene~Prosser Farmgirl " Plant goodness, harvest the fruit of loyalty, plow the new ground of knowledge. Hosea 10:12
HAINAngel2000	Posted - Apr 23 2008 : 09:52:47 AM Sherry, Calapooia was the name of some Native American Indians they were called the "Calapooia Indians". Even that name has a history!! I love the name of the river "Nottaway" how cool is that!!! And Libbie "Quail Cross" that is cool too. I love neat names! Its so hard. Here is a picture of the original sign http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/hainangel2000/l_95530ba12329bce4c2c2294f2e99d8-2.jpg And a picture of the house itself: http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/hainangel2000/7073809-1.jpg You all have fantastic idea's!

Libbie	Posted - Apr 23 2008 : 08:49:23 AM You know, I just like the name "Rocky Point." I lived in a house called "Quail Crossing" during most of middle school and high school, and I just loved it. It was in the city, but on a couple of acres in the middle of a block. I really like named houses and farms... I agree - now that I even KNOW the word Calapooia, I can't stop thinking about it, however! XOXO, Libbie "Farmgirl Sister #10," and proud of it!!!
Betty J.	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 7:11:41 PM How about the Farm at Rocky Point?
chicken necker	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 7:04:18 PM Yeah, but CALAPOOIA sticks out doesn't it? Something like Calapooia Point or Calapooia Rock Farm? If you are going to market anything, it would grab the attention of passersby. Yes, I'd be part of the funkier bunch of us all. ;) Heehee, that reminds me of something... Once, when my husband and I were traveling through North Carolina, we crossed over a river called "Nottaway". I started giggling. (it was a long trip and I get like that). Anyway, I said to him..."You know how most rivers are named with the Native American name for them, if Angelisized version?" He goes..Well, yeah? Then why is this one named Nottoway?" I said, "Because when the English came here and asked if the river led to riches, the chief said " Not a way!"

HAINAngel2000	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 4:39:30 PM All of these are WONDERFUL idea's. Yes the name Calapooia is silly huh? Hum I am thinking now!!

KYgurlsrbest	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 10:00:38 AM Because the name Calapooia makes me laugh (a lot), I don't think I'd go with that. I like Nancy's idea of utilizing Rocky Point in the name, since that's what it's been known as for a long time. Rocky Point Ranch Rocky Point Farm Rocky Point Homestead Something like that :) Farmgirl Sister #80, thanks to a very special farmgirl from the Bluegrass..."She was built like a watch, a study in balance ... with a neck and head so refined, like a drawing by DaVinci"...

catscharm74	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 09:58:32 AM I would keep the sign as is, kinda like where learning and living come together, especially if you are into organics or the environment. Cheers, Heather FARMGIRL #90
Nancy Gartenman	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 09:38:13 AM I would say,"ROCKY POINT FARM" THEN YOU COULD STILL USE THAT SCHOOL SIGN. NANCY JO www.Nancy-Jo.blogspot.com
