The buyers were told the strawbale home was designed by Architect Marley Porter. To verify the claim the buyers contacted the Architect.

"I've designed over a thousand homes, maybe some dozen in New Mexico. I'm sorry but I'm just not sure. Magdalena, you say? Does it happen to be made out of straw bales."

"Yes", the buyers encouraged.

"Yes!" the Architect replied. Had no idea it ever got built but yes. I remember." Many special memories returned to the old man. "You'll love the home. Actually, I think the home will love you back even more. In joy, enjoy her."

Sometimes we are blessed to be reminded of the good we have done. Lives are touched by our intent. Be your own Living Architect. Construct your life one bale of giving straw at a time.
