Let's talk about Country Living

we would be classifies as living in the country. we only own 6 acres at our house and have a few neighbors but cant see the houses. surrounded by corn and lakes otherwise. Up untill lately their was no problem with my massive piles of scrap untill a a city boy moved out by us and complained to authorites. (so if you move dont be that guy). We are lucky as we only have to live 15 minutes from the nearest city to be rural it just so happens it has a scrap yard. gas does get a little more pricey with everyday life having to go into town everyday but its not bad. another great thing would be all the oppurtunites out here if you are an outdoorsman like me you live right where the best hunting and fishing is, you also become freinds with the farmers and get many connections. Overall i dont think you can go wrong moving out

That kind of stuff pisses me off to no end. Reminds me of the city slickers that move next to a dairy or cattle farm, then piss and moan about the sights and smells. Uh...who was here first? Exactly.

We have this problem on my Sandbar. We get folks who move here from the big cities, an want to make it into what they left. Look..if I wanted to live in jersey..I wouldn't have moved 2 miles out in the freaking ocean! Its one reason I love my sandbar so much..yes I live at the beach, but its..a country beach. We're not about clubs an a late night hell raising, an all that busy stuff. Like I tell folks who want to visit..if you want night life with clubs an bars, an all that..go to Va Beach, or Myrtle Beach. You come here to chill, relax, fish, crab, enjoy the weather, spend time with family an friends, go hunting, grilling, etc. The simple things in life.

I live..8.5 miles from a wal mart. An it's the only one, from here to the Va state line. No best buy, don't have 50 bajillion chain restaurants, or any of that jazz. We're not about tacky tourism..lol. It's tasteful! Ha ha!

Some of my fondest memories when I was younger was visiting my Great Nana up in New Hampshire. We used to joke if you saw more then 3 cars pass on her road in a day, it meant someone had died. The cops knew you by name, not because you were in trouble, but because it was such a small town! Biggest store by her was a gas station with a deli, so it was the place to go get the latest news. Nights were spent sitting around the table gabbing with family and friends, or outside messing around with nature. Now an then we'd gather around the tv an watch..wait for it...Jeopardy an Wheel of fortune. No crazy high tech cable for her!

Country living..even tho it means more self doing an the like, just always seemed so much easier an enjoyable.

I won't give up the peacefulness of my sandbar with out a fight, no matter how many city dwelling yankee's try an move here an change it.

Now, I think I'ma go get my chair comfy on the back deck for the Meteor shower later tonight.
