You are 100 percent right. My wife and I live in pennsyltuckey in the Appalachian Mountains on the mountain side. No grass to mow just live among the trees. My wife of 52 years shares the same beauty . My grandchildren call me Opa and mom Oma. German for grandpa and grandma. Nothing like the country ways. From my great grandpa down we have been drinkin our own making. Mostly rye instead of corn. Like you have been all over and always come back. No place and nothing like coming back home. As soon as you start up our mountain it feels like the weight of the world has just been lifted off your back. Live on wild game. Deer, turkey, rabbit and squirrel and such for meat. Oma puts out a good garden and makes airtights to keep stuff for the winter. Have our own apple, cherry and pear trees. Our own blue and black berries. Everything we need. Wouldn't ever have to leave the place. Our own little country. Amen. Nothing like the old hillbilly way of life.
