Stopped by a country store in Northeast Tennessee back in 1975. It was located in the Blair's Gap Community of Sullivan County. Spent a few hours just observing the folks coming by the store. PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE...THANK YOU

There is something we need more today the simple joy of sitting in the front of the store just have a conversation with old friends. I would have liked to been able to live in that town and be able just to sit around and not talk about anything in particular but just enjoy the time with old friends. I can remember on Saturdays when we were kids my cousins and I would all meet at my one uncle's home because his brother my cousin father and the uncle that owned the house we would meet. They would do their Saturday shopping together. And their sister. My mom would just come for a visit and bring me to stay for a few hours so I could see and play with my cousins. Well after the brothers had finished the shopping we would fix dinner just us guys . Sometimes it was tv dinners or something like it since none of us were any cooks. But we didn't care about that . Then after dinner. My two uncle's would have coffee out on the front porch. And they had a old glider style swing us kids would sit on and it was just nice to sit as my uncle's would talk about different things or when they were growing up and some of the things they did because this was a big family my mom had eight brothers and one sister. So there was a lot of stories. And us kids just enjoyed sitting in that glider swinging and watching life go by on the front porch. I have so many good memories of those Saturdays it may sound like this was a long time ago. But it was the mid 70"s until my uncle's death in 1983. Right now I am 55 the same age as my uncle when he passed unexpectedly. At 55. He passed in September of 1983 he was going to retire in April of 1984 from his job that he worked at for 30 years. But unfortunately he did not get to enjoy his retirement. I was only 17 when he died I was the last to see him on the Saturday night which was three days before he passed. I was driving by then and my uncle and one cousin had already left to go home and I was last to leave I was going to start school that coming Monday and my uncle knew how I felt about going back to school after summer vacation well he razed me a little just in fun saying back to school and I can remember how I said oh I know summer over. But we talked for a few minutes more then I had to go home I can still remember backing out of driveway as my uncle stood there and all I was thinking about how was looking forward to next Saturday when I could come back over. That was my last Saturday seeing my uncle. Even though it will be 40 years next September 13 th. To this day it still affects me. I would imagine many of the young kids that had the opportunity to visit this store and be around these men as they spoke of nothing in particular but just being there around them probably have such strong memories of these times that meant so much to a part of growing up . And would imagine to this day although it's been 47 years can probably remember as if it just happened yesterday.

While the internet is wonderful at times, social media has destroyed this world. People do not even know how to communicate face to face anymore. I am not even that old and I see it

1975 is the year the US was defeated in Vietnam; Nixon resigned in disgrace the year before; my father died of cancer that would have been cured today; a new car lasted 50,000 miles; we just got done with a decade of social unrest younger people have no idea how bad it was. America is greater today than back then, believe me, someone who lived through those times. Please don't fantasize about the past, these are the good old days now, cherish them, live in them and love your fellow countrymen, today.

@@swmovan The “woke”? Hey, this coming from a classically liberal gay man: the “woke” are lunatics too lazy to think through that they are lending themselves to a neo-Marxist movement that is as rotten as it possible to be - and even more dangerous. This history? This history is damn important. Those who don’t spend the time to understand it? They are utterly rudderless in a dangerous and complex world. They also need to get off the front pages so the rest of us can do the real work of saving civilization. They are a miserable lot in every way.
