Are there many others that enjoy living their lives country? Are there any people who are aware of the country life? I am interested in seeing how many of you here live the country life.
Re: Country living-- Yes, I've experienced country living and enjoy it. I recently moved in town but the in laws have a ranch. So we spend a lot of our free time hiking and fishing.
That's cool. I live in my parents' house. They now live in a custom built log cabin, and when they moved out of their original house, we moved in. And I must say, it's in EXCELLENT condition! There's a man-made lake out back, along with a small above ground pool. But what I really like is the connected car porch. It allows us to park the cars, but still have room for an indoor-but still outdoor playing environment for our kid. We don't live in the mountains, so there's no space for hiking, but we're surrounded by many woods! We have one neighbor - a couple around the same age as us with just three kids. They're young, but still cool. We've actually befriended them and have thrown a few combined barbecues! Do you have a pit 50Calray?
I live in a very agricultural area. Lots of farms, grass, fresh air and nothing-ness around here. But just twenty minutes away is a poorly-designed city and you feel like you're in New York when it's rush-hour traffic. So I live in both extremes.
Always been a city girl, i live in a city of 2 million and that's where i'll stay not so good with the whole smell-of-cow-poo thing LOL
Nick, same here! I take I-95 to work everyday -- my wife and I. We drive to Columbia, SC everyday. But we drive for the money. Where we live, they won't pay more than 23.87 dollars an hour for the area we specialize in. But Rizzo, the city's nice. But I like the country for raising a child. Allows them to be more active without the parent worrying about if they'll be alright. Granted, there's not a lot of kids, but our area is steadily being developed. Just a half mile down the road, two couples are building homes. And next door, there's three kids. Two boys and a girl.
I'm a country gal, thru and thru. I was born and raised in Florida when it wasn't a metropolis. When it got too big, I moved to north Florida, which still has miles and miles of rural, country area. I could never, ever, live where I grew up. It's crazy down there!! I've lived in the sticks of Alabama, and currently live in small-town Ohio. I love the small-town, rural, country life. There's nothin' better.
I totally agree with you, Peggy! Like I said in an earlier post, it's good for raising a child. I grew up in the country and LOVED it. Love isn't the word, actually. I ADORED it!
I grew up in farm country, and I miss it. I'm looking forward to the next house I get having a few acres. I miss the small family farm/garden, some chickens and maybe a goat or two.
Used to rent a portion of a house located on a gentleman farmers ranch that was just over 500 acres. The kind of place where you could drive up, leave the key in the truck and walk right into your unlocked front door. Yet, the heart of a big east coast city was a short 20 min drive down the interstate. Some of the best times I had was just sitting around the local general store swapping lies with other folks in the area. The pace of living was slower, the people friendlier and always willing to lend a helping hand. Now I live in the north Dallas TX sprawl, the only redeeming factor is family is nearby.
I live out in the country and i love it. I have lived outside of our city limits ever since i can remember and i would not know how to act if i actually had to live in the city again. I love room for my animals, my cars, and just the privacy living in the country offers.
I live in a rural and have experience with "country living". This past weekend was an unofficial holiday weekend here in Texas - opening weekend of deer season. Half the town was closed. My family and I go fishing in the creeks in the woods and go deer hunting. My grandfather and grandmother had a small farm with cows, horses, chickens,,,,
I live in the county aside from the fact that there is nothing to do and you cannot get anywhere without a car I like it. I'd rather be in a village or mid-sized city though more access to things
Gentlemans' Farmers Ranch, Gnatster? Was it a residential place just for men, with its share of hot women? Did you get anything, Kevin? Venison is quite good, if you cook it right.
A little different here where i live, if you live in the country the schools just aren't any good, the best schools are all in the city areas
I don't know that I'd be able to live in that slower pace of life. I kinda always think that I'm going to end up somewhere like that, but I've only lived in Southern California and South Florida. So, as you can see, I've been a "city" guy (mostly suburb, but same thing kinda) all my life. I would love to have a summer place where I can spend some time near a lake and breathe in some fresh air though. I have friends in North Carolina and Tennessee on their own nice chunk of land and they love it.
