Man have I enjoyed reminiscing thru this thread! I am not a member... yet, but I have applied, and with some luck, I'll be accepted. smile
I was born in 1956 and lived the first 12 years of my life in towns of less than 2,000 population in Western North Carolina, USA.
My first home we lived out of the city limits so we weren't on city water lines. We had well water. It was piped into the house, but from a pump house right outside the kitchen.
There was a sawmill down the hill from us that was offlimits to us, but we loved to play there. When it rained, the mist would make the sawdust formable and we could dig tunnels all thru there! Mom always knew when we had been playing there and I never understood how. We'd get our butts beat even tho my brother and I would pick each other clean after playing there! It was years later when she finally told me she could smell the sawdust. DOH! rolleyes
I remember as a 5 y/o walking alone 1/4 mile down the road to see "Uncle Pearl" to go visit his dogs.
I remember those party lines on the telephone. They could be quite fun! wink
Even up to the age of 16, pre-driving age, I was walking long distances to get where I wanted to go. I was rarely at home, inside, gelling, watching TV, any of that stuff. I was always outside on the go. Mom never quite knew where I was, she just knew I was usually in the woods. I had trails all thru the woods at the top of our hill in Asheville, NC, along the edge of the Blue Ridge Parkway. My friends and I hiked alot too. TV just never meant much to me back then, however since we were back in the mountains, we had cable TV because it had to be brought in by "cable" to get the signals over the mountains. lol
