Country Living

While vacationing in Basye, VA near Bryce Resort, I had another opportunity to focus on another culture.  Although this one is not ethnically based, it’s definitely a community where the lifestyle is similar for those living here, so it’s a culture in and of itself.

Here’s a few quick observations that I’ve pointed out to the kids in the last few days:

• The post office closes for lunch every day from 11:30 – 12:30 pm, so you have to plan accordingly.
• Honesty reigns one gentleman left his truck running, went grocery shopping and came back to his truck still in the same spot.
• NO WIRELESS, there is barely phone reception, the only wireless router is at the local (3 room) library.
• It’s 15 miles to the nearest chain store.
• The locals usually make monthly trips to Wal*mart (unlike our three trips in 5 days)

I recently started scrapbooking, but I am a quilter. I found you though a quilter site. Your site is wonderful, I started reading it and could not stop. I love it. I hope you are writing books too, you have a gift of communication. I can't wait to send you url to my cousin in Virgina who is a scrapebook junkie. I love it and thanks for sharing.
