I really LOVE your story!!! It sure did make my heart yearn for a friendly visit on your front porch! It even prompted me to do a search for Stringtown, WV!!! It looks and sounds like a wonderful place! At the moment I’m forced to live in a small city, but my heart, lives in the backwoods country of somewhere! I was wondering the current population there? Thank You again for shareing your story and for what you did for your children. Your bravery inspires me to reach out and change my circumstances! Have a Blassed Day!

I saw your blog about the Navy Boot camp graduation and couldn’t agree with more about attending one if you get the chance. Our son graduated in March of 2006 and a nephew in July of 2006. We were able to attend our son’s and were so impressed by the whole thing!We also developed a whole new appreciation for our military!
I’m proud to an AMERICAN!

This is a wonderful story. I shall be back for more. My daughter graduated from Sissonville High and now lives between Sissonville and Pocatalico, off White Oak Drive. It’s so nice that you had the opportunity, and took it, to go back to the finer way of living. I used go for drives and sit on the bank of Poca River at Sissonville just staring at the water and listening to nature. I know the area well. I love your house, slanted or not. I’ll take an an older house any day -they were built to last. I wish you all the best; you already have it though. I can identify with that. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I just stumbled across your blog, and read several posts before I realized you are “from West Virginia”. I am a West Virginian, born and raised in one of the small towns that take less than a minute and a half to get through, and love everything about it! Glad to have you as a neighbor! The more I read here, the more I want to read!

This is inspiring and makes me believe that I can make it to the country also. Makes me strive to have that life for my children too. Thank you!

This is my first day here,I came while looking for a cheese press plan. I saw the picture of your home and I said awesome porch! My significant other looked at the picture and said too much snow. Oh well….not everybody sees the same things LOL. I looked through the website some more and registered. This looks like a fun site.

Lovely story. You inspire us to be brave and true. I may live in a tropical country thousands of miles from you where my summers were coconut, mango and banana trees, hectares of rice fields and warm waters on fine beaches but your story brought me back nonetheless and I am determined to bring my son more and more to see our country outside the city. I found your site searching for a good burnt sugar cake recipe. It was in an old cookbook of my mother’s that I had misplaced. Your cake looks scrumptious! Look forward to reading more…

There were thirty-three people in my graduating class. I have known most of them since kindergarten. I definitely understand the small-town feel.
