I desperately wish to do the same and get back to a simpler way of life.. I,too claim a couple of places as "where I grew up".. I do have family ties to a very small Louisiana town, but do not care to go back there.. I spent part of my growing-up years in Virginia, but the cost of living is so high there, that buying property is prohibitive.. We currently live in a south Texas city. I would love to have some mountain property, or at least be where I can see them and have room to ride my horses for miles. My husband promises that we will move as soon as he can work up enough retirement, but I am despairing of that actually taking place....I have the option of tearing my family apart and moving with my 2 kids to someplace where i will enjoy living and can live as I like, or staying and waiting it out. I have 2 teenagers and wish that I could teach them about simpler pleasures. I keep a few "city chickens" and garden in a limited way, but would love to be more self-suficient.

It sure did make my heart yearn for a friendly visit on your front porch! :snoopy: 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! :happyfeet: Have a Blassed Day!

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! I saw your blog about the Navy Boot camp graduation and couldn’t agree with more about attending one if you get the chance.

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! This is a wonderful story. I shall be back for more.

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!
