Are you a native?
It is so interesting to talk with my neighbor. She learned, and taught her eight children, how to be self reliant and sufficient. She commented to me just last wk that her grandchildren and great grandchildren live in a different world with computers, smart phones and the like. I can even see a difference in the mtns since we moved here in ‘88.
Thanks for your info. I’ll pass it on to my neighbor.
I’m in the Sams Gap area. Came here from Miami in 1981...30 years ago. Several of the old-timey mountain folks took a shine to me and taught me “living-skills”. My sophisticated city relatives think I’m nuts, but they’ll be knocking on my door when the bottom drops out.
