Where I'm from...
'Lil Gramma' would be makin' me grits for breakfast, with butter and brown sugar. And before noon, we would walk down to the Mennonite Farmers Market known as Dutch Foods...but on the way,we would stop at the HUGE Woodmen of the World barn to get open pit BBQ chicken. (...that we could smell from the house when they started grilling at the crack of dawn. It makes your mouth water!! and you can't wait till they start selling at 10am.) It's a good thing we would walk to town, because if we'd use the car, we'd get behind a dozen or so horse-n-buggies with Mennonite or Brethren families all headed to Dutch Foods or IGA. At the market, Lil Gramma would get us some homemade, fresh outa the oven, soft wheat rolls with butter and honey, a bag of her horehound candies and my butterscotch, 2 bottles of homemade root beer or cream soda and some green tomatoes to fry up later for dinner. On our way home, we'd stop by our Dunkard Brethren church...a very small, simple, plain, red brick "salt box" of a building.... to sweep and clean up before Sunday Service. We would then sit in the little handmade wooden kids chairs in the School room and delightfully dig into our BBQ chicken and other treats (that chicken was SO tender it would fall off the bones and the smokie flavor was all the way through), while she told me the story about how her husband built this church with his own hands, how the pews, hardwood floor and other furniture were all handmade by him and the other Deacons. That church felt like home as much as her wonderful, warm, inviting home did. Before we left, we'd place out all the hymnal books and wind up the old antique "Regulator" clock...just about then, old Brother Uplinger and his wife would pull up in his military-retired 1945 Dodge WC 52 that had "farm tags"....we would shimmy into the back and I'd snuggle close to Lil Gramma as we'd putt putt up the hill to the Dayton Autumn Festival, where we'd get some pumpkin bread for that night's dessert. I would give anything to be able to spend a day like that again with Lil Gramma. To this day, that BBQ chicken is my FAVORITE. |

I love the quiet of the Mennonite/ Amish/ Dunkard areas. The "peace" is almost palpable. We have that sort of calm in the foothills here. Nothing quite like a slow drive on a crisp sunny morning to lift your spirits and allow the worlds troubles to melt away. Thanks again! |

Where I come from... well - I drove to the shops today and I had to slow down so as not to hit any wallabies or kangaroos sitting on the side of the road (they can suddenly change direction and decide to hop right in front of your car). My sweetie saw an echidna last time he took the dogs for a walk and my sister saw a platypus in the creek out the back of her place. Driving to work a few months ago, my daughter and I saw a couple of koalas on the road. The driver in front of me was trying to get them to safety (i.e. off the road). They were not impressed with her telling them what to do!
We are very lucky though - you don't see wildlife like this in most towns or cities in Australia. You don't get kangaroos hopping down the main street in Sydney or Melbourne. We're just in a really good place for it (it's pretty rare - the idea that this is the norm here is a misconception). You know what? Koalas are really not that cute and cuddly. They smell, they make awful noises, they can be aggressive, and they have claws. A lot of them also have syphilis! |

Are there Koala shepherds there? LOL! There has always been rumors of shepherds and sheep and std's.. , I couldn't resist!
Sounds like a really cool place to be. The wildlife sounds amazing. You are indeed blessed! Thanks! |

Sorry but chipmunk, squirrel and raccoon are not indigenous to that part of the world but it does sound so wonderful that Australia would love to visit someday and see the koalas, kangaroos etc!!

Ursy, do you have the flying foxes ( bats) in your area? I love bats but we only have smaller varieties here.
These guys are gorgeous! |

I am sure I would probably love it down there its warm right?? If that is the case then yes because I don't like cold weather!! Oh and the raccoons that are around get into the trash and have like "hand" and can open all sorts of things but they are cute though but campers don't like them!!

Yes, we sure do - they are very cute indeed. Sometimes you can see hundreds of them flying across the sky - it's a lovely sight. |

Where I am from is a small town in northern CA a old cornish mining town about as small town as it gets lots of open spaces room to gorw and breathe kind of like watching history past old west fighting the intrusion of the modern age suits me I just did not know it then. I miss fishing in the creek with my grandpa hikng in the snow watching the horses run in the neighbors field. going with my dad and stepmother to her parents ranch to help with the calves lol and my dad putting me on the back of one to see how long I could ride it. so I see I ran from what I already had and now spent years trying to get back to it

Ah Bard, but you needed to be the person you are today, and that person had to grow through other experiences. I don't think it's ever a mistake to expand our experience of life... even though I totally get how frustrating it can be to need to get back to where we started! I would SOOO move to the country--or at least a very small town--in a heartbeat if only I could.
