Mayberry, America

[willystruck]

I grew up in a small town just like Mayberry. Third house down was next an 80 acre corn field. Shot pigeons uptown at the grain elevator and in the lumberyard with a pellet gun at the request of the owners. Walked through town with a .22 or shotgun to rabbit hunt just outside of town. Ate lunch most days in the local bar & grill sittin along side of the town drunk. Glad I don't live there anymore because it was in the communist state of Illinois. Was fun growin up there until I had to get a Firearm owners identification card just to buy a box of .22 shells. That's when I decided to get out. I was only 14 or 15 at the time.

Yes, but just outside on a few acres.

I grew up in the hustle and bustle of Northern VA, watching Mayberry on TV. I spent years living the city life, and ended up out here while in the service. I moved back to VA for a few years and longed to get away from there. So here I am again. I'm not quite in Mayberry, but I'm outside of the City limits. Absolutely would love to have the Mayberry experience.

I'd love to get away. I looked at buying a ranch (house with a lot of land), but Mrs. Books wasn't in favor of it. I even offered to buy a couple of those God--awful expensive, highly trained German Sheppards that cost as much as a Mercedes, and she still said no.

Some people gotta be city folks.
AKA both of my kids, sister, etc.

Thank God, my wife thinks like I do. No neighbors, no traffic noise, critters in the yard daily, life is good.

Grew up in a small town, and couldn't wait to get out. Now that I'm grown with a family of my own, I really miss it.
