I live in a small town in Southwest MO in the Ozark Mtns (actually we call them hills) We have 3 lakes and beautiful wooded landscapes. At least we did 20 yrs ago before Country Music Theaters, some 60 to 65 of them, came here to perform live and along with some million or so tourist that come every year.
Don't get me wrong, this is basically a good thing. It brings a lot of jobs and they are dedicated to keeping the beauty, which we locals appreciate.
Yes you are right, we are hillbillies and proud of it because hillbillies are very resourceful people. We can grow about anything in soil that is known for growing rocks. We have indoor plumbing and we always wear shoes except on the creek bank.
My husband and I were high school sweethearts and have lived in the same county all of our married life. In fact my husband was Sheriff in this county for the 8 yrs prior to retirement and chief deputy 25 yrs prior to that.
I have never blogged before so don't know exactly how to do it. Never even kept a diary before. So I think I will sign off for awhile and go see what everyone else is saying.
