A while back several of my Legacy club friends and I went to Ethridge, TN for the day.
(ok, maybe I shouldn't be talking about my friends at the same time I am posting a hog picture)
We wanted to see what wares they were selling, see where they live,
and enjoy some wonderful homemade goodies.
We saw handmade baskets, furniture, canned fruits
and vegetables of most every description.
Little toys and trinkets carved out of wood.
We saw lots of windmills, barns, plain homes, and people contented with their simpler lifestyle.
Many clotheslines were hung with dark and blue pants and dresses.
The only bright colors on this clothesline were from bandanas.
How'd you like to have to get around town in this buggy?
When walking around the properties we had to make sure we didn't step in any "exhaust".
All in all it was a wonderful day.
We talked and laughed on the drive.
We ate a wonderful lunch at a local meat-and-3 restaurant called the Red Rooster Cafe.
We came home with our treasures - mostly fresh-baked goodies and breads.
We talked about what it would be like to live this lifestyle. We decided while it would be fun for a short time, we really do like our appliances, cars, and computers.
It wasn't for us but I can see how this uncomplicated and unhurried life -
separated from the hustle and bustle of the modern world -
could be a very serene and balanced way to live.
