      Looking forward to this.
      Much of Appalachia remains untamed, relatively- but sadly, few pure locales remain.
      Time to dig in...

    As a born and bred Mountaineer (West Virginian) and youngest of 7 siblings with two wonderful parents from the Virginias. I was raised in a blue-collar Christian home. All 7 kids worked our own way through college and left...but have since returned. I've always said, 'You can take the boy from the mountains, but you can never take the mountains from the boy'.
    Very proud of my Appalachian roots!!
    Thanks for your story's!!

    Well, I listened to this story twice, and throughly enjoyed every word! These stories of your beloved mountains, and the people that live there, are not just enjoyable, they need to be told. The strength, courage, pride and wisdom of these people cause me, and probably, most of your followers, to hold our heads up alittle higher, with hopes of being some how connected, in our past, to the drive and strengths that your stories recall. Thank you so much for Sharing. God bless.

    Well you've got me crying and the story's not over yet.
    I wish I had the money to pack up and move up in the mountains. I know it'd be hard for me as old as I am but that'd still be alright. My ancestors settled in the Appalachias in Kentucky. They were Iris and Scotts. Some of the old ways of speaking still came from my Mama's mouth but are getting lost down here in middle Tennessee. Every generation uses fewer and fewer of those old time beautiful words and the scolding ones too. Like stop that gaumin fore I yank a knot in your tail. I couldn't help but giggle because we didn't know what gaumin was but we sure knew what yanking a knot in our tail meant. We would stop what we were doing and finally figured out it meant making a mess. She'd say it was a mite airish outside when a cool breeze was coming through the trees. She'd open every window on the house to air it out. We didn't have air conditioning so it felt pretty good. But I loved the word airish. I though it must mean fairies were on the breeze and maybe this time I'd see one. My imagination was such rocks could be my friends. Mama would say hidie to them like they was as alive as in my imagination. I had no other friends. Mama n Daddy thought they weren't necessary. I was child number 5. My sister 2 years older was the only friend I needed Mama would say. I longed fir a little sister. My big sister was kinda mean. So Mama finally had my baby sisters. One when I was 9 and the other when I was 12. I just knew she had them just fir me. I'm now 66 and they are in their 50s and they are still my babies. They want to take care of me and though I don't need it I have to let them. It'd hurt their feelings if I didn't. I guess you know by my age Mama n Daddy are not with us any longer. All 7 of us are still living. The oldest are in their 70s. I can't bear the thought of losing my oldest sister. We are two peas in a pod. She's 8 years older than I am. My husband was too. He passed 11 years ago and a year later her husband passed. We were always close but our loss has made us more so. She is without doubt the best person I know, then my baby sisters are next in that line. I tried to raise my 3 girls to be like that too. I mostly succeeded. 2 out of 3 are doing great. That youngest needs prayer if anyone is inclined to do so. Her name is Stacey Erin. A good Irish name I've been told. I thank you for the kindness.

    Sometimes being stubborn isn't being godly, it's feeling that you are a god because you have God. Answering "NO!" right off the bat without first praying and waiting for an answer to come is the first sign you're not exactly on the right track. Ask, and ye shall receive! Don't ask, and decide is gifting yourself what you already wanted.
