I consider myself a country bumpkin, too. I have lived in very rural areas Greenville and Presque Isle Maine) and I have lived in small cities (Peoria, IL and Lewiston, ME). I grew up in rural Maine where my dad owned a hardware store. At the time I was not impressed with the store but now I am grateful for all I learned from working there and my dad, who was an amazing man and could fix just about anything. I now live in a small town on the Kennebec River in Maine and own an old house and everday put the knowledge gleaned from my childhood to use in restoring and repairing my old house. Just today I cut some glass to size from the inventory in the barn to replace a window. My skill with glazing compound isn't pretty but it works! I love rural life but do enjoy a visit to the big city now and then -- great museums, exotic restaurants (i.e. ethnic cuisine) and the buzz of a city. That said, I'm quite content to watch the hummindbirds from the breakfast nook and lie in the hammock in the backyard and watch the bald eagles flying overhead. Mabel in Maine
