   I'd be suited to a more rural life that's for sure.  When you're a   
   single woman esp. one that is not so young, it's hard to make a move   
   like that.  I would have loved decades ago to go up to some village   
   somewhere as I lived in one such as a teen with my folks.  Loved it!   
      
   Soon I bet we'll all be wishing we were up in a rural community   
   somewhere where people look out for one another, esp. if someone or   
   someones come(s) along and the locals turn out with cocked guns to   
   make sure the peace is kept and everyone is left alone!    God's   
   commandment say 'thou shalt not kill' but there's a lot of evil out   
   there and He's all for protecting ourselves against evil, for sure!
