I lived that life!! We lived in rural north Georgia and we would leave home on our dirt bikes and ride in the mountains miles away from home....parents never knew where we were. If we made it home by dark, they didn't even ask questions. I couldn't imagine allowing my grandchildren to that.....times sure have changed, and definitely not for the better

One thing my folks were really sticklers about was that we kids be home by dark. No exceptions. Most times we made it 'cause we knew supper was ready to eat ... and so were we. But boy, the times we didn't make it by dark, daddy let us know it better not happen again. He had a special belt he cut notches in. LOL! Sometimes he's lose count 'cause he's send us out back to cut a switch off a big old Hickory nut tree, and it had better be a good one or he'd cut the 2nd one. And btw, we lived so far out in the country, when I wanted to go hunting, I had to go towards town!

As an aside, we didn't have indoor plumbing until I was about 10-12. My mom, dad, and brother shared an outhouse with my grand parents who lived at the other end of the block. The 'privy' was about half way between our houses. We did have a pitcher pump outside the back door and while I pumped, my younger brother would bathe, then we'd reverse the rolls. And this was in summer, winter, and all in between. I don't remember not having electricity, but being so far out of town it was not very reliable. Occasionally if more then 2 doves lit on a wire, we'd lose power for some reason.

Yeh, those were the good times. I love talking about these things with youngsters today. They will sit in total amazement for hours listening. And of course, on occasion I'll embellish the story a tad just to see their reactions.

I know today's kids have it much easier with so much technology, but in some cases I fear it makes it harder for them. I'm just hoping for a better outcome for today's kids in a couple generations than what we septuagenarians are seeing today. jj

Apologize for getting on a roll!
