Lost Word of the Day - Ruricolous

Though the city has its attractions, I much prefer the quiet ruricolous life.


Right now I am on vacation in the Smoky Mountain area of North Carolina. The resort is at a rather ruricolous location. It's twenty minutes to the nearest town with a Walmart. I never, ever, not in a million years thought I'd be happy to see a Walmart, much less go into one.

I'd started this heartfelt monologue about how despite how bored I am on this trip, life has shown me a multitude of blessings, yadda yadda. But then my husband began bemoaning about how he thinks he's having a hot flash. Seriously? I cannot concentrate when he does this.

And now he's off to waft the smell of freshly cooked bacon under the noses of our two sleeping teenagers to wake them up. Despite all its boring qualities, and the rain, and the fact that we're miles and miles from anywhere or anything else, this trip, for the most part, has been anything but dull.

    1. It really is beautiful, and I'm sure in the winter when there's snow it's awesome, with too many winter activities to list. I'm just more of a beach girl than a mountain girl. If in this area again, I'd definitely stay at this same resort. ;)
