You are pretty much describing life in isolated rural communities in the 1960's and 1970's. Life for my cousins was cruising up and down main street in their pickup trucks and old beat up cars...going to the movies at one of the TWO movie theaters ONCE a month when the new movies came in...OR driving over to the Drive-In theater in Torrington so they could make out in the car!

My cousin used to drive up to Lake Minatare with her boyfriend to make out...and my MALE cousin, Chuckie, got his soon to be bride pregnant!

@4meAndyou Now that sounds like real old fashioned fun that didn't involve any trolls! :)

@4meAndyou going swimming on hot summer days, and laying outside on the grass in the evenings. No phones to distract you.

@UnderLockDown Yup. My Grandpa went and REALLY got his shotgun when a Mormon came courting my Aunt Dorothy. He REALLY did! But I guess that Mormon was really in love, because he came back...and became my Uncle George!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
