you know what i really think made folks more neighborly back then than now? simply that we were all in the same boat, I never even thought about being poor ,getting up early,working all day and lots of times all night back then, just because thats what every one did!neghbors helped each other simply because they had to to get the work done, there simply wasnt enough time otherwise.took three or four guys to run a baler,binder,threshing machine,or whatever.that alone made families and comunities closer i think.theres a lot of things i can look back and say i miss from then,but the long hot days,longer nights,aching backs ,blisters,getting up to a 1/4 " of snow on your blanket that blew through the cracks in the night, plain old hard seemingly unending work every day isnt them.of course as i get older all that seems to fade in the light of the picture of church socials,family gatherings, momma singing at the stove, grandma shelling peas on the porch,those rare times when grandad hollered "you boys fetch the poles out of the car shed",or dad waiting till us boys emptied our old shotguns before he shot a quail.who was it that said "the good old days are better the older we are, and as the memories fade" sure got it right i think.
