I am way older than dirt. Remember these things but we jumped into a load of hay. Good memories for us but I know my parents were glad to see changes in their lives.

I remember waking up one morning and everyone standing around the wood stove shivering, becasue no one wanted to go out and bring in firewood that they forgot the night before.
Pumping water with a pump and drinking out of a ladel. Picking cotton and jumping of the loft into the cotton trailer for fun.
Those were the days when life was slow pace. But thanks to modern technology those are just precious memories.
