Simple Life In The Past

Thank you, Gershon. I appreciate the information about how people do work in Israel. They have had to go to extra effort to get things to grow in that region because of lack of water. Sara K

Thank you, CayCay, for the information and kind review. My father was 2 weeks shy of 97 years and my mother was one month shy of 97, but my mother's sister lived to be 98 years old. I think that the simpler times, and maybe even the work that they did help keep them healthier, but I don't know that. I went to my grandparents' grave this past weekend and they only live to be 82. So, I am not sure exactly what helped with the longevity. Sara K

Yes, Anne-Lise, it was simple, but the labor was long and hard. Life in some ways is so much easier today, but then in cities life issues out some ready hard facets of living that the older generation that lived and stayed at home never even though about. Thanks for the visit and understanding comments. Sara K

Yes, Sara B., I read your poem about your father, and they were men to respect. My father had his faults, but so much about him was right as well. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

Victor, it wasn't easy back then. He lived on the wild side when he was young, but after they adopted me, he lived the best he could with the help of God, The son and the Holy Spirit. He worked hard and long hours. Thanks for the visit and understanding comments. Sara K
