Key takeaways:
1. They were spiritual.
2. They lived in the country.
3. They had community.
4. They tried to be as self sufficient as possible.
5. They were multi-generational (parents, kids and grandparents all under one roof). This reduced overall family expenses, and built family community, among other things.
