Bailing Hay the Old Way

The photo above is Hollie Clark, Jim Haines, Dale Meek, and Cecil Meek bailing hay. Some of these were our neighbors.  Bailing hay took a crew and machinery.  Cecil Meek had a daughter my age.  I stayed all night with her once.  She peed the bed.  I don’t recall wanting to stay a second time.  I slept with Sisters Helen and Fleta most of the time.  Glad they did not pee the bed.

I imagine that girl was very embarrassed about what she did..poor thing!

We see those old balers a lot at tractor shows. My son was a bed-wetter until he was 10 or 12.

I was a bed wetter...not something I could control either. I always felt so bad and rarely stayed overnight with friends until I outgrew it. :(
