Actually I envy their simple lifestyle. I worked a summer as a bricklayer and I didn't smell very good either. Mom actually put up a shower in the back yard so I could clean up before I was allowed in the house.
So true. I visited the Amish Country as a kid when I lived in Pennsylvania. I thought the area has some of the most beautiful farmland I've ever seen. Their way has a certain zen quality. You see life lived without office angst, cell phones, DVD's, filing cabinets, and all the other brikabrak we sometimes get overly concerned with.
