Fresh air... lots of exercise

Mrs Neo is reading "House Calls and Hitching Posts"... about a country doctor who worked in a Mennonite an Amish (the doc is Mennonite) community in Wayne County, Ohio.

She has read me a few choice bits, but one in particular sticks out.

The story is, this doctor was to receive some sort of service award and decided to bring along his oldest living patient, who was 94 at the time.

He got in touch with the old guy's daughter... to ask if he was in good enough health to make the trip and she replied, "I suppose he is. He's out chopping down a tree."

I think today should be a fresh air and exercise kinda day.
