So, a lot of people saw the New York Times article on Friday, and were shocked to hear Linds and I got a place up in the country. More to the point, they wanted to know how we were adjusting to life up there (even if only on weekends).
It gave me an idea for a post: I thought I'd compare (through pictures) our life in the city vs. our life in the country. First up, the kitchen junk drawer:
In the country, we are prepared for anything. In the city, we order in a lot.
Next up, the entertainment center:
New York: 52" DLP HDTV, surround sound (B&W speaker system), powered subwoofer, Xbox, Apple TV, DVR...and of course, always tuned to the Simpsons.
Sharon: 27" TV for $113 and a $39 DVD player, purchased at Wal-Mart. Never on.
And finally, laundry:
We bought this HUGE washer/dryer set from the previous owner. As for laundry in the city, it's the opposite of dinner: we send it out.
So that's a brief snapshot of our city life vs. our country life. Watching TV on a 27-inch screen and doing laundry took some getting used to, but I think we're adjusting pretty well.
