Living in the country was a totally different experience for my husband and I.
We both lived in the city from the time we were born, and suddenly we were thrust into country life.
I loved the freedom of walking down the road and not being harassed by beggars. I didn’t need to worry about pickpockets or muggers when I took my kids to the park. The air was clean, and we could see the stars at night. Life was amazing. I wasn’t used to needing to drive to the grocery store, and not being able to pick up the phone and have food delivered in minutes. I liked the convenience of the city, but that was all. I also liked that when I called the HVAC company, I was going to get the same couple of people all the time. Last month, I had to laugh. I called the HVAC company to have our air conditioning unit checked. When the HVAC technician arrived, he kept looking around the house. I asked if there was a problem, but he said no. Two minutes later, he asked me where my husband was. I thought he may be concerned about being there when he wasn’t home, but he was working. I told him he should be home in an hour. He then wanted to know if he would be home before the air conditioning unit was serviced and repaired? I wasn’t sure if he would be home that soon, but I could call and ask. He told me he wanted to discuss some of the things he found during his inspection. The man wanted to discuss the air conditioner with my husband and not me.
