Aaron and I arrived in Presho for his summer job. Yesterday I found an upside to every downside.
We have a three-bedroom two-bath house, but no dressers. We have two skylights but there is a dead stuffed pheasant on the entertainment center. We have a dishwasher, washer and dryer but the washer leaks (supposedly only for the first few loads because it hasn’t been used in months). We have two TV’s and a VCR but no cable, internet, stereo or DVD player. Luckily Aaron brought his Play Station 2 which doubles as a DVD player, but at 1:15AM we lost power because wind so we couldn’t finish the episode of West Wing where Josh Lyman is shot. The greatest shock for me was grocery shopping. Aaron was told the town 10 miles away has the best grocery selection so
I went there. I’m pretty sure that of the available produce I bought half of each possible fruit and vegetable. I couldn’t get cilantro, asparagus, garlic, wine, eggbeaters, vegetable bouillon, couscous or tortellini (dry or fresh), and I spent $150 on 5 bags of groceries, 1 case of soda and a 18-pack of domestic beer.
