Hi Karin! Hi Leola! Sorry I missed you. I
didn't realize people were still
commenting. Guess neither of your
husbands are to keen on books. I think
men have a shorter attention span
than women -- and, yep, Leola, more
visual and one-tracked.

Re: Babydoll (11:35pm August 4, 2009):

Sorry I missed you earlier, Martha. I think
husbands who support their wives
reading addiction are the best!

Re: Babydoll (10:23pm August 4, 2009):

Wow, Lori, sounds like you have a really
great relationship.

Re: Babydoll (8:36pm August 4, 2009):

Hi, Mary -You're the third woman who
said gardening with hubby works best!
Makes me wonder if it has something
to do with all that ancient earth
mother stuff -- or maybe it's just
having the quiet, open space around
us.

Hi, Diane -- I know so many women
whose husbands complain about the
number of books they buy! But women
are intuitive creatures who need an
active imaginary world to escape into.
Luckily I have an artist husband who is
similar to me on that.

Re: Babydoll (6:31pm August 4, 2009):

Wow, sounds like you match up well on
that score, Theresa!

Re: Babydoll (5:49pm August 4, 2009):

Hi, LuAnn! Actually, Roy is usually the
one who gets the first draft going. And
like most females, I am good at the
second stage detail work. But the final,
fullest version is always the two of us
together.

Re: Babydoll (5:14pm August 4, 2009):

You're not alone, Dawn! But a few sparks
flying can sometimes make things more
interesting.

Re: Babydoll (3:49pm August 4, 2009):

Thanks, Vikki. We hoped the quiz
would be a fun thing for readers. And
ditto on the chocolate wars!

Hi, Debra! Thanks for chiming in!

Sara, I just want to say, thanks for
having us here today. And as to your
husband, give him some books to
read! I know of a great suspense
series that makes people laugh out
loud. It's written by this husband-wife
team . . .

Re: Babydoll (2:53pm August 4, 2009):

Hi, Karen -- I think Roy and I are just
the opposite. Running a store together
would be a disaster! But when it
comes to creating dangerous
situations for Saylor Oz and the hot
boxer, Eldridge Mace, our brains are
somehow on the same wavelength.

Re: Babydoll (2:10pm August 4, 2009):

Hi, Roberta - I love gardening, but Roy
gets hay fever, so scratch that one for us.

Re: Babydoll (1:39pm August 4, 2009):

Hi Sarah, Kelli Jo, and Donna! Thanks
for jumping in.

Yes, Sarah, I'd say being good at
raising kids together is a really
important one.

Kelli, you've got plenty of company on
this one.

Donna - Funny you should mention
traveling. Roy is like you and could
find his way anywhere, but I have the
WORST sense of direction and could
get lost in my own back yard!
