SEVEN THINGS ABOUT US
· We love working within our self-imposed deadline for returning
chapters to each other. Sometimes we don't make it, but it's good to
have.
· After Roz scoops ice cream into a bowl, she puts
it in the microwave for a few seconds. She likes it slightly melted
and the consistency of very thick soup.
· Patty LOVES delicious apples because they are
so, well, delicious. She finds them the perfect complement to many of her other
favorite foods: cheese (she is from Wisconsin, after all), peanut butter,
nachos, walnuts, Cheetos, cottage cheese, you-name-it.
· Because Roz lives in a climate where the sun
shines most of the time and when it rains it is often torrential, she has grown
to appreciate grey skies and light drizzle.
· Because Patty lives in a climate that has
l-o-n-g winters, she has grown to love spending a couple of those cold months
in Palm Desert, California (the setting for our next Val & Kit mystery).
She also loves to visit Roz in Houston.
· Roz likes men who open doors for women and give
up their seats on the subway. It's not fashionable, perhaps, but it's just
nice.
· Speaking of men, Patty has five brothers, no
sisters.

DeleteThanks for nominating my blog Roz and Patty. I'll be posting mine when I get a minute, and will be nominating 15 other lovely bloggers. I'm in the middle of my book launch at the moment so things are a bit frantic. It was interesting finding out about you. I am also an only girl and had four brothers. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane! No rush. We feel your frenzy. And we wish you good luck with your book launch! You and I will have to compare brother stories someday :) Where were you in the birth order?
DeletePatty
Second oldest, so I had all the responsibility that goes with that. Where were you? :)
DeleteSmack-dab in the middle, or as close as you can be with 6 :) Two older brothers, three younger.
