What strikes me immediately is the symbiosis in the way you both think, react and create. You are so lucky to have someone living close by who really is on the same wavelength. I cannot wait to see the end product from you both. I want to reach across the miles and pick these books up...LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-36333710445647587902012-04-24T20:45:08.313+10:002012-04-24T20:45:08.313+10:00Mmmmmm we did have a lovely day and as I expected...Mmmmmm we did have a lovely day and as I expected, your blog on our day is special.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-85772211745451750862012-04-24T19:53:07.364+10:002012-04-24T19:53:07.364+10:00Sounds like a wonderfully rich day.Sounds like a wonderfully rich day.Alice Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908023945688805053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-74328737563134253992012-04-24T19:32:26.027+10:002012-04-24T19:32:26.027+10:00So true J!
