my goodness me!

1: they do not have a housekeeper - Ennis compulsively keeps the house clean, and not because he is expected to, but because he seems to need to keep it neat.  However, in an old-fashioned manner, he thinks vacuum cleaners throw dust in the air and he just picks specks up off the carpet most of the time.

2. They watch the Sunday Night Mystery Movie and Ennis managed to get back to his old habit of watching daytime game shows.  He also developed a secret crush on Adam Drake from "The Edge of Night" which comes on at 3:30 in the afternoon while he was sick with his legbone, and was rather pissed off that Adam stepped out on Nicole with that floozy, especially when he really thinks Adam is queer anyway.  He will never, EVER admit to Ellery that he watched a soap opera, however.

3. Ennis once passed out after a three movie marathon when Ellery was expecting some sugar, but Ellery never said anything about it.  It was a rather boring videotape of some Lionheart presentations of Sherlock Holmes that Ellery went for, but since Ennis didn't think the Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) was very sexy, his attention wandered and he nodded off before the entertainment portion of the evening.

4. Ennis doesn't vote, and Ellery doesn't bug him about it, and votes against everything Republican he can think of just because he knows they are funded by religious fundamentalists. 

OMG ~ I couldn't believe this when I saw it!  :laugh:  It's great though!  ;D

Thanks, Louise!

I was thinking about the lastest chapter at 3 am (my awake and thinking time, sigh) and I realized that Ellery said to Ennis "You're a widower," implying that Ennis was married to Jack, even without the rings and vows. Certainly the bond that Ennis has to Jack is that strong, and we all know it...but I thought Ellery's choice of words was interesting, and very telling. I wonder when it wil sink in on Ennis a bit more what Ellery said?

No tan lines and we know Ennis prefers swimming like this:




I wonder if there are any nude beaches in Puerto Rico?

L

Wow, Im so behind in the stories. I dont even know which one you guys are reading. Answering this question, no, no nude beaches in Puerto Rico but there are keys all over and if you rent a boat you could go to a deserted beach and get naked if you want to. I guess I have a lot of caught up to do when I return to Madrid!

Natali - me encanta verte.

Natali - I'm delighted to see you.

There are wonderful things for you to read when you return to Madrid.
Peace be with y'all,

SPOILER






I burst out laughing at Laurens secret Louise!    Thankgoodness I wasn't sipping my coffee!

Me, too!  God, that was hilarious, Louise!   :laugh: :laugh: (I'm really, really happy you agreed to the Pookie/Simon story!!!)

Well, except for the part about poor Lauren being embarrassed - I felt for him!  But at least we can trust Jeremy!

Memo to Red Stallion employees and patrons:

Do not, under any circumstances, tell Wayne anything in confidence! 


Jeremy finding out that Lauren is hot for Nick  :o  - and all the talk about Nick being so sexy!  I can't help but wonder if, or how, that will affect Jeremy once he and Nick get home!!! ;D

Great chapter, Louise.  Thanks!
