SHE WROTE: About That House
On that house thing, here's what happened:
Agnes bought a really ugly house from Baby.
Baby moved into an expensive new one.
Camille bought a really expensive one on an island.
Then Bob changed his mind and said Baby moved to the island, not Camille. So now Baby's living in a REALLY great house.
Then Bob sent this picture:

Does that look like a really ugly house? No.
But nothing much happens at Baby's house so why would he send me a picture of it?
Confused in Cincinnati.
So I wrote and said, "Is this Baby's house or Agnes's?"
And now he makes mock.
And one of his characters still looks at the house in the book and says, "That's ugly." So I had to change that. Details, God is in the details.
Sheesh.

It's purty. Needs lemonade on the veranda.
Not lemonade. Mint Julips :)
I know a man who would think the house is ugly (though I heartly disagree) just because it's old. Men's taste can't be trusted.
*I* don't think the house is ugly, but someone who values cozy bungalow-style houses might be able to look at it and say it's ugly. Or maybe they like modern metal and glass monstrosities? They could think it's ugly. The house is fine; maybe it's the other character that needs to be examined?
