I ...Oh, Sue Ann, inquiring minds want to know! ;-)<br /><br />I tend to give my characters skills/hobbies that I already enjoy like skiing, making gift baskets, and whitewater rafting. New skills/hobbies that I've researched for my mysteries include fly fishing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling, and of those, I think I would most enjoy snowshoeing. It's a lot like hiking, but done in the winter.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-48058042312533498442010-11-22T18:53:23.009-05:002010-11-22T18:53:23.009-05:00Lois, just smile knowingly and dodge the question ...Lois, just smile knowingly and dodge the question when they ask!<br /><br />Vicki, it is.
