Here we go!
1. Who is your historical crush?
Mary – Charity, honey, do you know how old I am and how YOUNG I was when I got married? My historical crush is my husband.
Charity – AW! Now, how can I compete with that! AND, looking at your pic, I don’t even believe, for a second, that you are old!!
I have a total crush on George Washington. He was so awesome!!!!
The problem is…I see this picture and wonder why he is my crush???
— You totally win for saying hubby!

2. What is your scariest police encounter?
Mary – Once a policeman in my tiny town (pop. 500) stopped me for having the red glass broken out of my taillight. He gave me a fix-it ticket…there was no fine I just had to get the taillight fixed. So, I took it and drove on home and about a half mile down the road here come sirens and strobe lights. I pulled over and the same cop comes up to my window and says, “You’re under arrest.”
I gasped and he laughed. “No you’re not, I just forgot to have you sign the ticket.”
I smiled, signed and drove on, but my heart was still racing and if I wouldn’t have gotten arrested for it, I’d have yelled at the guy. (except I never yell at anyone, so I probably wouldn’t have)
Charity – Oh man! That was so screwed up!! What was he thinking??? hahaha.
One time I was driving along and blasting some music really loudly. Apparently a cop was behind me trying to get me to pull over for a while and I totally didn’t see him. Anyway, when I finally did, he was about to arrest my butt!! Well, once he saw I was just a clueless blonde, he told me that I was driving at night with no lights on and I needed to be careful. I thanked him and headed on my merry way. This time I look in my rear view mirror and I see him running at me and waving his arms. I stop and stick my head out the window. He comes panting and running up to me and says, “You still don’t have your lights on!!!!”. hahahahahaha. We both had a good laugh (thankfully!! whew).

3. If you could create a coffee flavor for the Keureg, what flavor would you create?
Mary – Do they have a caramel frosted cinnamon roll flavor? I could go for that. Or I could just get the cinnamon roll. Now I’m hungry.
Charity – Those are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!!! They aren’t caramel, but they are the perfect k-cup. So, I wouldn’t even create one because perfection has been reached.
— Great minds…

4. What is the hardest word to say in the English language?
Mary – I’m going with Worcestershire Sauce.
Charity – haha! Great one! I am going to say, “Rural”. That word is atrocious!!! It’s impossible to say!
— I gotta say it’s another tie!!!

5. Do you garden? What kind of things?
Mary – No, but My Cowboy husband does and he’s great. We eat the best fresh vegetables on earth! We had corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes, new potatoes and beets for lunch and watermelon for dessert. We’re inches from being vegetarians this time of year. Just because…who can eat more food than that at one meal?
Charity – Jealous. JEALOUS! I have a black thumb. That is no joke!!!!!
— No contest!

6. Favorite Star Wars character?
Mary – You’re kidding right?
Han Solo. After that movie I said to someone, “He might not be the star but the coolest guy there was Han Solo!” Then I found out it wasn’t only ME who thought that! Remember, Harrison Ford was NOT famous at this time.
Charity – That’s true!! I can’t believe there was a time in history when this was the case. I was born in the 70’s, so he was well on his w
ay to fame by the time I cared about anything besides Mary Poppins.
I like the little guys that play the song in the tavern.
— Definitely Mary! Han Solo is legit!!

8. How do you strive to bring God the most glory?
Mary – I really hope through my writing I bring God glory. I feel like I can reach so many people with a solid Christian message in a really entertaining and fun book. This is my pulpit, but I don’t preach sermons I just make a point of faith.
Charity – Love it! Our ministry is with the gifts God gave us.
— God wins!

9. Favorite 80’s tv show?
Mary – Remington Steele. No Contest. I was so in love with that show.
Charity – ohhhh!!! Nice! A young Pierce Brosnon!! I can’t imagine why you were in love with “the show”…
My family was really into Scarecrow and Mrs. King, but I really loved the Mission: Impossible series!!! Sooooo good!!! Martin Landau was in it. That’s all I need to say!
— Tie!

10. Which Disney prince is the most handsome?
Mary – I’m going with my first gut reaction. The Beast in Beauty and the Beast—after he’s transformed he is just ADORABLE!
Charity – You are the FIRST person I have ever heard say that!!!! I have to go with Eric, followed by Aladdin.
I thought this was cool. Someone painted what they would look like in real life. hahaha! Check out our choices!
— I definitely win that one!!! Look above!
