As a dentist, John, you should talk to El about her teeth grinding when she sleeps. (I guess this is why Ricky and Lucy slept in separate beds; no one will pull the blankets off the one bed.)
I was looking at those heavy sheets and blankets for summertime, and then I remembered that Lynn Johnston lived in North Bay, Ontario, where the lows are in the low 50s °F to low 10s °C around this time of year.
King-sized beds were invented for a reason. Our bedtime habits truly establish our tolerance threshold. If you are OK with your partner’s sack-time etiquette (or lack thereof)…then you might be destined for a long lasting relationship. If not, you are doomed. King-sized beds and separate bathrooms have been touted as saving graces. I wouldn’t have dreamed of separate bathrooms until this luxury presented itself in my most recent living space. Yes…give me a home where the buffalo roam, but make the privy a two-holer!
The strip you see here was inspired by a friend of mine. He once complained to me about his wife’s ability to swipe all the blankets in her sleep: she would roll toward him, tucking the blanket under her side. Then she would clutch the top of the remaining blanket and roll the other way, pulling everything with her. He called it “The Russell roll.” (Russell is her maiden name). I thought it would make a great strip…but this is how the muse made it turn out.
If you travel to Germany, for example, in the hotels the “king” bed is two smaller beds pushed together. And there are two small down comforters; one per person. Here in America, if you have the luxury to do so, separate bedrooms and separate bathrooms are the way to go. Sleep and sex are two different entities!
I’ve never understood the concept of a double quilt! I need my own thankyouverymuch! We have a double bed and I wouldn’t want to sleep in a separate bedroom to my husband but share a quilt? nooo!
Sleeping… together…. is not something that most couples think about when considering living together. And.. things change as we get older. Twin beds soles the blanket hogger.. Loud breathers.. nothing to help there short of seperate rooms

I guess having the house to themselves with the kids at camp isn’t as romantic as you might think.

This is why my parents encouraged us to ‘practice’ before marrying. Worked a treat for 46 years so far!
