I love my sewing room upstairs in one of the larger bedrooms. He sits in the famiily room and watche tv or in the livingroom on his computer when it is to cold to be in his garage. If we need one another we just holler and that seems to work. Doesn't bother either of us to be in different rooms. We spend most evenings together and after 50 years next June, i guess we are used to it. I always say "distance makes the heart grow fonder"
