I love the Neiman Marcus cookies. The recipe I have makes such a big batch, I need my husband to stir the stiff dough because it's too hard for me to do it alone. But I gotta say, it's a good thing it makes so many cookies because they disappear so quickly, if there weren't so many, I'd never get to eat any! My daughter also makes amazing ginger snaps that are sinful when you pair them up with a great cup of coffee!
@ May - If two people are total opposites, and not just opposite sides of the same coin, you're probably right, which is why we have a 53% divorce rate. Luckily Toni and Hunter don't have that problem.
@ Sue - I think there are those with a lot in common that have wonderful relationships, but I don't think it's a necessity.
@ Barbara - I couldn't agree more. I think they have to have the same moral compass but everything else is up for grabs...
@ Tracie - Opposites tend to have symbiotic relationships--at least it's that way with me and my DH.
@ Darci - Exactly, and it's true too!
@ Sigrun - Complimenting is a good thing. I cook, my husband cleans--it works for us. I'm so glad you can related to Toni and Hunter. I just adore those two!
@ Ashley - I have to agree with you. Major life decisions are a good thing to agree on.
@ Mary - I guess you're right but part of being in a relationship is give and take. I think if you get that down, you're golden!
@ Margorie --Sometimes opposite is not quite so opposite--just different sides of the same coin. I like to think that in essentials people are more alike than not.
@ Renee - I'm so glad you think so. I remember my mother telling me "There's only room in the mirror for one." In our case, it's there's only room on the microphone for one. I married a real quiet guy too--but I sometimes wonder if it's because he can't get a word in edgewise!
@Shirley -- I think if it works, it usually works very well. Or at least it has in my case (knock wood) we just celebrated our 22nd anniversary a few weeks ago.
@ Karen - That's wonderful, Karen. Isn't it lovely to see your family so happy? That's the dream I have for my kids--three teenagers just putting their toes into the dating pool.
@ Debbie -- That's a very good point. I think one of the things that attracted me so much to my husband (and Hunter for that matter) is that they both were so comfortable in their own skin, and Toni and I were not.
@ Dawn--Me too, Dawn!
@ Leticia - Maybe you're right. I'm enjoying the ride and I think Toni and Hunter are too!
I'm so excited to have two more Grace Burrowes books to read. Off to download Lady Sophie...I already took care of downloading Val's book earlier. Now to find the time to read.
