Hi John, I promised I would be back and here I am. I copied my initial reaction so I could use it as my review as I want you to know how very much this meant to me.

John, oh my goodness, did you ever out do yourself. How terribly sweet and considerate of you. I am so touched and almost speechless, and you know that doesn't happen too often. lol....
I had a ton of laughs while reading your post and the only time I didn't laugh was when I was crying. Because it was so so touching.

You are Amazing, John, and I can't thank you enough dear friend. I will see you back on Sunday with a sixer and once more thank Debbie for the hospitality and a big hug from me to you for being so thoughtful and sweet. Glen read it too and laughed. He said to say thanks.

So I did print it off and read it again and I loved it as much the fourth time I read it this week. Thank you again for the wonderful meal, entertainment, the dogs serving and the hospitality from both you and Debbie. It just doesn't get any better. Thanks sweet bro. You are awesome!! Love, Debi

    Debi.
    You are so so so so so welcome.
    Honestly, I don?t have many friends because of "stuff" from years ago (which I will write here on FS one day), so I cherish people like you, Jumbo James with all my heart.

    You are amazing and I am honored to have you and call you a friend. I pray that never changes.

    Please know, I?m here for you for whatever support you may need.

    Again happy anniversary and I?m working on that other post I tickled you with.

    Be good my friend.
    Luv ya, sis.

    James,
    Thank you for making time to read my tribute to Debi and Glen. She is "good people" as they say.

    I?m honored by your generous six star rating, my brother! And also for the correction.

    It was fun to write this post. Say, when is your 50th?

    Cheers, my friend and brother!
    John

A nicely written tribute to Glen and Bebi, they surely deserve great accolades for the display of what faithfulness can truly do. It is a marathon, that my dear wife and I have walked, what a wonderful tribute to them, well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy. You?ve been married beyond the golden 50?
    We just celebrated 45 a few weeks back.

    Awesome it is?

Sorry out of sixes, poems about this pair have taken them all. Another amazing write. I have just one question, where is this restaurant and is it far from Junee in Australia. The meal sounds amazing. And do the provide cab and airplane fares to and from the restaurant. Lastly, do they have a booking available for November 15, this year. Hopefully, all charges courtesy of Fanstory. And, if that's the case, everyone is invited.

    We?ll have to email Tom and see if he has $$$ in his budget to pull it off!

    Great review. Thank you. Thoughtful sixes are meaningful.

    Cheers,

I am positive Debi enjoyed reading this. I enjoyed reading this but I'm sure Debi was totally ecstatic and was Glen when she shared it with us. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great job, John, with this fine chapter in the anniversary book. Sounds like a terrific meal as we have all come to expect, which I'm sure they wish they had for real. What a great tribute to the lucky couple who've managed this admirable feat!

    Fifty years is quite the feat. I?m currently 5 behind.

    Enjoy the weekend.

Prose or poetry, it's the thought that counts and your story of providing a delicious evening of celebration for Debi and Glen's 50th Anniversary is touching and sweet. Very nice job!

Dang, I wish I was a part crasher! Sounds delicious. I couldn't tell you anything about Minnesota cuisine. Nada. But I do know a delightfully sweet married couple who are having their 50th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary Debi and Glen!
Hats off to the menu, Chef John, the food, music, and ambience. You're a stellar friend.
Your addition to the book is priceless.
Sending you my best today as always.
Sal :))

    Thank you Sally. I was thinking of looking at Minnesota dishes, but then I said, nah! Do what you know?

    Thank you for this wonderful review and for creating this book for Debi & Glen. I?m sure she?s over the moon with it.

    Divertiti tuo notte (enjoy your night).

You did this up in your own special way. No one else will do one like this. I always like it when a chef or cook tells me how they made the food. One even told me a story about how he elbowed a rather large woman who was attempting to abscond with his bunch of arugula from his cart! It had been the last one. Life can be fierce. Good writing. Karen

Hahaha, you did absolutely fine. I don't write poetry either so you and I both. This is a very creative piece. I think Debi and Glen will have a wee chuckle. Ulla :)))
