This is a cute birthday poem for John. I'm sure he will be happy with the music from Billy Joel in lieu of a concert ticket. I love the picture you chose, and you gave us lots of interesting information about John. Blessings to you, and a happy birthday to John. Carol

Awe, Carol, would you believe concert tickets that cost a grand. I have seen BJ in concert four times and John says he has too, but they were never that height.
Thanks so very much for the very kind review and lovely comments for John's poem. I know John will appreciate them too, my dear friend.
Thanks again. Love, Debi
Comment from Sue Smith
A great poem as always although I was surprised by the line 'the best five grandkids to pick on'. In the UK to pick on someone is to give them a hard time. I guess it means something different in the US. But the poem really gives a really clear impression of John as a person. He sounds like a lot of fun.

Hi Sue, yes, because of how I wrote his poem, it is suppose to show he is a light hearted fun loving guy to hang out with. So here to say that guy would love the best kids to pick on means what almost every good grandpa does. That means to give them a hard time is like a fun loving teasing them. My husband does it to our grandkids all the time. They would wonder if he wasn't teasing them about something. But it always does it in love and here I think everyone understands that.
But thank you so much. I appreciate you asking instead of jumping to conclusions . Thanks again, my friend. It is good to see you again.
Love, Debi

The best laid plans of mice and men,
are suddenly shot down when
you are forced to gasp and say no!
The price is too steep so we can't go.
It has been often stated that it is not the gift, but the thought that truly counts. Unfortunately that does nothing to change the reality of the steep cost of the gifts that you would most like to give.

Nicely written birthday poem, Debi. Wishing John a very special birthday spent with family and friends. I wonder if he will be creating his own special birthday meal.

Comment from jmdg1954
I wish I had 10 stars to give.
This is absolutely written to perfection. Your attention to detail is impeccable! How do you retain this detail? Amazing!
Oh, my pool may currently be closed, but there's plenty of rum and food to go around for a FanStory party... come on down!
I can't thank you enough for making this 70th b'day memorable! I'm definitely bookmarking this poem and printing it out.
I'm writing this while on the train to NYC to enjoy a day with my family. And I consider you family!
Thank you sis, with all my heart.
Love ya,
John

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree:-) Did John tell you that one of his sons is a chef? He actually worked at a high-end hotel here in St. Augustine before taking a position, I think, in Jacksonville. I never got to eat at his restaurant here, and I regret that.
John is one of my faves here - he's so nice to talk to, and he's always a gentleman.
The only problem with John is that Yankee thing; Red Sox rule, Yankees drool!
Happy birthday, John. I know how old you are as we share the "1954".
Thanks, Debbie.

Yes, John told me all about that last year when I did a poem for him then too. That is really cool that it is near you. However, I was going go Thanks for the review and for the kind words for his poem.
