    Thank you so much, Karenina.

    Yes, it was primarily written with Debi and Glenn in mind after she mentioned #50 upcoming..

    Much appreciated.

    I suspected as much. (You're that kind of nice guy)--

    I'm sure they have learned to share nicely, or they would not have made it to their Golden Anniversary~

I love a story with a surprise ending that's just funny! Very good. I was expecting something else to happen maybe a boyfriend to enter the room? Who knows; anyway, fantastic!

Hi John, ha, ha, ha. Very good, very cute. I love the twist at the end of the story. After 50 years together, people know what is important, and on this very night, his French fries was at the top of his list. Also, no one likes to eat cold French fries. Woman ... haven't you figured that out yet. Lol. A fun story. Congratulations on your win! Well done. Margaret

    Sorry for the late response. It was a looong busy workday and I?m
    beat.

    I?m glad you liked this shortie story. After Debi Marquette mentioned to me her upcoming 50th I had to put a smile on her face.

    Thank you for reading.

Thank you for a well-needed smile! You set up the scene of a perfect, romantic anniversary dinner beautifully, so the French fry twist caught me totally off-guard, as intended. Nicely done. Congratulations on your well-earned contest win.

I am happy to see you won the contest. There were a few other really good ones, but yours was the most amusing. Keep on writing so I have more of your work to enjoy.

Fries my butt. My woman tries to sample everything in my plate. Often she wants to tell me what to order so she can split with me and enjoy two dishes she wants. She is dang lucky she is so hot!

Great piece. Wonderful win, my friend.

How did I miss this?? Oh Shoot. I have been doctoring so much that I am not even posting too much, and dang it how did you know to tell me that. Mine was blind. LOL.. anyway, this is so sweet and if we were just thinking what we should do for our day. What an awesome post and no wonder you won first place. I love it.
You are awesome by the way!! Are you and Debbie close to it too??

    It originally was a blind entry, so that?s probably how you didn?t see it (no problem). After you told me you have your 50th on 5/18 I got to thinking of a post and this contest came up. I didn?t want to put your name in the notes, you know, privacy purposes! I think it?s fantastic you?ll celebrate #50! Awesome?

    If I don?t get kicked out before 4/28 we?ll celebrate #45 (my poor wife)!

    I hope you?re feeling okay with bc all this doctoring! Keep me posted!

    Luv ya sis!

    Oooh, because I do try to get to you if I see it. Thanks so much. You are such a sweetheart. But LOL, how did you know it was me on this one? This is blind too. Hahaha!

Your ending surprised me. You have a strong feel of romance but this man is very protective of his fries. Excellent little tale that draws the reader in and has a surprise ending. Congrats on winning the contest.
