Comment from Esther Brown
I am so very touched by this. Every time I see someone honoring someone else on this site it makes me happy. It isn't about us, it is about the One we honor and share here. You, Debi, Carol, Jim, Ric, TB Botts, Dr Nad and more. Esther

Hi Rhonda,
What a beautiful birthday tribute too Debi. I like how you used a dog to sing her favorite music, and transport her back to a magical world. Great story.

Awww, thank you so much for the review, Cecilia. I had a lot of fun writing that piece. I normally write in the novel category, but keeping up with characters and events can be taxing. A short story to someone you care about is much for enjoyable!!
I love dogs, so the dog aspect just fell into place. I think Debi likes them, too, or at least that's what my sources (Sally) said.
Take care, and thanks again,
Rhonda
Comment from karenina
Oh, my goodness! Is this the number 12 tribute? Number 14? Whenever I'm sure that I've caught up I find another one! I am (amazingly) out of sixes already, and it is midafternoon on TUESDAY! What a dilemma!
Ms. Marquette is the "queen" of writing poems for all of the FanStory Family -- often birthday poems, but as you note -- sometimes a call to prayer for one in need, an anniversary poem, or a condolence poem or book!
Your story is enchanting. Debi is a blessing to us all and I join you in wishing her all the best--always!

Hi Karenina,
Wasn't it lovely to see all the tributes pouring in to Debi. It made my heart glad, and I know it had to hers as well.
That's okay on the 6's. They don't last long with me, either. Plus, I'm not ranked in short stories
I'm glad you liked the story,
Hugs,
Rhonda

WHAT AN IMAGINATION! I would have never thought of something like this as a birthday tribute, but it works on all levels, and I absolutely love the music. Kudos, my friend!

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
This is so amazing as who would have ever thought they could be part of an Alice in Wonderland scenario? This is a dream come true and so are you. Thank you so much for the wonderful story. I had so much fun with this story. I could picture myself reading 1001 Birthday Poems. I would like it even more if I wrote it. Haha.
But this is all so much fun and to also have you highlight the music in your story too was just way too much. Thank you with all my heart for all of this. Then the music is so wonderful. When did we talk about this stuff? I don't' remember it.
But this story and music forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. You are so wonderful my sweet and awesome friend. Thank you again.
Much love, my friend. Debi

Debi, I'm so glad the story touched your heart. It certainly came from mine!!
The book of poems was supposed to have been one you wrote, lol. I may not have made that clear.
We probably hadn't talked about your music choices, but there are some little birdies on here you have discussed it with, lol. And, you are so entirely welcome. You deserve all the accolades you got on here.
Much love,
Rhonda

Comment from Gayla putnam
A talking musical dog. How much more magic could a story possess? As the dog approached, singing, "Queen," I pondered: What would happen next? Little did I imagine it would take me via turquoise flowers to the land where music and poetry are created. Could you blow some of those miracle petals my way? A fun, whimsical call out to the birthday girl. gayla

Hehe, you know, Gayla, as soon as I find that dog, I'm kidnapping her. I could use a few petals myself!
Thanks so much for the review, my friend!!
Hugs,
Rhonda

How fitting that the one who most often delivers tributes to others receives one dedicated to her. She is my unofficial Little Sis and I love her dearly. We often communicate via our reviews of each other's work. Thank you for the wonderful tribute poem, I am sure that she will be delighted.

Hi Nolan,
I had a feeling she would be one of your friends!! You both have tender hearts. I was encouraged by the outpouring of stories and poems that her Birthday generated!!
Hugs,
Rhonda
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Lovely artwork and story to go with it, Rhonda. Your notes are also appreciated. You do a great job with this fantasy story, and I think Debi will love it. I wouldn't mind being in that place, either. Maybe we could have a gathering of like minds there.
I like how you begin with Debi writing her poems and then she saw the puppy. I love the imaginary world you created. It is colorful and peaceful, and singers on top of that, plus a "song festival." A very good conclusion. This is very well written. I'd like to see you do more of this style whenever you get a chance.

Hi Pam,
Thank you so much for the six stars, my friend!
Yeah, I may head for short stories next year, or at least a different style book.
I agree on the gathering of like minds. It was sort of where I was heading with the story. There being that magical land where our muses flit about waiting for us to find our way to them. I appreciate you recognizing that part of it.
I'm glad so many people, yourself included, responding to Debi's Happy Birthday bash. It was good to watch!
Take care,
Rhonda

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Rhonda. I'm glad you liked the "like minds" reference, and it is special to see the work that people are sharing for Debi. I'm glad you started it, and didn't make a book. I think people liked that approach. The book can be confusing.

Hi Sanku,
That you for your sweet review of my post to Debi and for the compliment of it being the best. That's very generous!!
You know, I wish we did, too, and I think it's the reason I write fantasy. It carries me to a different world!
