Dear Kay and Bob, We had so much fun with you last night! Thank you for that amazing dinner. The chicken was so fantastic that my kids are begging me to get the recipe—I can tell you that has never happened before! Everything was delicious, including of course that amazing dessert that looked so professional I still can’t believe you MADE that. We so appreciated your having us. It was great getting to know everyone better. We look forward to more fun in the future! Thanks again. Yours, Lisa Example
