I'm doing quite well, thank you kindly.

Well, that was quite unexpected! Who would have thought such tentacled annoyances dangers lurk in Bywater Pond and here I thought they all hung out at the Green Dragon! I'm glad both my great grandsons Frodo and Bingo are safe. And thank goodness that Iorhael can do all that strange, and sort of alarming when you think about it, stuff those ( Read more... )

Well, I think the meal is almost ready. Essy and Celly have been such a help. The Frogmorton Goose is ready, and let's see what else we have. I think that should do nicely.

To have Mousie here, and Bingo and his sweetie, and his Primula--you know, I'll never get used to this alternate universe thing since it's nothing that I would have imagined ( Read more... )

Well, it's just a lovely day in Tuckborough. I sat on the veranda with my beautiful great granddaughter, Esmerelda this morning, who's just come home to Great Smials, and had a delightful breakfast of hot cakes, sausage and bacon, muffins with honey butter, fruit salad made with fresh peaches and rasberries picked just this morning, and mint tea ( Read more... )

I want everyone to come and meet my baby boy, Isengar, who has returned to us from the Sea at .long .last.!

We'll have mushroom pie, mushroom casserole, chicken in mushroom sauce, stuffed mushrooms, mushroom souffle, and Tuckborough home brew!

So come to the hill at Great Smials tonight, won't you?

isengar_took, my twelfth-born, my youngest, my little baby, has returned from the sea at long, long last.

Thank goodness he's been keeping up with his laundry. I can't imagine how big a laundry bag he'd need otherwise.

Sennie, my darling lad, welcome home to Great Smials. We have missed you so.

Now wouldn't that just be something if they made me a maia! I could just see Mousie's look of surprise, which isn't much different than her look of boredom, quite frankly, but that's beside the point. Wouldn't she be proud of her old momma? And what would Gerontius think of his lil ole Addy then? Well, a lass can dream, can't she? I better make ( Read more... )

Of course I'm proud to be a hobbit, dears! Without our little down-home ways we'd all be living in Sauronville, now wouldn't we? Mercy me, what a question.

Well, I do declare! It's a sad, sad day, when a delicate little lady has to put down her embroidery because some ole bully has come to threaten our peaceful land of sunshine and flowers, and her menfolk are no where to be found to protect her! I might could just cry my eyes out! But my dear husband Gerontius is off wandering about like some ole ( Read more... )

Tookie, darling, what a lovely evening it has been to sit out on the veranda, watching all the little Tooks at play and the fireflies dancing on the lawn. Mmmmmm. It makes me giddy, my darling. Remember how we used to dance on the lawn to the light of the moon? It's been so long since we've done that, you and I.
