Where could my Melba have gotten to?  Have you seen her?

Melba?

After the delayed start to our trip, the monorail ran smoothly and Kevin got us all to Bree in fine time. It's so much fun to have Elly here to talk to about old times, and a nice reminder of how peaceful things are in The Shire now, compared to when I first returned.

So we stopped to get refreshments, and then inquired about getting a cart and ( Read more... )

Well, it's been quite a day. We got back from the woods to find Folly stuck in the sink and learn that Bingo had sent word, and to find mathoms for him from Elly. Then who should show up later but the delightful Elly herself looking more radiant than ever. We accompanied her to Bag End and found ourselves less than well-received, so we came back ( Read more... )

We've been traveling though the woods all day, onward toward the East Farthing. I think we may be near the Woody End now. Uncle Isengar leads us on. We've been following along wherever we've seen broken branches, and where there seems to be a bit of a path, in hopes that this may be the way Bingo went, but I'm not at all sure about that--I don't ( Read more... )

I can't believe we just met the most skilled and gifted smith of the Eldar, second only to Feanor, and he is right next door. I hope it's not too soon, but I want to visit him again and show him some of the work I've done and remind him again that he is more than welcome to visit my smithy. How I long to learn from him ( Read more... )

So . . . that was interesting.*watches Melba quickly open the main door of Back End and hold it open to her with a nervous smile, all desirous to please, smiles uncomfortably back at Melba, pushes back her curls once out of the wind of the Hobbiton winter ( Read more... )

Having spent all day in her workshop, saving for a large and delicious breakfast that Iorhael fixed for everyone, Celandine goes inside and to her room, holding what she just made.

Let me put this in a box. *places the brooch in a box and goes to wash up and change* I hope she'll like it. I don't know where I got the idea that red is her colour, ( Read more... )

Melba and I gave our company of progressively inebriated fellows the slip, since I do want to get up in the morning. I have a project I really want to work on. Was that all right with you, sweets?

After a nice evening of star gazing, complete with Bingo's explosions, my sweets and I came home to find everyone else had finally arrived safely home as well. And Bingo was not only returned to his former size, but seemed to be a little larger than before, which I feel is a good sign, seeing that hobbits are larger than most of these koalas. So ( Read more... )

I feel just wretched. It's not just that I became attached to the little koala. Maybe it's not fair of me, but why did it have to be Bingo! *sighs* Yes, Bingo's very nice. I do like him. But he's always the center of . . . if you know how things work, and unfortunately I do. It's not his fault. But I was the one in the coma and . . . I ( Read more... )
