| I do love this! I'm glad to have time to read and this story to read. Loved Frodo in this and I adored Pippin's reaction to Sam and Rose's as yet unmade announcement! Brilliant as always! Author Reply: LOL, I wouls swear that you've read this before. I know your time is at a premium, so I do appreciate you stopping by to leave (again?) a kind word of encouragement. Thanks for reading! | |

| What a marvelous gift Merry gave to his Frodo. :) That year would have been quite difficult, so much to store up and now this wonderful gift given to make it easier. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: It will be interesting to see what other gifts or mementos Frodo will tuck into his rucksack on the way to the Grey Havens, but I don't imagine it will be too much. Mostly memories jotted down into his Journal I should think. I agree that Frodo's last year had to have been difficult for him. Was he initially resentful to the idea of having to leave the Shire to find healing? When or how did he finally succumb to the idea of leaving (again)? These things are what I also intend to explore. Thanks for stoppin by to read! | |

| This looks like the start of an excellent series of tales! I love the way Pippin took note of Frodo, and was able to raise his spirits. And I love the idea of Frodo having that sketch! I look forward to seeing more of what happened that year. Author Reply: Ah! You, too, lol. You're so sweet to read (or at least comment) a second time. I do hope to add to this in the not too distant future. Yours and Gryffinjack's tale, "Testiments of the Past" did force me muse upon the idea that Frodo probably *did* take some mementos with him; not a lot, probably limited to one small carry-on baggage. ;-) I think we can agree that the Hobbiton Moving Company, Ltd. didn't follow Frodo to the Grey Havens. :-) Thank you for stopping by (again) to read! | |

| And they fell for it, just as we fall for it every time that kind of tale gets told among us to this day! Wonderful! Author Reply: LOL, yes they did -- just like I did at the tender age of 15. Someone told me a tall tale (i was gullible) and was quite surprise when they ended the story with "pulling" my leg. ;-) Thanks for reading! | |

| Very good, m'dear Pippinfan. I love all the little things Frodo is tucking into his memory. And he will treasure Merry's drawing of his dearest friends. A wonderful tale! Author Reply: Awww! You're reading it a second time. Frodo will tuck some more into his memory, but it will be interesting to see what he chooses. Thank you for stoppin by to read (again). :-) | |
