| So glad to see that Bilbo is having adventures, after his departure from the Shire. Loved how Aragorn took off after Arwen. Author Reply: Thank you, Grumpy. I'm glad you enjoyed. BIlbo is an endearing character to me! | |

| What a wonderful epilogue! Bilbo back in Rivendell, and just as honored and beloved as I have always imagined him there! And do I understand that beginning a-right? There is a competition for the most awful rhymes? LOL! That's a perfect explanation for "Tra-la-lally!" I enjoyed his reunion with Gandalf, but the best part was his renewed acquaintance with Aragorn/Estel/Dunadan! What fun that they wrote the verse together! It's clear that they will have a warm friendship from here on out. I do wish we could learn more about Samid, his errand, and the Blue Wizards. But maybe that will be a tale for another time! I can hope. This was a delightful story! Author Reply: Thank you again for your kind support, Dreamflower! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this tale! Bilbo is such an endearing character! When I was re reading parts in LOTR when he shows up, everybody seems os fond of him it is a deluight to imagine what his presence in Imladris must have meant for the residents... and it is obvious from his conversation with Frodo in many Meetings that he developed a strong friendhip with Aragorn... IT was great fun to write. And regarding the awful rhyming, yes, I told the tale of that contest in mAthom which is kind of prequel to this story... :-) I wonder about the Blue Wizards too. | |

| What an enjoyable ending! I loved Estel and Bilbo composing together. I like that the return of the cloak pin being *almost* an afterthought. :) "Tra-la-la-lally!" < Dang ring... always messing around with people... There is only one person it belongs to. The very one that should not have it. I am glad it looks like Samid may have lived to love another day. Cook! :)Gandalf comes than goes - abruptly as just about always. But, it would seem strange any other way. And lastly, Bilbo is guided onto the path of dreams by those who know it well. "Have you travelled far?" "Why would I?" Oh, why indeed... I want to live in Rivendell too. Great little story. Thanks for putting this out for us here to read! Author Reply: I love that scene in FOTR when Bilbo is looking for the Dunadan so they can polish his song together, and then BIlbo tells Frodo that he composed the "All that si gold.." verses for Aragorn when he first learnt of the Dunadan's identity... I figured that they must have developed a fast friendship, and that was what i wanted to explore here... Turth be told, I have always had BIlbo´s last years in Rivendell as my dream retirement! :-) Thanks to you for your unfaling support and sense of humour. YOu see, I remembered THrungwethil here! :-) | |

| I'm so smitten with Bilbo's love of learning and new projects. We all should be so lucky as we grow old. And what an idyllic life he lives. reading and writing and thinking and listening and eating and sleeping. Who could ask for more? Have you travelled far, Tuluniben?” “Why would I?” Why indeed. Except for the bad things out there that Aragorn has to face. And except for the passing of the Elves. Author Reply: That's how I figure retirement... :-) I hope it´s not too far from truth! Thank-you as always, Daw. | |
