Belated happy birthday! How I love flying dreams... Lovely, the way you captured this characters exuberance and savage joy!

All right, here we go, "Happy Birthday to you, and to your muse, too. We all adore your writing, Best Wishes to You!" This was a lovely, hobbity birthday present for the rest of us, as well. Landroval reminds me of a retired motorcycle gang member I knew years ago. He came to the office where I worked to pick up his wife ( a co-worker) for lunch. She said "just a minute, I have to run next door to the Credit Union first." Said he, "I am a BIKER, we do not WALK ANYWHERE!" Sure enough, they RODE across the parking lot to the other building! I have enjoyed all of these little pictures. You do very well getting inside of the subjects of the pieces and letting us see through their eyes.

Thank you for the gift, dear cousin! Happy Day!! Eagles are good for rescuing stranded hobbits too, thank God!

Namarie, God bless, Your bloom, who celebrates your life and hopes you have a great time doing the same! :)

awww! please dont be dejected... (starts singing Happy Birthday To You...)


that was a nice one. i always loved Gwaihir and Landroval for rescuing Frodo and Sam, and for helping the Captains of the West. That was such a lovely dream you had. No wonder you didnt want to wake up. when i was a kid i always envied the freedm birds seem to enjoy, especially the. great eagles soaring way up there, it must be wonderful to see the world from such a vantag
e point...

Happy birthday! :)
And you made a nice birthday present for yourself, I especially lke the last two lines, they are so powerful (if that's the right expression).

Yes, that's an eagle's point of view! Why bother to walk when you can fly!

I wish you a very happy birthday :-)

Author Reply: Hello Andrea,

wish I could fly. Wouldn't that be great? Oh, the freedom of soaring through the skies, looking for a Snitch ... er, I mean a worm ... er, well, okay. I'm not a witch, so Quidditch is off the cards. And I don't fancy living on worms. Maybe flying isn't all it's cracked up to be ...

Still, the odd (occasional) helicopter trip would be nice!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, and for R & R-ing,

M ;)

Happy Birthday! I hope you have an exhilarating flying dream tonight.

I love the Eagles, and enjoy seeing events and people through their POVs.

Author Reply: Hello shirebound,

hope you enjoyed Landroval's pov, then! Unfortunately, I didn't have a flying dream last night. But I'm fairly sure Detective Robert Goren (from Law & Order: Criminal Intent) was in it somewhere, so that was a very nice birthday present from my own subconscious!

Thanks for R & R-ing (and the birthday wishes!),

M ;)
