| What a wonderful birthday for young Bilbo! I just loved it--especially Uncle Isen's gift! So wonderful to see this story updated! Author Reply: Thank you! Isen's gift was actually a direct result of Miss Dora Baggins' etiquette advice, so it worked out beautifully. Was the pipe a Tolkienism, by chance, or was it fanon? Unfortunately I cannot find a single scrap of Tolkien here in the house. Oh, all right, I can find The Hobbit and the Sil, but nothing else, not my Letters, nor Peoples of Middle Earth, and I'm especially bereft not to be able to find any of the THREE copies of LOTR that we have. *sigh* | |

| Another tale updated that we've been waiting for! Lovely, lovely! And what appropriate gifts he's received! Am looking at the snow that has been accumulating on my doorstep since I got home at nine, and the pups have already left their doggy trails in it. Makes me glad to not be in the Shire during that Long Winter, although once again, in spite of heat tape, the pipes from the pressure tank have once again frozen. It is getting too much to constantly face such hazards! Gonna build an insulated room around the pressure tank when the weather is better--gotta be done! Love to the hubby, animals, and young ones! Author Reply: We made maple syrup candy this evening, boiling the syrup and pouring it over clean snow. Sticky but good. We were going to make snow ice cream, but I think the candy maxed out our sweet tooths (teeth?). Sorry to hear about the frozen pipes! Our garage door is frozen shut, and someone left the light on when going to fetch the snow shovel, early in the storm, and no way to get inside to turn off the light. *sigh* Thanks for the good words. Glad to hear you got home safely ahead of the storm. | |

| lifting the carven wonder carefully in his hand Such a joyous, wonderful Birthday! Your descriptions of everything -- food and love and gifts -- made me feel as if I was there with them. Author Reply: It was a lot of fun to imagine and write out, as well. Been ripening long enough, whew. Finally got the inspiration to continue this story because of the amazing snowstorm that has blanketed our area and brought everything to a stop for the past three days. Now ice is falling, so we'll be stuck inside again tomorrow. It is amazing to look out on the winter wonderland. It hardly ever snows here. (It was a treat to be "stuck" at home today. Actually didn't feel guilty, sitting down and writing out a chapter or two, and reading a bit as well. What fun!) Thanks! | |
