| Oh, that's nice! I feel like I've had a little summertime visit to the Shire - a lovely break from lockdown in Michigan! Thank you! Author Reply: That is exactly the feeling I was going for. (((hugs))) | |

| Lindelea! That was absolutely delightful! Bill holds the whole Gamgee family in great affection. I love that Rosie has Bill to confide in. I love that Bill is so well cared for in the days of the Fourth Age. Such a lovely story! Hope you feeling better after your go-around with the dastardly stick of butter. Stay safe! My boss has found a way for me to do some work at home so I won't burn through my annual leave quite so fast! Bless her! (((virtual hugs))) MM Author Reply: It is so lovely to step back and simply write fluff for a change. It doesn't come naturally to me; I seem to find energy in angst and h/c (the "h" part energizes me to keep writing until I can reach the "c" part). But when the Muse is tractable, she seems to delight in piling treasure on top of reward on top of all the good things one might wish for, and more. (Bill's sampling a bit of his flower decor stems from a dim childhood memory of seeing a racehorse in the winner's circle grabbing a mouthful of the winner's flowers... I believe they were thornless roses, but I don't remember the details anymore.) I love hearing what you love! This was a bit of pure fluff, really, sort of a tension-reliever after writing about Bill at the doors to Moria, very traumatic for all involved, indeed. I am keeping well away from any and all butter and cheese (sigh). In good news: I have healed enough to be able to eat chocolate again, which has always gone so well with fanfic. I'm so glad your boss has found a solution to help! These are such worrisome times. I know I am blessed to be able to work remotely. Although the elder cat finds it something of a trial. He has taken it upon himself to bite me on the tendon at the side of my knee when he thinks I have sat too long and need to get up and move around to get the blood circulating. (((hugs))) Hope this finds you and yours well. | |

| Ah! How sweet this is! Bill is worthy of all the love and labor. Author Reply: He certainly is! Isn't it fun to spoil people, especially when they're the kind who don't get spoiled by all the spoiling? (Speaking of spoiling, I am eating dark chocolate for breakfast. I have not done that in just about forever. Shhh! Don't tell anybody. :) ) Thanks for the good word. I hope you are staying well. Happy birthday again! (Now belated wishes rather than early.) | |

| This is such a heart warming, loving, and beautiful story. Such a happily-ever-after for Bill, and so very much deserved. Thank you for this sweetness today. Author Reply: You're so very welcome. Thanks for stopping to leave a good word. (hugs) May this find you and yours well. Stay safe. | |
