This and That  by Lindelea 3 Review(s)

My beloved husband more than once dreamed of owning a bar, to which I kept appearing to agree whilst in reality going, "NO! NO, NO, NOOOOOO!!!" in the quiet of my mind, and finding--diversions so that the idea never came to fruition. And it was precisely THIS kind of conversation I was trying so hard to avoid!

Oh, but the Beris of this world do dither when they're drunk, don't they? Heh! Love this, and had to reread the last one while I was at it.

Author Reply: LOL! I can't imagine wanting to own a bar. A pub, on the other hand... Complete with elderly Labrador making its way from table to table, politely offering to dispose of remnants on the plates. Now that, I might be able to contemplate.

Lindelea!

Absolutely lovely to see a posting from you!! :-)) Delightful little vignette. I seem to remember a fair few parties as such! LOL! Misspent adulthood in England. LOL! Ahhh! the circular conversations of the slightly (or not so slightly) inebriated. I can just see Pippin holding forth with the fun stories of their "abroad" shall we say. As it is with all warriors. They talk of the good times and try to bury the bad times. Lovely!

Thank you for this!

Stay Safe, Mellon nin!

((hugs))

Author Reply: Ah, yes, those were the days. And we can hope for good times to come, and a time when all the troubles of today are firmly in the rearview mirror, so to speak.

Happy New Year to you and yours! Stay safe, and (((hugs)))

This is a delightful end/beginning of the year. Good friends, good food, and good feelings about what is to come. Happy New Year, Lindelea, and may we all find within it the light-heartedness of hobbits and joy in simple pleasures.

Author Reply: Thank you, my friend, and a very Happy New Year to you and yours in return!
