Bless Nel for her sense and inventiveness and encouragement, and Rosemary for her patience and persistence, and the hired hand for his perception! And soon Ferdi will have his blankie back, and all will once again be right with the world as Merry recovers from his injuries!

Wonderful!

Author Reply: It will be such a relief for wee Ferdi to have his blankie back!

Got to go and cuddle youngest now, as she had an unfortunate close encounter with scalding coffee tonight. I wish we'd gotten ice on it quicker than we did, but now that we're home I'm going to bind up the burns with honey so they'll heal quicker.

Looking forward to your visit!

Oh, good! I was feeling so badly for the poor lasses toiling along; I'm so glad they are found. This has been such a delightful story--I'm almost sorry to see it wind down!

Author Reply: So am I! But all good things must come to an end sometime. (Bad things too, thankfully!)

Am in an odd mood tonight. Went to Krispy Kreme to celebrate with their free inauguration donuts, and they had ten cent coffee too! And youngest wee hobbit (who drinks coffee, even tho we tell her it'll stunt her growth) managed to spill her scalding coffee on herself resulting in 2nd degree burns, poor lamb.

The manager was so worried, he kept bringing us things. First aid spray. Gauze pads. Triple antibiotic cream. Medical tape. A dozen free donuts. Whew.

It wasn't the restaurant's fault, but of course in today's society I guess he didn't want to take any chances.
