Baggins!  by Grey Wonderer 112 Review(s)

Pippin and Dennis the Menace have a good deal in common! Heh! I loved rereading this one about the "old shoe."

Author Reply: I love the way little ones can miss-hear a thing and give it a whole new meaning. Bilbo was just lucky that Pip didn't give him away.

Another one that was well worth rereading! I'd forgotten about the use to which Saradoc put the bowl of punch! Heh!

Author Reply: Saradoc was resourceful in this one. I do like Saradoc Brandybuck. Thanks for re-reading and reviewing again.

Poor lad--can't keep up with these two--or the serving lass! Heh!

Author Reply: No one can drink more and drink it better than those with serious years of practice. Frodo needs more practice.

And the wee Took has been properly managed without realizing it at all, by the most devious Hobbit in the entire Shire! Love his idea that Bilbo just doesn't understand about children when in truth he understands them better than they do themselves! Heh!

Author Reply: I do believe that Bilbo would have been a match for any child, even a Took child. LOL

And this one--no deviousness in this one--only the accepting mixed grief and pride of those who will guard the willing sacrifice until his time comes to go on alone to what only he can do.

Deeply thoughtful.

Author Reply: This was one of my very rare serious ones. I always wonder where they come from when they turn up.

Ah, been a good time since I read this one--definitely worth another read. Ah, Bilbo, you devious soul, you!

Author Reply: It would have been very difficult to get something over on Bilbo by this point. Spending time with Wizards, Elves, and Dwarves probably put him way ahead. That and just the fact that he is Bilbo Baggins.

Ah! Have I read any of these, I wonder? I hope to read at least some I've not seen before, although with your stories they're always worth a second read!

Author Reply: I don't know if you've read them or not. Some of them have been here for a while now. I sometimes forget this little grouping and then something turns up and I write another chapter for it. This time it was the Birthday.
If you haven't read them then I do hope you enjoy them. And thank you for the very nice compliment. Happy 22nd!

Thank you for your present to us all GW! :)


?should it be advise or advice?

Author Reply: Thank you for reading!
I see you've found Waldo again too. Can't fool you, can I? Thanks! I corrected it. I really do appreciate the help. As you can tell, this, was not beta'd.

Happy Bilbo and Frodo's Birthday to you!

“Happy Birthday, Bilbo. May your life never be dull,”

Sounds like the perfect wish for any birthday. Perhaps Belladonna was saying it a bit wistfully too even though she delcares that every day is an adventure.

Author Reply: Perhaps she was. Just because it's an adventure it doesn't mean it's the adventure you'd like to be having so maybe, like most parents she was wishing Bilbo a better life.
Or maybe she really did find each day to be an adventure. Something to think about.

But there ain’t no eaves at Bag End, and that’s a fact. ;)

Poor Frodo, he’ll be hearing about this for a long time, as well he should. He didn’t think his plan out very well at all, did he? I enjoyed Frodo’s horror when he realized he was thinking like Pippin, and Sam’s barely-contained amusement at the whole situation, as well as the lusty critters in the bread box. Hm, maybe this would be a good time for someone to invent the screen door. ;)

Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed Frodo's little disaster. Sam and the Gaffer enjoyed it very much. Those lusty critters in the bread box were kind of entertaining weren't they? I like your idea about a screen door. Maybe Sam could invent one. (That would make a good plot bunny for you.) Sam could start thinking about how to let the smell of the garden into the smial without letting in the wildlife and come up with a screen door! You should write that. Happy New Year!
