Cripes it's great to see you! Don't worry about those threads over in RR. Even though the posts drop off the board, you KNOW they love to go back and revisit. Just post on the old thread and link it in a current thread and they'll eat it right up ;) *hugs* It's great to have you here!

I haven't really been away, but it's hard for me to get to Fiesta, as I'm usually buried in work on Friday. I'm making an effort today to wave at everyone old and new. ***waves!*** Chilly day here in Detroit, and kind of grey. Can you send a hobbit over here with some kind of flaming concoction?

It is not defeated by the ways of the world, for it does not come from experience, but from our nature and First Being. If we are indeed the Eruhin, the Children of the One, then He will not suffer Himself to be deprived of His own, not by any enemy, not even by ourselves. This is the last foundation of estel, which we keep even when we contemplate the End. Of all His designs the issue must be for His children's joy."

You, myself, entmaiden...there are precious few of us around any more. Of course, that just leaves more for us, lol! A wine and food convention? Sounds like heaven to me! Enjoy the weekend, Donry!

Hugs all around , here and your way. Thanks! Yes, perhaps one day:).
"Tolkien, like Lewis, believed that, through story, the real world would become a more magical place, full of meaning. We see its patterns and colors in a fresh way. The recovery of a true view of the world applies both to individual things, like hills and stones, and to the cosmic - the depths of space and time itself. For in sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, there is a "survey" of space and time. Reality is captured on a miniature scale. Through stories like The Lord of the Rings, a renewed view of things is given, illuminating the homely, the spiritial, the physical, and the moral dimensions of the world." Tolkien and C.S. Lewis- The Gift of Friendship -Duriez May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings! In the air, among the clouds in the sky Here is where the birds of Manwe fly Looking at the land, and the water that flows The true beauty of earth shows With the stars of Varda lighting my way In all the realms this is where I stay In the realm of Manwë Súlimo By El~Cugu (From the website: 'The realm of Manwe')

Fiesta wouldn't be the same without your grumbles. That, and your piccies of Sean Bean. Hope you can join us again later and hope your weekend is a good one.

Good to see you! I'd clink my glass with yours, but my flaming concoction and your red wine would probably explode.

*looks into empty mug* Hm, could I please have some hot coffee to go, Altaira? And a drop or two of Bailey's will do just fine! Aren't these exciting times! I'll never forget GdT's first post, who else but a Hobbit fancier would start with a riddle! Happy Weekend, everyone, stay warm and dry!

It was lovely to get your email and it's nice to come back for a visit. Good to see lots of familiar faces here too. Love you to bits g and hope life is treating you as well as you deserve.

Luckily for you (and other newbies to Fiesta), virtual drinks don't cost very much. So glad you made it to the party. Here's to a fabulous four years, and then some!
