Can you believe 11 years!? Thanks for being such a big part of them! I tried to go see our trees when I was in NZ... sad ending to a valiant quest! Cab driver got lost ;)
What a GREAT DAY!!!

Very goodly done dernwyn, wizard too by all counts with knowledge, wisdom and heart:). I love it!
''Sam put his ragged orc-cloak under his master's head, and covered them both with the grey robe of Lorien; and as he did so his thoughts went out to that fair land, and to the Elves, and he hoped that the cloth woven by their hands might have some virtue to keep them hidden beyond all hope in this wilderness of fear...But their luck held, and for the rest of that day they met no living or moving thing; and when night fell they vanished into the darkess of Mordor.'' - - -rotk, chapter III
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

They went in, and Sam shut the door.
But even as he did so, he heard suddenly,
deep and unstilled,
the sigh and murmur of the Sea upon the shores of Middle-earth.

Oh, no, somehow "cello" made it into my notes! 
You are quite welcome, and thank you very much for the correction! Perhaps a kindly Admin could make the change to that post, from "cellos" to "horns"?

That was really cool, dernwyn.
It's always nice to feel appreciated, and really, without all y'all coming around and posting on the boards, we'd be out of a job, and out of a place to hang out and talk Tolkien ourselves. So thank you for the tribute, and thank you for all your other contributions around here. =)

You managed to update the list - I can imagine what a job that must have been! Thank you! *Hugs!*
Once you know that everyone is on it, can you link to it in the "Welcome" section?
