Welcome GHG. :-)
How wonderful of you to organize a Tolkien get-together of such special magnificence, and how good of Barbed Wire Books to host it. I'm *very* curious about the silent auction!
We shall definitely try to attend.

I'll have to think about that.

It's close to home for me too, but I've kind of burned out on Tolkien over the past dozen years. I mostly hang around this place for the people now.

There are lots of great people at Grey Havens but there will be lots of Tolkien, too. Whatever draws you there, you are most welcome!

Uncle Baggins whisked me off to the mountains and we went on a hike, which is what we usually do on Sunday afternoons. But I thought of you, and re-read the destruction of the Ring scene in LotR, and the Fields of Cormallen, as we were sitting in Nicky's in Estes Park waiting for our dinner :-)

We were wrangled into pet and house sitting for brother, s.i.l. and kids while they went off Spring break camping. I'd like to say I read some Tolkien while wrangling dogs and baby hamsters but, alas, throwing tennis balls and cutting up fruits and veggies had to suffice. I did meet with some friends who have a small, but dedicated, Tolkien reading group last week to finish our foray into Tolkien's letter. I guess that counts.
Anyway, keep us posted on the next meetings. I'd still love to meet the group. I hope it went smashingly on Sunday!
