That is amazing - and I don't believe in "coincidence", you were meant to take that tour, Uncle Baggins was following his heart!

How about that!
That must have been very moving for all concerned.
I have been reading it. What a story!
Hope you sell more books there! This is really wonderful.

I'm predictable. I like to wear all my large rectangular and circular shawls wrapped around and draped over one shoulder, with a pretty shawl pin or brooch to secure it there. This one is big enough to be pulled up like a hood, too, if necessary.
I found the leafy collection, but my dragon shawl/sash pin is still missing...

has apple cider to die for. This stuff is the best i have ever had, makes the store bought stuff ... .
Young sil took some pictures as mrs sil and i did the 1mi fun walk/run and 5k respectively. Both of our performance were a bit above our expectations. Mrs. sil actually managed a little jog the whole way in her successful journey back from back surgery and i managed a 23:19 despite minimal running and a still maximal 'navel station'.
Young sil has quite a few races to go, about 8 or nine.
" 'Fair lady Goldberry!' said Frodo at last, feeling his heart move with a joy that he did not understand. He stood as he had at times stood enchanted by fair elven-voices; but the spell that was now laid upon him was different: less keen and lofty was the delight, but deeper and nearer to mortal heart; marvellous and yet not strange."
Chapter VII: In the House of Tom Bombadil; FOTR's
Faerie contains many things besides elves and fays and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants or dragons; it holds the seas, the sun, the moon, the sky; and the earth, and all things that are one in it: tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted."
— J.R.R. Tolkien

 Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

What wonderful news to come home (to New Zealand) to!

Do we find happiness so often that we should turn it off the box when it happens to sit there?
