Aunt Dora Baggins had a stroke Can't Post

I am Aunt Dora Baggins' sister and posting at her request to let you all know that she had a stroke last Thursday. She received quick and excellent care and is recovering rapidly, though she is still in the hospital.

Oh no! [In reply to] Can't Post

Thank you so much for letting us know. And thank goodness things are progressing well.

I will definitely pray for her and send positive thoughts in her direction.

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

She's one of my favorite TORnsibs.

Prayers and good thoughs going her way to get better.

Thank you for letting us know.

******************************************
That hobbit has a pleasant face,
His private life is a disgrace.
I really could not tell to you,
The awful things that hobbits do.
Things that your paper never prints
They only speak of them in hints.
They have such lost, degraded souls,
No wonder they inhabit holes;
When such depravity is found,
It only can live underground.
I really dare not name to you,
The awful things that hobbits do.

Thank you for letting us know. [In reply to] Can't Post

My nephew recently had a stroke at the ripe old age of 34, from sitting too much & being dehydrated. He's completely fine now but we all are very careful to get enough fluids every day and to get up and walk around regularly. Also: aspirin any time we fly or are going to be stuck sitting down for hours.

I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the words begin to move around … The words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

Please give my dear regards to Aunt Dora [In reply to] Can't Post

She and her husband are lovely people and i always take notice of the happenings surrounding them.
I am very glad that she 'got off the mat' so fast and will be soon ready for 'regular duty'.
I know there is usually not a fair view from the hospital bed and i am sure she will be 'fit to be tied' soon, to get out.
That and the usual fare concerning the cuisine that specializes in the bland and the mundane, she will begin to see the juniper on the mountain as appetizing.
So here is a hail celebrating one lady that has a flair for music making and mountain scenery notations. May she soon, and ever, follow her heart in these regards:).

" '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
