Hey everyone! We are back. Got in from England yesterday evening and still trying to recover. (nine hour flight smashed up against a window, no leg room, then another couple of hours to Houston)

We had a good visit. After I recover a bit, will post pictures we took of our visit to Oxford having a pint or two at "The Eagle and The Child" and write a little more on how it all went. "The Eagle and The Child" was diff a "heart's desire". We did not get to the grave sites (Tolkien, Edith, CS Lewis, Warnie, and Joy) as it was as it was so cold and we could not really understand the directions. We were still "worn out" from the flight over and I was falling asleep in the car. . .not good. Terry said they were not in there anyway to comfort me, as I was so disappointed, but I would have like to have seen the sites anyway.
Did see a good bit of "Tolkin country", but afraid a good bit of the Shire has been scouged. Still some beautiful areas. . .we would go to areas and it would look like scenes from the films.

Hope you are all well.

BTW the "Home Page" looks great. Gettin' all fancy around here, huh?
