She's not ~quite~ dead!
She did not particularly enjoy her bath today, though.
There's lots of gardens at Rivendell.
I'm back! Hi OT! I'm here for a minute and then gotta go, Steve will be home by about 9:30pm.
Very nice truck, g'nad! I enjoyed driving my dad's Ram diesel around when my car was broke...it does turn heads! My neighbors would look out their window to see who that was with that loud truck! LOL
Okay... but OT and I won't be there at noon so somebody will have to give me directions that morning. Her flight arrives at 11:15. How long from the airport?
Spiffy ride ya' got there.
You should be back by 1:00
Just call on your way back, we'll give directions over the phone by saying "colder" "warmer" until you find it! ;~D
We arrive at 2:37 on Thursday. We're going from the airport to Scott's house.
He looks smug enough.
Nope... differn't watering hole. This'n'll be in the harbor, not up here yonder in Bellevue.
Danger: Funkle Alert
Corin is going back to catch up...
Sounds good here!
she has made a valiant effort to re-claim the overgrown garden beds... but I've stepped in and Ortho'ed a couple of the werse ones... nothin' like non-discriminant herbicide...
"I dunno! But if you get into the "History of Middle-Earth" series, you find out that Tolkien originally referred to the Noldorin Elves as "Gnomes". The word comes from a Greek root meaning "to know", and he used it to designate the Elves that had the highest level of knowledge."
So Snap, Crackle, and Pop are smarter than regular Elves--which is how they were able to invent the Silmarils. . .
Seriously, I didn't know that about the gnomes. That makes sense, though--from the Greek word "gignosko". Cool! Tolkien did some really interesting work on the etymology of folklore names. "Gandalf" also has the root-word "elf" in it in the original Norse epic Tolkien took the name from.
That dude sorta creeps me out for some reason. Can't put my finger on it.
Not a problem. I will pick Scott's and Ramius' brains the night before and discover some vague directions. Then, we'll just show up and surprise ya! :-)
I think OT is the only one scheduled to ride in the car with me who hasn't expressed anxiety over my driving yet! Of course, we are the chicks o' NASCAR! We should have fun. :-D
Perhaps it will be WN and OT who make headlines in Tacoma! :-D
After Post #5,542 I feel a need to degnome my garden :)
One of the wimmin goin' on the missions trip to Slovakia told the Mrs. she has a butane curling iron. She's already checked with the airlines on how to carry it overseas.
I told the Mrs. I don't want to be in some international court four years from now to have them rule that the cause of the plane bein' blowed up was a curling iron...
I still think Arnold Schwarzenegger would make an interesting Elrond.
