ROTFL - Thank you John!!

Thanks for the smiles... My fellowship has split up and gone off hunting orcs, Soldiers are preparing for war and I am desperately worried about Frodo and Sam... I must get back to my reading.

PING

The Hobbit Hole has moved...

The Green Dragon has not moved yet but it will....

Hullo! Good morning!

[JenB]

Hurrah! Let's start the party, shall we? Here's to 4000+ more posts.

[HairOfTheDog]

Good Morning... Have some seedcakes and pints...

Or, perhaps something special is in order? I have a bit of the old wineyards left!

[JenB]

Then let's open a few bottles and have a real party! I'll find the seedcakes - this place feels like home already. Just to add some familiar furnishings:

On moving in:
Frodo looked round. It did look like home. Many of his own favourite things - or Bilbo’s things (they reminded him sharply of him in their new selling) - were arranged as nearly as possible as they had been at Bag End. It was a pleasant, comfortable, welcoming place; and he found himself wishing that he was really coming here to settle down in quiet retirement.

On New Names and Places:
There was some discussion of the name that the new row should be given. Battle Gardens was thought of, or Better Smials. But after a while in sensible hobbit-fashion it was just called New Row. It was a purely Bywater joke to refer to it as Sharkey’s End.

[HairOfTheDog]

Very good!

I have arranged to have plenty on hand when everyone arrives...

Ah, Good morning!

I've brought some bacon, eggs and mushrooms. How do you like your bacon, crispy or chewy?

This place has a good feel to it. ;^)

Just tea, thanks.

Nice crispy bacon! Any sausages or tomatoes to go with that?

[HairOfTheDog]

I does have a good feel to it. I hope everyone finds it OK - You know hobbits are not known to be good with maps.

[HairOfTheDog]

As you wish Dan... Just tea. I was hoping we could get you drunk so you would do something flitty! Glad you found us so fast!

[ksen]

Any sausages or tomatoes to go with that?

Let me see,....ah.....mmm....aha! I have some sausages. As for tomatoes I will "borrow" some from our good friend, Farmer Maggot. I'm sure he won't mind, it being a hole-warming party and all. ;^)

Don't steal his mushrooms - we don't want Fang and Grip barking at our door! Oh, I like our new hole!

I've brought some bacon, eggs and mushrooms. How do you like your bacon, crispy or chewy?

Crispy, thank you!

The pints and Winyards will have to wait, but tea would just hit the spot!

[HairOfTheDog]

Penny went to the late showing of the movie last night. She is probably sleeping in. She will be surprised and a little disoriented when she gets here.

[JenB]

That's ok - we will make her welcome no matter how groggy she is! Have any of our new neighbors noticed us yet? We should be on our best behavior for a while in case they drop by.

[Ward Smythe]

Wilt thou welcome a wayfaring poster who was intimidated by the sheer size of the other thread?

[HairOfTheDog]

hehehe - yes certainly! It doesn't feel so unwieldy when you grow up with it.

I am trying to find some news... but our sources are slow to update this morning. I wonder if there is an update on our friend from New Zealand that dug his own Hobbit Hole?

[JenB]

I'll bet he found out about this thread and ran screaming in horror. Or maybe the thermobarbic bomb got him...

[HairOfTheDog]

That's right. I forgot the bombing. That would be it.

We have been welcomed by the Dimensional Door thread:
