[My back yard]

It is quiet around here. I get to see it tonight at 8pm.

My daughter is driving down to watch it with me. Her dad is the one who started me reading the books in the very early 70's. (when I was just a girl) And he bought her a copy of the books when she was 7 or 8. He was a BIG Tolkien fan. Studied the Elvish language stuff pretty well and all. He died 6 years ago. So, we go together in his honor and remember his love for the books. Oi, he would love to be here for these movies, I know we would both love him to be with us too.

I'm sure he'll be watching with you. Sharing something that was so well loved by your husband can only make the movies much more special on a personal level. I first read the LOTR when I was in 8th grade (in 1968). Like your husband did with you and your daughter, I shared it with my husband and son. Go tonight and enjoy!

How very special. I hope you have a great spot in time!
