Thanks for the ping, Dolly! As a girl, I loved reading anything I could about fairies/faeries. Thanks for the trip down nostalgia road. . .

Good Morning to the Finest

[DollyCali]

Good morning to my Finest FRiends who have checked in thus far! I was up late.. my typical high pressure insomnia. I feel pretty good with high pressure systems headache relief - but have poor sleep. In the low pressure systems, I sleep well but feel .. yukky.

I grew up with fairy tales & fantasy. Read Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen; and stories about mythology. Never was into doll or playhouses too much but had an active dream life/imagination with the mysteries of I guess one would say "playful spirit world".

I recall having a small record player & I had 78 record sets of stories also. I would play those for hours when my mom wouldn't let me out for one reason or another. Being out doing ANYTHING was always my activity of choice.

This is just meant to be a nostalgia sort of thread, a warm fuzzy, if you will, walk down memory lane. It is not an academic treatise and isn't meant to be.

Tolkien, LOTR fame & CS Lewis, both authors I LOVE, were good friends as adult & were in groups that shared information on this, which was a big interest of theirs also.
