The Shire

Welcome to the Shire! If my name hasn't given it away, I am a lover of Mr. Tolkien (he makes my heart skip a beat). Concerning hobbits, Tolkien said, "And laugh they did, and eat, and drink, often and heartily, being fond of simple jest at all times, and of six meals a day (when they could get them). They were hospitable and delighted in parties, and in presents, which they gave away freely and eagerly accepted." If you know me (or are just meeting me for the first time), I would hope that you can see my special connection with these little people. I strive to make my life this wonderful! I want to laugh, eat, and throw parties (again, my friends know this is true)! It is these beauties in life that I want my blog to represent. It is my "little hole in the ground" that I want to share with all of you! I hope you enjoy!
