Anything but Arwen

Welcome! And horseback riding certainly counts. Otherwise I'd have to be taking away many, many miles from my current count. Have fun walking!

We managed to walk one mile today and then I had to stop because I grew strangely sick. Strider said I didn't have a fever, but I felt terrible. For my sake we went no further (thank you so much, Strider), and I've been resting all day singing hobbit (read= Irish) ballads and listening to them (Merry and Pippin were kind enough to sing some for me). I'm feeling better now, but still so weak that I couldn't possibly walk (I just barely made it up and down the driveway) and sitting is about all I can do. That's why I have the time to write.

Sam promises to make me one of my favorite meals, and it happens to be rather healthy, as well. I apologized to Strider so many times, but this small hobbit is just beginning to see how kind this man of the Big Folk is. He merely smiled at me and made no answer, but his smile was so kind and encouraging that I was truly touched.

Keep walking, everyone! I'll continue when I can gain the strength. Where's my pony, Strider? Frodo gets Bill, what about me? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
