How sweet.

EDIT: I'll reply either late tomorrow night or Saturday. I have to pack my car now for the trip home tomorrow.

Is anyone in the Inn liable to have instruments of some kind? Just so that when it is time for Mith and I to earn our keep we might have some company doing it.

Maybe one of the dwarves? Tollers, maybe? Dick may have played something, long ago, but he wouldn't be any good now. He likes dancing, though, so if you play some lively music he might pull Lilly up there and dance.

I had been thinking that one of his kids might be old enough to play, but I'm afraid not. His oldest son is only 14.

I'm looking forward to it!

Have I ever mentioned which twin was older? If not, then I'm saying now that Dorlind is older than Daisy. Don't know yet by how many minutes, but he is older, unless I've already said somewhere that Daisy is.

I'll put that in the post where I introduced Dick's whole family. . .

With piosenniel’s permission, I’ve taken the character she mentioned, Granny Greenhill (the honeymaker her Rhys and Tanni were going to see), and fleshed her out into a character who will come in now and again to visit The Golden Perch.

-----

NAME: Penstemon Greenhill (Nana Penny to her grandchildren; Granny Greenhill to her neighbors; Penny, to her closest friends)

AGE: 92

RACE: Hobbit, mostly Harfoot with a smattering of Fallohide

GENDER: female

WEAPONS: None really. Has a yew wood walking stick she uses to get around and a pair of garden shears in her generous apron pocket with which she cuts flowers and herbs

APPEARANCE: 2’10” tall; light brown skin; bright brown eyes; pleasantly wrinkled face which more often than not is graced with a wide, generous smile. The thick brown curly hair of her younger years has now turned to a snowy mass. Partial to one piece, long-sleeved dresses in deep lavenders and cobalt blues; always wears a plain white pinafore apron with two large pockets on the skirt.

PERSONALITY: She is a happy person; rarely ruffled by circumstance. Sharp-witted; sharp eyed, there are few things that escape her notice. Very social, has a wide circle of acquaintances; loves parties, food, a half pint of dark ale now and then, and a pipeful of Southern Star when she relaxes.

HISTORY: Granny Greenhill was wed to Rowlie Greenhil; she has been a widow these many years. She has five grown sons, all living on little farms near her; and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Lives about five or six miles from Stock, southwest along the Stockbrook. Her family has always lived in the area. She lives on a small part of her oldest son’s land in a modest, one roomed house. She has a large garden with vegetables, flowers, and herbs. A number of her great-grandchildren come every day to help their Nana with the weeding, watering, and harvesting. She is a beekeeper and has seven hives. Her red clover honey and apple blossom honey are of some renown in her part of the Shire.

Noinkling, hope you don't mind the interruption!

Folwren · 08-03-2006, 03:27 PM

I apologize to everyone. I am behind in my writing.

Firefoot, I realize that my last post is apparently behind everyone else in the time of the evening, but I think if we both stay on top of it in the next one or two posts, we'll be quite quickly up with everyone else. What do you say?

-- Folwren

Folwren · 08-03-2006, 08:19 PM

Haha! Brilliant - brilliant! What a mix up, hey? *chuckle*

Anyhow, I do not think that I am going to manage a post this evening. If I do not, then someone go ahead and write one without waiting for me - Celuien or Arry. . .

-- Folwren

EDIT: Ne'er mind! I got my chance and snuck back downstairs and the post is written and up. Take it away, chaps!

Folwren · 08-26-2006, 10:04 AM

Hi all. I haven't yet had any time to catch up on all the posts at the Perch and I haven't caught up here on the Discussion Thread, and I don't have any time at all now to write what I'm writing.

I wanted to tell you, though, so you don't have to wait another day and a half for me to finally get on with some time, go ahead and move forward a bit. I think we should be getting onto the stories and music and whatnot. Finish whatever conversations are going on and we can go onward.

Have got to be running. So long!
