The German Tolkien Seminar was occasion for two Downers to meet once again - for Guinevere and myself, both the event and the meeting are annual highlights! We took an extra day before and after so we could do some sightseeing in Potsdam, which is a beautiful city, the historical summer residence of kings and emperors in days gone by. And the seminar lectures were interesting as well!

I had indeed a great time together with Esty in Potsdam, both at the Seminar and sightseeing in beautiful Potsdam! Time was only running too swiftly...
It was nice to meet shadowfax again, too.

Had Rune over last night. We had a nice dinner and then some Orc draughts and then went out to see what the night had to offer. Then something happened but I don't remember it too well.

Wilwa and I had our second visitor of the Down's come to our little out of the way city. Formy, who was on his way home to Alberta from Boston, stopped in for the night last Thursday. We had dinner and sleepover at my place and then went for breakfast the next morning before he continued his journey.
He also brought us a little gift of food from Ms. Bethberry (thank you by the way, the cookies were delicious!!  ).

Before Formy hit Rock City to visit with Wilwa and Glirdan, he passed through my little town and we had lunch together. A brief visit, but the conversation was good and the company better. Formy is every bit the gracious and loquacious (in a very positive sense) fellow I imagined him to be. Imagine two Albertans connecting via the Downs and then meeting in the dreaded confines of Eastern Canada!

You guys could have told me you were meeting. I would have found the time to come and say hi as well.
(Which reminds me - Bethberry, would you like to meet a crazy fourteen-year-old sometime this summer?)
