[alquadae]

Hail and well met!!! My daughter and I have discovered a great castle in an enchanted land,so many rooms,chambers and halls to explore.! We have been "lurking" about this site for a couple of days trying to get a feel for the discussions and what protocols are being observed. We are the last of the computer//internet holdouts. I would like to take a moment to thank the administrators and moderators who support this sight.No small task and"very near the mark if I may be so bold". Be assured your efforts are appreciated. I have been "foaming arround" the books since I discovered{back in 73}a copy of THE HOBBIT adrift. "Much of what has been learned is now forgotten" as your quizzes have pointed out. I am looking forward to another reading keeping in mind some of the views and opinions expressed in these many forums.I have never had the opportunity to join in any in depth discussions before I bought my children this computer.....ok kids your turn next just another minute. Alquadae is my small sloop {sailboat} which I am refitting this winter. bulkheads, paint rigging etc If my plans go well, she will be a vessel with a Quendi twist that will turn the heads of even the most critical Teleri. I wish all fair winds and following seas Alquadae
