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!! ).

Glad you liked them. And I would have to send you some berries, no?

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?)

But Galadriel55, when I invited you to join Wellinghall Smial's Tolkien Reading Day, you said you couldn't, so I didn't think you could come for lunch. Have you changed your parents' mind?

Sure we could meet sometime this summer. Ferry to the island or a local park? The boardwalk at Kew Beach? A favourite Tim Horton's? PM me so we can arrange details.

One thing is going somewhere far without any good explanation, and another is "going to see a friend" that lives wherever I'm heading...

So no, I haven't changed their minds, but I found a good excuse.

Indeed, they were a couple of delightful visits--it was delightful to see Wilwa and Glirdan again, and it was delightful to meet Bęthberry--my first new Downer since Bostonmoot. It's somewhat unfortunate that I was rushing through as quickly as I was, but I suppose a short visit is better than no visit.
