Many happy returns, for many more decades!

We had a birthday party in eighth grade for her and Bilbo, because we were reading The Hobbit. I still have the "invitation." XD

Today is the 100th or something-or-other birthday of Tolkien's greatest characters!

But alas, for all of these years, it's almost a shame that some still cannot fully appreciate the wonderful work Mr Tolkien has crafted into his mythos. Drawing on ancient works of old Man, he has taken fantasy writing in a new direction and left his mark on the literary world.

But I disgress. Should any of you be in Hobbiton, under the Party Tree this time of year, wish those two fictional characters all the best.

Happy birthday to Frodo and Bilbo Baggins!

*sings* Bilbo (Bilbo), Bilbo Baggins! He's only three feet tall! Bilbo (Bilbo), Bilbo Baggins! The bravest little hobbit of them all!

I wish I'd known - I definitely would have had a party!
