Of course, when I heard about Christopher Lee, my first thoughts were of 'old' friends and laughter and creativity and love. Drew me back here.
Not that I haven't lurked, now and again.
It feels so like home. Just reading a few of the posts. Names so dear and familiar to me. Remembrances of those who have gone into the West.
I'm sorry I've not 'partaken' of the fruits of this glorious fellowship for so long. I put my heart and soul and lifeblood into writing for publishing. Hasn't worked out as I had hoped and I'm still not sure if I've learned anything. And I'm not sure if it was worth the severing of the rest of my life. Time will only tell.
But I'm back. Can't promise for how long, but I will contribute while I'm here. Bless you all for your constancy. xxxooo

A HUGE warm welcome home, Agape.
Its a big, busy world out there, and our little (and ever shrinking) community is but a drop in that wide ocean of busy. But it can be a nice peaceful drop if you come in now and again.
Keep on working on your getting yourself published. Its a fine goal.
What did you think of the Hobbit movies?

Many thx.
I loved the Hobbit. After knowing what PJ did to Faramir and such, I decided to go with no expectations. Just pure enjoyment. It made it fun. Of course, I made sure to remind my granddaughter at every deviation. She enjoyed it too. How about you?

There were too many things I couldn't get my head around, the biggest being the 'romance' between a Dwarf and an Elf. Really!
I did find that Thranduil and his son competed for my eye though. Two pretties made the movies worth at least one watch.
Smaug, even though they couldn't prounounce his name to my liking, was definitely spectacular.

My little one and my favorite was the 'bizarre' barrel ride. We watch it time and again on YouTube.

Welcome home, Agape.
I was sure they were going to make that barrel ride into a ride at Disneyland or some other park.

Thank you my friend. I think Peter has to build his own theme park. Disney likes to 'own' it all.

Welcome back, Agape! It's been a little slow around here lately, but our Fellowship is not a ghost town yet. And now that you're back, it'll be a little livelier. 
If the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence... water your grass.

Hi Agape!
It's always nice to touch base now and then as we all wander in and out, very nice to see you here once more. I hope life has been treating you well and your adventures haven't been strenuous ones in the meantime.

Home again, home again, jiggety jig!!! So wonderful to see you!

Welcome back!
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Yes, it's always good to have a new old friend pop in and out as most of do these days: Tea (or in my case, coffee) is at 4. There is plenty of it. And don't bother knocking. <3
