Monday... and quite a special birthday....

[cairistiona]

I raise my own toast to Professor Tolkien, in thanks for the astonishing amount of joy and friendship he has brought to my life.  Amazing, that, isn't it??   Many authors create wonderful stories, but Tolkien created community, both for his characters and more importantly, for his fans. 

*raises glass of miruvor high*   To you, Professor Tolkien, with many thanks!
