Happy Birthday to two of our FAVORITE hobbits!
This is the right day, right? Sept. 22nd. I was going to check on past birthday threads and the whole Elbereth's Star Gazer Forum had no posts on it!!!

Happy Birthday to two of our FAVORITE hobbits! This is the right day, right? Sept. 22nd. I was going to check on past birthday threads and the whole Elbereth's Star Gazer Forum had no posts on it!!! Yes, yesterday was the day! Happy Birthday, Bilbo and Frodo! I tried some backdoor ways to find the threads, but, couldn't find any. I searched Majah's posts to see if I could find some from that forum... Just because I couldn't find any, doesn't mean they aren't still there. I just couldn't locate any, in my random search. What could have happened?!? Fan |

We did have an update a couple of months ago, so they may have vanished during that change over. That is the only thing I can think of.

I confused the heck out of my grandson.
We are listening to The Hobbit in the car. We are up to looking for the way inside the Lonely Mountain. He has seen tiny portions of the movie and also, has watched me in game and has seen Hobbits.
I told him that it was Bilbo's birthday today. He asked, "Is he real, then?" I told him that no he was not.
"The actor that plays him?"
"No, the character's birthday."
"How?"
So, I explained how Tolkien gave him a birthdate as a detail* to make Bilbo seem real. He got the concept.
*Kindergarteners these days learn (from the get go) how to craft a story/essay - Introduction, events, closing, details, facts, opinion. What happened to the house corner play, carpentry corner, sing-alongs, finger painting? *Sigh* for the good ol' days.
Happy Birthday Bilbo and Frodo!!!
