Also, I did not know there was a Pooh cookbook, and I now have an uncontrollable to find that. :-)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-63651601508242071062014-09-25T19:37:08.654-05:002014-09-25T19:37:08.654-05:00Again, quite right, quite right.

But our deep discussions are a bit sporadic, and some people look at us funny when we start waxing eloquent on things like Evenstars and Khazad-dum.<br /><br />I honestly don't know whom I relate to. I identify with Eowyn's having a few hard knocks, and getting her hopes dashed, but my personality is a lot like Merry. I get overly-excited, and sometimes I forget to take things seriously.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-61604579824645651062014-09-25T11:45:45.563-05:002014-09-25T11:45:45.563-05:00Deep theological discussions should not be limited...Deep theological discussions should not be limited to one day of the week. Neither should deep Tolkienological discussions.<br /><br />I probably relate most to Sam.

I think I might edit my post. :-) But, yes, brothers are a lot of fun when you're into things like LOTR. They were arguing on the way to service today over who was actually Aragorn. I think they settled that the younger one was Gimli. I told them that as long as I could be Eowyn, and neither of them was Faramir, I didn't really give a care. <br /><br />We have deep theological discussions on Sunday, as you can see.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-18110942042123820832014-09-21T18:59:43.697-05:002014-09-21T18:59:43.697-05:00LOVE IT!

Especially the bit about the shoe shop in the Shire -- Cowboy walked past as I was reading this, saw that, and chuckled :-)<br /><br />I was 21 when I first saw the LOTR movies and became a fan. I'd read "The Hobbit" in high school, but was not a fan. And yes, I really wish I'd read LOTR sooner than 21, because I think my brother and I could have had a great time playing in Middle Earth when I was still living at home.<br /><br />"Forth, now, and fear no darkness!"Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
