"My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles and Proudfoots. Alas, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits. I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
The immortal words of Bilbo on his eleventy first birthday. Today is the day of his Birth, September 22. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the release of "The Hobbit" . Well done J.R.R.
Enjoy the day in the Shire and do something Hobbit like in honor of dear old Bilbo!
IF MORE OF US VALUED FOOD AND CHEER AND SONG ABOVE HORDED GOLD, IT WOULD BE A MERRIER WORLD.
