A little PS on yesterday's post.....One of my most prized possessions is a box set of The Trilogy. For those who don't know, this is J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. I received this wonderful gift for my 25th birthday on September 18, 1976. Inside the books I wrote From: Tonya and Chris. Their wonderful Grandmother, "Mimi" (Pauline Dorrell), bought the books for the kids to give to me for my birthday. She was a thoughtful and considerate person who knew how much I enjoyed Tolkien and my paperbacks were pretty ratty. For many years this was probably the most valuable material item I owned. After my post yesterday, my son Chris emailed to remind me not to get rid of Tolkien. Parish the thought! The boxed set has been promised to him. I would never give Tolkien to Goodwill or sell him on the internet. He's much too valuable for that. Breath deep Chris....Tolkien will be yours some day. Yours, with love from your mother.
Blessings
