It's hard to believe that on this day, three years ago, I came home to the Shire and my little Pantry Smial. Little did I know that a year later I would walk out of that Pantry Smial into a glorious party in the Backside Smial and be sharing the brand new Back End with my friends and family. And you know, I'm still having a hard time recalling this time last year, though I do think it also concerned warm feelings regarding our little home. Perhaps it was during one of my koalified episodes. Hmmm. Home, I suppose I'm thinking about it a great deal lately ~~and, in the finest display of obsessive-compulsive behavior MESPT has yet beheld, linked to every thought of it in my last entry.~~

So here I sit in bed, in a place that is not my home and yet so home-like feeling now. Dear Gary. And if home is where the heart is, then home I am, for friends dear to my heart have joined us here today. I hope my scars and bruises don't frighten them too much. At least the wounds are much better than they were. I wonder how long their trip took and if it was much trouble to find this place, since I haven't taken that trip myself. I feel a bit silly staying here in bed since I am so well, obviously, but I suppose I should stay off my feet still. I won't be well if I tear my wounds, will I? Then who knows when I'll be ready to travel and see everyone.

Uncle Sennie, Melbie, Celly, and--I can't believe it--Elanorelle! I hear them talking. Now when are they coming up? How much patience do they think this poor hobbit can muster? Really!

*reaches for his hand and gives it a quick squeeze before pulling away to allow room for Melba and Celly*

*turns her attention to the flowers on the nightstand, artfully arranging the blooms and granting Bingo a bit of space and privacy in which to greet his cousins*

((Ahahahah were Elly not so mindful of his injuries she may very well have jumped on the bed. Or at least lingered in the doorway, watching the reunion with bittersweet fondness ;D))

Hey Bingo! *let's go of Celly's hand, comes over sits on the bed, keeps in mind that he has a wounded shoulder--~~the right is it?~~, climbs up as she turns and puts her arms around his neck and hugs him* Elbereth stuck in traffic and having to pee, you had us so scared!

((Bingo is pulling on my sleeve, urging me to remind you that no Baggins bed is complete without a Took, a Brandybuck, AND a Gamgee gracing it. (-; Now Gary is chiming in that there better be room for a Midgebane, too. What's that, Kevin? Excuse me . . . .))

*wiggles his fingers against Elly's as she lets go to let her know he's not letting go so fast and smiles at her as she pulls away*

Mmmmmmelbie! Hehe! *wraps his arms around her* I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

*purses her lips at him shaking her head, then pulls back takes hold of his left arm and examines the deep gash and punctures on it* Yeah, I know you didn't mean this. Damn! *looks up and down at the scratches and bruises on his face and hands* And I know we're not even seeing the worst. Geez! So what did it do, drag you from Hobbiton to Bree?

*watches her handle his arm and examine him, pursing his lips* Well . . . something like that, yes.

*stands back to let Melba greet him, and being more reserved and knowing Bingo less well, watches them, smiling her greeting, the decides, finally, that maybe he needs some rescuing from Melba's getting down to details right off the bat* Hello Bingo!

*untangles his arms from Melba and reaches out to hug her* Hello Celly! It's good to see yooooou!

*reaches down and hugs him, then sits on the edge of the bed* Yes, we were scared, but now we are very happy to see you, and that makes up for all, it does. *looks at Melba and nods, looks back at him and holds his hand, and puts an arm around Melba's waist*
