it's a birthday!

[frolijahfan]

Wishing dear lbilover the happiest of birthdays, with all the hobbits, white stags, whippets, Mounties, oblivious widowers, pool boys, angelic ex-garbagemen (and their adoring accountants), photographers and their empathical models, FrodoandSam and SeanandElijah you could ever wish for.
I nagged the Muse until she came up with this.

"Oh do hurry, Sam! You know that we shan't want to be late."
"Now, you just cease that frettin', Frodo-love. I reckon we have plenty of time yet afore things get started."
"But I want to look things over and make certain that everything's ready; that nothing's been left out..."
"And how many times have you already checked things? I know you, Frodo Baggins, and I'd be fair 'mazed if you've not been down there a time or three already. You're acting like a faunt afore his first Yule, you are."
Frodo blushed slightly. "I suppose I am, at that. But you needn't sound so superior about it, Samwise Gamgee. You want things to be perfect just as much as I do."
"Ah, you have me there, m'dear. Let's fetch Huan and be off, then."
Hand in hand the two hobbits started down the Hill, Huan running eagerly alongside, and stopped to look over the splendor of the Party Field. "It looks right nigh as splendid as it did for Mr. Bilbo's Party, doesn't it?"
"Yes, Sam-love, it does. Which is only right, after all. We both owe her so very much. Oh! Look! There's the finishing touch."
Sam looked where Frodo was pointing to see a group of busy hobbits putting up a gorgeously printed banner reading Happy Birthday, Ellen! "Now all we need is the guest of honor and the day will be perfect."
Then, seeing a slender dark-haired woman coming up the Road, "And here she comes!"

I am so glad that you liked it and that the tears were happy ones and not otherwise. I hadn't meant for Huan to make an appearance, since he's been mostly retired from the public stage, but he absolutely insisted on joining in and celebrating your birthday, and, hey, who am I to argue with the true Master of Bag End? *g*
Hope that your day was good and great and wonderful.

*birthday hugs*

LOL! The true Master of Bag End indeed! :D I'm glad that Huan was insistent. It wouldn't be a birthday party without him!! *hugs*

That's exactly what Huan said, that it wouldn't be a proper celebration without him. ;D

Awww, what a sweet gift for Ellen! I hope there's room for a few more at the party!

I'm sure that Frodo and Sam can always squeeze in a few more! (and, with hobbits, you know that there'll be plenty of food and drink)
Thanks for reading.
