I had a wonderful afternoon watching The Fellowship DVD.
And I have to say - my heart is still in the Shire. I couldn't ask for more. 

Closing my eyes, I can see green hills, friendly smiles and laughter ... the Green Dragon and - of course - Frodo and Sam.
It's a world you feel welcome. ... 

and I can see my friends. It's sooooo wonderful and I'm so happy! 

Have a wonderful weekend! I'm thinking of you 

Lots of Shire love and hobbity hugs
Julchen

Sorry for jumping in, but maybe this would be a thing you'd like?

It's in Oregon. Here:

Oh yea, just like that! An online friend of my husband's is actually building a "recreational" type of hobbit-hole-hotel complex, or something, in Texas. Man oh man, I'd love something like that... permanently!

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

Wow! That's cool! I'd like to have something like this too and actually there are lots of holes in the rocks here around in my area. I always wondered how the Hobbits got these cellars dry.

The thing in Oregon is nice, isn't it? You can still buy cottages and stuff there. It's just a financial question. :) But I think their Smial is just something to look at and no real house to live in.

Well like I'd said, a lot of underground homes are SO efficient when it comes to conserving energy and what not. I wouldn't doubt that after a while, the price you paid for it makes it absolutely worth it in savings. :) I'd love it.

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

Of course, since they are new built you can make them as efficient as possible. But you have always to remember this is no old Hippie or Amish community who live without electricity and use ponies instead cars. These houses look beautiful, but they have garages, washing machines and all the little modern helpers which people cannot live without today. So you pay only for round windows and doors. Otherwise you could buy a usual cottage with a certain history and rebuild it in your taste. You would pay the same price in the end, maybe a bit more, but you had an old house, something kinda grown in a way. I don't know, but I think that's important. Or at least it would be important for me if I could choose where I want to live.
I would like a real Hobbit community with all the flaws problems and hard work, but also with all the romantic and the natural beauty if I could get Frodo and Sam in it. :D

Oh yea, I know, lol! I wouldn't want to throw away my internetz, thas for sure. :D But it's the idea that it's so compact and insulated, that having to pay for heat or AC is next to nothing.
And every hobbit hole should come with it's own Frodo and Sam... say it loud and proud, girly!! ;)

Yeah! That's so right! So let's start and make F/S clones for everyone interested! I tell you in the coldest winter nights you won't need a heating if you have them! You also would never notice that your computer is missing. And nothing compaires to a Smial in summer. It's storm safe and if you dig it high enough in the hill it's even flood safe too.
So when will we move there? ;)

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm typing from the plane heading over.
*I freakin wish*
Everything is motioned, seconded, and passed. They await our arrival!

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

*sweeps the runway on the hill*
*waves to you*
I'm already here. There is a nice red fire in the kitchen, we have freshly baked bread and a thick, hot soup for dinner. F and S giggle only silly because they are a bit drunk already. But that makes the evening just more interesting.
*holds the torch a bit higher*

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

*huffs and puffs as she runs inside, carrying large suitcases* I'm here, what'd I miss, what'd I miss??
*sees the two cozy hobbits, giggling over glasses of Old Winyards* Oooh. I'm just in time.
*drops a large suitcase by them* Here you go, lads... have fun.
*they open the suitcase... and GASP!*

....?????

Honey, you can't stop talking HERE ... what happened? I'm too late, I know, but I want to know what's going on??? :-)

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

You're not too late. We were all hit with a spell of suspended animation for some inexplicable reason.
Go take a look... I'll give you a hint; it resembles a LOT of what was in Zeke Tyler's trunk, and much, MUCH more... ;)!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

now I know ... :-))

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

In fact, Zeke should be dropping by with MORE. Y'now. In case we run out. :P

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

Welcome home, hon!
*giggles*
*watches the Hobbits blush, smile and whisper to each other*
*helps you to get the luggage in and closes the door* Go, gentlemen! We'll do without you this evening.
*watches the Hobbits disappear in their room* (the one with the big mirror at the wall)
*hops into the room next door, pulls the curtains open* (the backside of the big mirror)
*puts seats in front of the window, wine, sweets, fruits and pillows*
*sets the torch on the hill for Julchen to see*
*runs back in* Come on! Hurry! The little ones play so sweet together. We don't want to miss a minute!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Hello, hello! I've just arrived *I hardly can't breath because I ran that fast*
*puts second seat right beside you*
*ohhhh, look, what the cuties are doing*
*stares*

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

Aren't they sweet as sugar?
Oh, no, like honey! Look, that's where our honey is gone! Well, of course, sugar would scrape to much.
*eats popcorn without sense*

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

*sells roasted peanuts* Getcher peanuts! Hot roasted nuts to watch hot randy hobbits! Getcher nuts!
*sells seventy-six bags in moments* Man ared, slow down. They're just nuts.
*sees you point at the beginning of hawtness happening in the next room. Eats sixty-eight bags without thinking*

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

Give me some, please!
*stares through the window*
*grabs deep in the nuts box*
*pays with a Shire silver shilling without thinking*
Pretty idea! Hot nuts for watching hot Hobbits going nuts!
*eats a bag and throws the nuts away*

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

Wow, we've truly stepped off the reality train, huh?

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

You've been eating alone? This can't be, aredhel loves nuts and me, too! :-)
You're so right, it's very hot here ...

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't forget to call me ... I'm coming with you, no doubt :-)

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

Oh I just invited you before I noticed you are already sitting in the kitchen talking to Frodo about anything ... im-por-tant? What a smell of cherries is that here in the middle of winter?

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

hehehehe, now you got me! I can tell you - I HAD a little talk with Frodo :-)

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

I hope he understood and his other half too. One can never know since HObbits are mostly a bit greedy. O_O
