Hi, I'm Estelyn and I'm your hostess here at the Barrows' retirement home! I'm happy to see that so many of you have settled in, made friends, and are chatting away! Those of you who are still physically active are invited to grab your walkers, canes - or Nordic walking sticks, whatever suits you - and join me. I've passed the Crossroads and am not far from Shelob's Lair. I do have the advantage of knowing about it in advance, though, so I have prepared by bringing along insect repellant. Do you think it will help??
(Alas, a slight illness has slowed me down the past few days, but I never stop completely - thanks to my dog, who is not related to Farmer Maggot's...)
