Okay, this is going to sound like a joke......

I think the waitress DID think we were wierd after we didn't leave 2 hours after they cleared the table...I had a small gift for her, too.
LOL--y' think she thought so? Nah...then, maybe she let us sit there 'cause she knows Elves are good with bows...j/k

Samwise is taller than I expected.
LOL, Miss Rae! Well, I'm a 20th century Hobbit, that's my only explanation. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I spoke with her on the phone before I left Washington, and I found her voice to be so pleasant.
Awww...well, I found you to be pretty darn pleasant, too--and your hubby, and your sweet kidlets...is Jessica adopted? No offense meant, ma'am, but she seemed to have some very Hobbit-like tendencies... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It was too dark to see Samwise's Garden or the one she planted at her church so we sat in her driveway and talked some more for another 20 minutes.
It was only 20 minutes? Sigh. Seemed like longer or shorter depending....

I think she must cry at supermarket-openings because she cried when I had to leave(don't be embarassed, Samwise, it's sweet).
LOL, Miss Rae! No offense taken, but that would be bookstores more likely than supermarkets...

It was a really great time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Me, three. If any of you get to Washington State, look this lady up. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
