Ah, yes--well, well worth the crossing of the seas for this! So beautiful it sounds!

Complete with fantastically carved fruits, lots of delicious food, beautiful dancing girls, spectacular natural displays, relaxing by the seaside, a bit of sightseeing, the adulation of the natives...the whole works! Maybe he'll want to stay a lonnnnggggg time, what?

Thanks Larner once more!

Yes, most definitely worth making the crossing - being with his heart's treasure again and seeing him so happy. A great blessing for two great heroes. Lovely song, bet Sam blushed from the crown of his head to his toes, but what a lovely welcome to someone so loved because someone they so loved loved him so. Forgot to mention, that was a interesting dream/vision Frodo had of his other two brothers. Surprised Pippin lasted that long actually.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I'll bet he did blush! I dare say he wasn't expecting so much fuss to be made over him, what with dinner, fruit carvings, (they can be viewed here, btw: http://www.americade.info/melons.htm) singing and dancing, and all the rest of it....No doubt Frodo had been bringing him to life for his family for decades, and now they feel almost as if they know him. But the greatest blessing of all was seeing Frodo happy as he deserves to be, certainly!

Yes, the irrepressible Pippin did lead a bit of a charmed life, didn't he? Although I dare say he may have developed bad eating habits that led to a heart condition that would carry him off before his time. Still, I thought it fitting that he should follow Merry into the next world!

thanks once more
