Hi ! Im currently rereading all of your stories but I had forgotten this one though it is familiar! Love it! And it made me laugh loud and think of my x when he snored here and there 😂!

Wonderfully charming! Just the sort of thing children do to sleeping parents :-)

I'll put this with my quilt with the pink patches! One day Arwen will tell him! Too wonderful an image to let go wanting in tormenting one so beloved!

Pink bonnet and shawl! Oh my! Talk about the Emperor's New Clothes! LOL A delightful piece, Linda. Poor Aragorn. I wonder how he *did* survive the Wilds snoring like that. The Orcs must've thought it was a secret new "elvish" weapon and fled in terror. *grin*

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review and welcome to my stories!I'm delighted you enjoyed this and honoured a writer I so admire should like it.
I can only surmise Aragorn's snoring has become worse with age or with sleeping indoors!I like the idea of the Orcs fleeing in terror!

LOL! I live in fear of snoring - which I do when I turn onto my back. If I can manage to remain on my side, I'm ok. At least, I think I am.

My goodness, how did Aragorn survive in the wilds for so long, if he snored so loudly? (or did he sleep on his stomach, or sitting up, or something, while out on patrol?)

Very funny adornment for a sleeping ada... Reminds me of the time Gimli fell asleep and some young hobbits prettied him up with lovely bright hair bows.

I've no idea if I snore or not, but my cats do at times !
Maybe Aragorn's snoring has got worse with age or he catnapped in the wild?

Clever and funny. Aragorn is not going to live this down easily, is he - the good old days of roughing it in the wild, fighting Orcs etc., were far less embarrassing!

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I am sure Arwen will use this to tease her husband with for some time !

Oh what a wonderful image this story brings to mind! *giggles*
Why do men always deny that they snore? They also deny they've been asleep - how many times have I heard the 'I'm just resting my eyes.....' excuse?!

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased this made you laugh.

I think snorers deny it as they cannot hear themselves!

So sweet! Too bad there were no cameras in Middle-earth; what a picture that would have made!

Author Reply: Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.Yes,I would have loved to have taken a photo of Aragorn adorned with the doll's clothes!
