I really liked Greta's theory that 33 might be the coming of age for Hobbits because that was the age Jesus was when he died, was resurrected, and "came into" the inheritance of his heavenly kingdom. Tying anything to Jesus during Lent is always a good thing, IMO.😁👍✝️

Nice to join you at the get-go. I was surprised to find "eleventy" in the Oxford English Dictionary, with a couple of citations before Tolkien. One is from the Boston Post in 1905. Tolkien had an American friend at Oxford and it wouldn't surprise me if the word took his fancy as a humorous Americanism. (The OED doesn't give any Old English derivation btw). Sackville is actually an aristocratic name in England, having once been borne by the Dukes of Dorset. A famous Sackville in the 1930s was Vita Sackville-West aka the Sissinghurst Sizzler (OK I made the last part up but it fits her reputation).

Wow! 2035? I love the idea! I hope i make it to the end. I'll be 70/71, depending on the month. :) It's been a very hard 18 months. Glad to make it back for this journey! I guess you are becoming more Entish: You only say something if it is worth taking a long time to say. And Aragorn concurs with Greta: "The hasty stroke goes oft astray." :)

So glad you are back for this journey, Tom! I hope I am becoming more Entish, but deep down I worry that I am becoming less Entish, or at least the world is, and this is my Hobbit-sized attempt to do something deeply Entish and prophetic.

Grace is "unnatural". We, though fallen, receive redemption and forgiveness. We get to share in an eternal inheritance, including eternal life! But, it WAS paid for, just not by us. :)
