Walking Therein

"A King will come, and this city will be as it once was, before it fell into decay."

Gandalf: "A thousand years this city has stood. Now, at the whim of a madman it will fall. The White Tree, the tree of the king, will never bloom again."

Pippin: "Why are they still guarding it?"

Gandalf: "They guard it because they have hope. A faint and fading hope that one day it will flower. A King will come, and this city will be as it once was, before it fell into decay."

"The old wisdom born out of the west was forsaken. Kings made tombs more splendid than the houses of the living, and counted the old names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons."
 "Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry, or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars.

And so the people of Gondor fell into ruin. The line of kings failed. The white tree whithered. The rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men."

from The Return of the King

I really enjoy the Lord of the Rings series.

Your children are so creative! I'm so excited about Jocelyn's state & country exploration blog. I would like my children to participate. They still have to sign up.

I'm so glad you contacted me. You almost figured it out. Dixiefiddler & Dixiebeauty are sisters, but I'm not. We all go to the same church. Their mom is Dixiecajuns. My daughter is yodelinggirl. Check out her blog. Dixiefiddler has done a lot of work to it. Even though I have only known Dixiefiddler, Dixiebeauty, & Dixiecajuns a short time I am very blessed to have them in our lives. The girls are an excellent example for my daughter. I only have four kids, but I think it's awesome you have 8!!!! We have recently opened our hearts to have more. (I've always been open, but my husband hasn't.)
