Home to Me

The Last Homely House

"That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, 'A perfect house, whether you like food or sleep or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all'. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness."

From "The Fellowship of the Ring", J. R. R. Tolkien

Thanks, Andy. It also reminds me of the homes my children have created for themselves now.
