I'm sad to report that

obeliamedusa's husband has posted the news that Hannah passed away recently, and very suddenly. They had only married a year or two ago. Hannah and I met through the "Lord of the Rings" fanfiction community back in 2003, and never lost touch. Small groups of us would travel around the country to visit one another, and Hannah's home with its extraordinary sculpture she named "Tiny Bag End" was a must-see destination. She was so intelligent, friendly, and welcoming, and I'll never forget her.

grumble grumble	[Feb. 27th, 2026\|06:32 am] Shirebound
This morning I can't view anyone's icons or photos on posts, and about half of my own userpics are inaccessible as well. I've tried using Chrome and Safari, but both browsers are having the same issue for me. I'll leave what comments I can, and will try again tonight to see if the glitch has been fixed. ETA: And now some of them have returned! fingers crossed

We don't need any more snow, thank you!	[Feb. 25th, 2026\|07:06 am] Shirebound
Good morning from our winter wonderland! It feels like I've been shoveling for days (because I have). At least I've been able to keep a small area clear for Rena's Important Business, but woooo, did we get a SNOWSTORM on Monday, about two feet. That's a lot for a hobbit my size!

Livejournal in these tenuous times	[Jan. 2nd, 2026\|06:49 pm] Shirebound
Just FYI (since LJ is owned by Russia and One Never Knows), I can also be found on Dreamwidth. I've been reading, commenting, and duplicating most of my LJ posts there for many years.

Happy New Year!	[Dec. 31st, 2025\|06:59 pm] Shirebound
Happy New Year, everyone! I'm grateful for this brave, supportive, creative, and fascinating community of friends, writers, readers, thinkers, dreamers, travelers, nurturers, and magic-makers. You light up my life. May 2026 be healthy, happy, and gently sprinkled with unexpectedly delightful Adventures. ((((((ALL OF YOU))))))
