Once Upon a Time, I Visited The Hobbit Cafe
In a hole in the wall, there lived a Hobbit’s Cafe. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor not quite dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means real, down home comfort. The Hobbit […]

The Charming Neighborhood of Memorial
