As I said in beta, this is a great drabble. Your drabbles are always wonderful of course I'm not the biggest hobbity person but I really liked Gorhendad in this. But you can stay a pantser since I love your other drabbles too.

Nancy, this is wonderful. I have to admit I don't guess I even know that about the Shire, but you really brought it to life for me.

your a/n had me LMAO! I've had a lot of trouble and fun with this challenge too. I can't wait to see the rest of the stories.

What a wonderful drabble series, Nancy! I really like the tale you've told us here. It's touching, interesting, beautifully written, and very 'hobbity' Smile smiley face

Oh, what a lovely character you have weaved! He's thoroughly delightful. I especially loved bits about his relationship with Dahlia. She seems like a very interesting lady -and one who could give Gorhendad a run for his money any day. Very nice piece Smile smiley face

A simple tale of coming home ... even if one has to build that home, beam by beam and hole by hole. I loved this line: "loved it like something he’d one day outgrow." NB, guess what? *whispers* You can write hobbits!

This is a wonderful piece. I think your muse led you in the right direction. Whenever I read your stories the word that comes to mind is vivid. That is true with this story as well.

Nicely done! I really like your portrayal of Gorhendad, and am totally impressed with the wealth of story you've managed to tell in so few words. I'd like to see a whole lot more!Smile smiley face
