Belated Introduction

Florida! That’s nothing like Ohio, let alone the Hocking Hills! 🙂
I’m glad to be on this forum.

First things first, Rachel. An apology is in order. I beg your pardon for being so late in replying. My only excuse (a rather shabby one) is that something seems to have gone wrong with the setting that sends replies to email. They have not been coming into the inbox. I was on my page today, and saw this cute little button stamped with the word ‘notifications’. I clicked on it, and saw that you had posted here. A thousand apologies. That may be somewhat extravagant, but better safe than sorry. At least, that’s what I always say.
Yes, running a cabin business definitely has been an adventure in the truest sense. Besides the mundane and commonplace occurrences of cars (with their brakes on) flying down our relatively angled incline of a driveway in the winter, often coming to a stop a mere fifty feet beyond the end of the drive, (slight exaggeration added for full shock affect) we have had some interesting moments. But really, cleaning cabins isn’t that bad when you get used to it. Routines become… well… routine, after a while.
I have not tried to write Tengwar, but I know what you’re talking about, and I would love to teach myself to do it if I can ever find the time. Mostly I like learning old fonts like Gothic and Uncial and Carolingian, though I did learn Italic and a lesser known Italian font called Batarde. Uncial and Carolingian are the fonts that Tolkien used for his maps, and that’s what first made me fall in love with them. And Gothic I like because the monkish illuminated scriptures you see from the middle ages are done in that font. I don’t think I’ve learned a single font simply because I thought it was pretty— they all had some sort of meaning to me. But— *choke cough gasp* Heh-heh… you didn’t ask for a lecture on calligraphy. So… I hope this reply was all you were hoping for. Because you’ve certainly had to wait a long time to get it! Again, I do apologize for that.
