Happy Birthday, Frodo and Bilbo!

Today, September 22nd, is recognized as Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday... Born years apart, but curioiusly on the same day, Frodo and Bilbo made it a habit to celebrate their birthday together.  Today also is, of course, the day that Bilbo made his disappearing act under the party tree on his eleventy-first birthday, marking it as the last time folks in Hobbiton saw the curious Hobbit.

So, silly as it might sound, we're here to wish a happy birthday to the two Hobbits who we accompanied on their quests through Middle-earth!
