Its the first day of fall. Its also national ice cream day ,national white chocolate day and national hobbit day so do u like bilbo?

I read The Hobbit many years ago . I can't remember which grade I was in. I don't care much for white chocolate but I love ice cream. As for Fall, I'm glad it's here. The mornings have been cooler but I'm ready for the days to be a little cooler too.

I'll celebrate the first day of fall with a big bowl of ice cream. The Hobbits bore me to death.

Samwise Gamgee is the only hobbit truly worth celebrating.

I love LOTR, Hobbits and white chocolate ice cream.

Not a fan of hobbits. The first day of fall is a good thing, I'm so over the summer. I'll take the ice cream.

Bummer ! Fall ! Almost end of swimming season ! Guess I'll get used to it. Blah ! I read the Lord of the Rings many years ago. It was OK at best.

Did you say ice cream? Yes, please!

As for fall....It will be another month before I can even turn the air off at night and open the windows. I do think I will go out and get some fall colored flowers this afternoon, and freshen up my planters.

i got paid last Wednesday, and get paid again tomorrow. So i think tonight, im gunna treat myself to some mcdoubles and a mcflurry.

In North Texas, the only way you would think it is the first day of fall is if you looked on a calendar---it will be in the 90's again today.

White chocolate---no, I'll skip it, and I never did like the taste:

"In many countries, white chocolate is not classified as chocolate at all, as it contains no cocoa solids, which gives it the smooth ivory or beige color. White "chocolate" is the most fragile form of all chocolates and close attention must be paid to it while heating or melting as it will burn and seize very easily unless heated very slowly. White chocolate originates from the cocoa (cacao) plant but lacks "chocolate" flavor due to the absence of the chocolate liquor which is what gives dark and milk chocolate their intense, bitter flavor and color. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar, lecithin and flavorings (usually including vanilla). Cocoa butter is the fat from cocoa beans, extracted from the cocoa beans during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder. Cocoa butter has very little 'chocolate' flavor."

Hobbits---There was a girl I knew and liked who had just finished pre-med and was both intelligent and good looking, and she was reading The Lord of the Rings at work.

So, consonant with my general preference to know what I may have occasion to talk about in the future, I started to read The Hobbit and I also purchased the trilogy by Tolkien.  (I read The Godfather and The Exorcist in 24 hours ---so no big effort for me.)

I finished The Hobbit, but it was more work than fun. And she was off to med school in two months, so there was no real point to what I was doing.

At the time I was unaware that Tolkien was Catholic.  I kept the trilogy, so I do plan on reading it someday.

And ice cream is such a "yes" that I forgot to mention it.
