The Little Free Library that I had designed with the help of Terry Faust of Wee Weather Vanes was officially opened with a party yesterday. I couldn't be more pleased with how it all went.

Here I am with Terry Faust, who designed the Little Free Library for me:

Here is me with my sisters Betsy and Cindy. The photographer took the picture from within the LFL looking out, using a remote control:

In keeping with the hobbit theme, I put on a spread of hobbit-style food, including Bag End Seed Cake, Sam Gamgee’s Special Tators, Farmer Maggot’s Stuffed Mushrooms, a hobbit-style apple tart, gingerbread scones, and plenty of cheese to fill up the corners, as the hobbits say. The mix of people worked well, making for interesting and lively conversation.

Table is set with a variety of hobbit-inspired foods. It's a party!

I have registered the library on the Little Free Library website under "Robert F. Ihinger, Jr. Memorial LFL." The registration should be live in three days or so. Stop by anytime you are in Minneapolis.
