Maybe they used to belong to Morgoth!
Perhaps someone recovered one of them after that unfortunate "foot-hacking-off" incident.
I am leaving my job as of the first of the year and going into my second retirement so have a bit of phase out cash to pay with that made this and the basement refinishing all possible.
Excellent news! you certainly deserve a long and happy retirement...
You must let us know when the museum is open to the paying public!
I don't suppose Mrs SF has thought of operating a B&B to cater for all the visitors?
Perhaps a middle earth theme? Sleeping accommodations like those right above Goblin Town?
Well, it would beat taking an elevator to the basement!
Ah, the thought of all that fresh, home-grown Hobbity-goodness - I can smell the bacon from here...double mushrooms for me, please!
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Excellent suggestion. The best I could come up with was the sandal was worn by an orc who wanted to put his best foot forward.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers
