Introducing myself…
I live in Southern IL, married with children (grown) 
I am here because I was sent an invitation from The Shire, but I am familiar with you because of friends at FB.
I am a lover of Liberty and spend most of my time advocating for Ron Paul's Presidential campaign.
Hello and welcome. Are you planning a move to the Shire?
No immediate plans, no :) I think I'll need to wait for The Shire phase two that is somewhere much warmer ;D
