Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Merry Christmas Morning All.

Back from our walk, some biscotti and coffee are in order; Samantha loves this weather. Pretty darn quiet around town, just a couple cars were seen. I think a fire would be nice.

Sam; that was quiet a movie, wasn't it. The spoiler thread has some interesting observations. Yes, a couple more viewings for me as well.

OT: coffee is always a good idea

300winmag: Thanks for posting the email. Seems the package arrived "neither early nor late, but at just the right time". Prayers for the nodules to be benign.

g'nad; that was a great pic of the family. The newboy sure seems to be growing, heck, he'll be in woods with you by spring. :-)

suziq, wow, you were sure up late, hope you're getting some shut eye.

hair; glad you were able to nurse ecurbh back to health. Have fun at the beach and toss giget a treat for us.

corin; loved the no elfs, the tree and pianer look great.

Ah, the biscotti has arrived;

Morning OB!

I'm fixin' to roll the crust out now.

Carbide cannons were fun.
Now they're banned here in NY.
Supposedly dangerous.

Just finished my baking. Was going to make oatmeal scotchies but there's a big'ol mouse in the house- and he ate all the butterscotch chips, Well almost all- 3/4 of the bag. Grrr. So I made brownies instead and rolled the remaining scotchies into the batter. So brownies, choco chip cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies all on pretty platters. Am taking a break before I start prepping dinner.

Hmmmm. Pecan Pie

btw, LSA said she just unfolds her pie crusts.:-)

[Overtaxed]

Heh....I'm just stubborn, I guess.

I was taught to cook in the "make it from scratch" school. I've never bought a box of Bisquick in my whole life.

[Overtaxed]

Big ol' mouse? I've got a big ol' cat who's trying to con me out of more Fancy Feast.

[Lil'freeper]

Big ol' mouse?

A Big ol' spouse mouse.

[Overtaxed]

Good thing my cat doesn't want butterscotch pieces.

[Professional Engineer]

Allright! Thanks for this post.

[Professional Engineer]

Heh heh

what big brother doesn't know, etc. Grandpa and I built our own. I miss him alot.

[Darksheare]

True.
But lately I've had a habit of getting 'caught' with my experiments in theoretical humor.
Of course, it's kinda hard to keep things quiet when one drops turpentine on resublimed iodine crystals.
Roiling clouds of purplish smoke occur, and people tend to notice such things.
Got the great idea of doing that from one of James Herriot's books.

[Professional Engineer]

I am wizard, hear me type.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Well, your count for the week actually went down from 138 to 124 posts... but your weekly percentage went up from 5.13% to 5.87%. Everyone else was posting less too!

[Darksheare]

*chuckle*
I do the "finger poke" method of typing.
My keyboard skills are suspect at best, execrable at worst.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I find it somewhat amazing that Wn was only really here for three days, and she still placed #6.

[Darksheare]

SO, it's aconspiracy then!
Everyone else posted less to drive my percentage upwards, I want a recount!
*chuckle*

Christmas shopping and last minute stuff probably why everyone's post count dropped.
Otherwise I'd be buried in there in comfortable minusculity.

[Professional Engineer]

Wait a minute there buddy. A recount will screw up the cahd even further.

Electronic chad. There's a concept.
