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.

I decided I'm going now too. I'm too focused on food to work anyway. I'm gonna see if my neighbor girl wants to go eat with me. Back later!

Joe T's? It's on Main and 22nd st in Fort Worth, right next to the stock yards. Actual name is Joe T. Garcia's.

Ruthy just called to find out the scoop on Dad...

Which reminded me, I forgot to mention! - I called Dad, again, on the way to the interview, and asked him if he got the email from me.... he says "Oh yeah, that was really funny!" I say "No, not the funny one, the other one!" He says "I didn't ~get~ another one!"

Argh! So I just told him. Told him the whole thing, including having it at the beach house. He has been expecting the news, and is fine with it being at the beach house! He really likes Bruce and is happy for me, and us. Hopes we find jobs soon so money doesn't drive a wedge in a good thing. Even mentioned Mom, in an uncharacteristic way, saying it was too bad she can't be there.

When I got home I re-sent the email, and this time I know he got it, because he said:

:)

Dad

Oh dear! What a saga!

Hello Steve :)

If I want to reply to everyone, I just type "all". There may be another tricksy way to do it though...

We keep hearing the bad news from Iraq here in the States. If you have any good news from Iraq of anything, it would be most appreciated!

Stay strong, stay safe...

Daddy taped one of her targets to the back door after the house was broken into. Captioned, "The woman of the house did this." 6 shots, right in the center.

Cool! Sounds like something my dad would have done.

[Wneighbor]

Is it kinda a hole in the wall? Home owned? (I think) The name sounds right.

Well, my neighbor is still at work. I'm nuking leftover gumbo. I really want something more substantial after not eating all day!

[Wneighbor]

WAY COOL!!!!

Congratulations of getting over that hurdle! :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

woo hoo!

You are talkin' big today!

BTW, don't know if I got the other job.... was just an interview.

[Wneighbor]

That's it!!! I had the fajitas! Everyone else told me I was supposed to have the regular thing though. They did. It was ALL good!

We're goin'. New moot in the works. PurpleQ can make this one. She only lives just south of Waco. :-)

We both agree that we are even more conservative than our parents.

Yeah, I conveyed the covnersation to my mother who promptly changed the subject. She couldn't get off the phone fast enough. Later, she told me she had a student and couldn't talk, but I knows better... She does that to me every time I ~try~ to talk to her intelligently.

And I quote... "*sigh* well, I gotta go, talk to ya later!" Ticks me off when she does that. I said, "Fine." and hung up. Not very respectful, and it makes me feel guilty, but then again, she was being rude as well, so we were rude to each other. It gets old after having to put up with it for a lifetime. Later that day, we made up, and all is well. (Still ticks me off when she does that though.)

[JenB]

Well, hope you get the job so you'll have money for the wedding... though I'll bet life as a bum is more fun.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I'll bet life as a bum is more fun.

Hard to pay for one's high-speed Internet connection, though.

[msdrby]

No more gumbo here today. Thank goodness. I was sick all day yesterday. The gumbo didn't make me sick, but I won't be wanting some any time soon if you get my drift.

[HairOfTheDog]

I'll bet life as a bum is more fun.

No..... I have seen both extremes, and the wealthy live better.

[Wneighbor]

Cool! Sounds like something my dad would have done.

I thought it was pretty cool. She done good. And that was the door that the burglars went through. Seemed appropriate. :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Gonna vacuum the house, and then I think there is time for a nap!
