The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

[ecurbh]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

• 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...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

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.

Ummm. I don't think you need to worry about housing all of us. Just telling us those locations and letting us be grown-ups should do it. I'll have rented a car. We can talk amongst ourselves and figure out details as the time draws near.

Stuff you gotta think about is not necesarily us... unless you are thinkin' of us all camping at your place for a bit after the wedding. And those plans too can wait till the time is nearer.

Goodnight all!

[JenB]

Up yet?

I don't want to be, but it's off the the salt mines for me, as soon as I'm done getting ready. Had a nightmare that it was Tuesday and I'd forgotten to work out.

[JenB]

Well, I'm off. Be back around five. See everyone then.

I'm up, I'm up. Early for my day off, but not as early as I'd kinda hoped I'd wake up.

Margaret is here for a bit. Dad's picking her up at eight fifteen or so to drive him home after his eye exam. Trying to figure out what we can quickly have for breakfast...I'm outta eggs. Emergency!

Our pastor talked about the movie after his sermon on Sunday. He really encouraged everyone to go see it. In other words, it IS coming to town. We have one rather wealthy parishioner who did some string pulling and got the reels and arranged it.

They wouldn't let us buy out a show even so, so Father wants us to buy it out of our own accord - next Sunday evening. Then as many people as would like to are invited to stay afterwards so we can talk about it a little. He said he was pretty sure everyone was going to feel like they NEEDED to talk about it as it was going to be really a tough viewing.

He also said he was pretty sure he wasn't gonna feel the urge to go torch a synagogue afterwards. ;-) Heh.

Good morning everyone!

Well, he had a musical special last night and couldn't sing the songs! Argh! I forgot about it. I was outside dealing with the chickens when Steve called me and said "HURRY UP!! His group is singing tonight in the service!" I pulled on some decent clothing and jumped in the truck...took off, brushing hair and applying lipstick while driving! Took me 20 minutes even from notification to arrival...and that is FAST considering how far away our church is! I didn't speed though...there just wasn't any traffic.

So he didn't get to sing his songs.

I have the next set ready to print out...four of them.

1. I stand Amazed at the Presence
2. How Majestic is Thy Name
3. Jesus Paid it All
4. Lord, I want to be a Christian

If he can learn these four this week, he can get checked off on 7, that means he only has four more to do!

Last night, after his special, he got to come down from the choir loft and sit with us. Guess what? One of the music selections was "His Name is Wonderful"...one of the songs he'd learned. He just belted it out! I said "See??? See why you need to learn these?"

I think this is a great idea too, mrsnad...I think we'll maybe try to learn one a week or so on our own...maybe just whenever I think about it even.

My favorite hymn...Morning Has Broken. Means a lot to me. Had it played at our wedding.

We're going Thursday evening. The moms that homeschool at my church. My friend Celeste, you know? She's in charge of this month's Moms in Fellowship. Already got the tickets. I got my mom a ticket too...she's going with me, which makes me a bit nervous...but I think it'll be good.

We're going out for a time of fellowship before the movie, eating dinner together.

Our church bought 80 tickets for people to give away to people who don't have a church home. Last night, they had 8 left.

They showed the trailer in our worship service and I can tell it's going to be a hard movie to watch.

Morning! Getting ready for a meeting at the school this morning. It's we and chilly here. How is it up your way?

[2Jedismom]

I'm all alone on a Monday...

[2Jedismom]

Yes! Someone is here!!

It's dreary and over cost, just now 50 degrees.

I've had one cup of coffee and got the boys fed. I'll eat a bagel here in a sec.

[2Jedismom]

It's dreary and overcast,

[Overtaxed]

Good morning!

We have squirrels in the instruments.

[2Jedismom]

Oh my! LOL

My Sunday school teacher was talking about a group of people from his work that is going over to work on pipelines in Iraq. He said they make a gadget that goes through the pipelines or something, checking them on the inside. The gadgets are called "Pigs."

I asked "Do they plan on calling them something else when they're in Iraq?"

He looked at me kinda puzzled for a sec and then gasped! He said he never thought of THAT!

[Wneighbor]

Yeah, dreary, overcast and cold!

And I gotta get dressed in a skirt for a meeting today. UGH!!

I wanna be in jeans and warm!!!

[Wneighbor]

Squirrels? HUH? In the instruments? What's with that?

[Wneighbor]

Hmmmm.... I'm still thinking there are a number of people over in Iraq that need to be forced to sleep with the pigs... you know, like the prodical son type sleeping with pigs. Rollin' in the slop with 'em. Saddam is the first - since he ain't hung yet.

[Overtaxed]

Hehehe...well...the stupid thing stops running for various reasons....sometimes the computer locks up and sometimes not. Yesterday I went in and got a red light on the mass spec and couldn't get it to go off. Someone else came in later yesterday afternoon, didn't mention anything about that red light but couldn't get the pumps to equilibrate. I didn't have any problem with the pumps.

The stupid thing is just squirrely!

[Wneighbor]

Ah, I was home for the weekend. Real squirrel problems. I wasn't thinking. Squirrels dug and ate some taters that Uncle Lynn's dad put out. They live in a big ol' pecan bottom beside a creek. Just no way to get rid of all the squirrels. You know of what I speak!

We never saw squirrels dig and eat taters. Thought it was coons or something - till he saw the squirrels doing it!

[Overtaxed]

Po-ta-toes.

Dang varmint critters.
