The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I need some answers from the trolls. Keep giving them options and they think of something else. The answers won't change, so I just gotta keep repackaging until they like one.

Plus, Rasputin's got a serious case of "do you have a copy of that document I wrote?"

Well, no. No I don't.

I am at a loss for conversation.

Sonya wants to talk today too about being pregnant, quitting smoking and shopping for baby stuff.... and I can't manage more than few word responses.

You know these guys?

They are featured in the Olympian today, and from the caption, they would be the right age to have been at Tumwater when you were... They are twins....

Tim (left) and Tom Gray, pictured recently in Iraq, are 40-year-old staff sergeants in Iraq with different units. They went to school in Tumwater.

There was a pregnancy test???? I forgot to study!!!

I know, I know, if I'm gonna sleep through Lent, I'm gonna miss a lot of mini-conceptions...

Someway, somehow, I'm thinking that's gotta be vey sacrilegious...

Oh yeah - Sonya's pregnant! But she didn't find out during Lent, it was just this last Saturday.

I guess we know ~one~ thing they didn't give up for Lent.

I laughed out loud, and will laugh out loud again when I see her actually holding a baby for the first time... ;~D Have this image of her holding it at arm's length like a dead fish. ;~D Motherhood is one of the things I never pictured her doing, and I don't think she pictured it either, until about twenty minutes ago.

But Tim is thrilled.
