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!

Photoshop sounds like fun!

Heck, *I'D* love to take a "for fun" Photoshop class, just to learn how to play around in it a little!

Yeah, Photoshop is fun to fool around with. I have taught a basic photoshop class a couple of years ago... but I forgot everything except what I like to play with! LOL

It's crazy here at work. I've got to enter a bunch of new hires into the system, but I thought I'd give one of our "loveable" liberal buddies some warm wishes today!

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY ANDY SERKIS!

*snif* I almost miss our pal, Boogerbrains.

All you praying Freepers: I got a call today re my tag-line. I'm waiting for a call-back now.

If it it the Lord's will I'd go today.

If it isn't, I don't want to even be considered.

Like Gideon, I have my fleece out: if the Lord doesn't want me to go (but would anyway just to teach me a lesson-- He does that, you know) let the interviewer be completely unimpressed; "you're not what we're looking for" etc.

And pray for those who can and must go.

Thanks!

Of course he [should have]! Should have pushed him right off!

Course, I am not sure Mr. Tolkien would have made as much money from such a short story. Tolkien and Elrond were in cahoots.

Hardly, I'm sure Elrond said "suuuuuuuuuuurrree, I'll push 'im off Professer T....suuuuuuuuuure I will...."

Never trust an elf.

No call, yet, and the pins and needles are a tad pointy.
