The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

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 guess I would just send to the 'other' places. Where other?

Is your auction sill going on, and is it going to benefit the troops?

Yes, it goes on until a week from tomorrow. Every dime is going towards more knives. We've just adopted Jerry, a "civilian contractor", who has 1800 troops in a backwater of the war to look after.

I'll be posting current standings shortly.

That warm milk sounds extra yummy! I will have to try it tonight. It's getting to where I don't sleep much at night, between potty breaks and acid reflux. I get some of my best rest from 10am to 1pm. A glass of milk helps the reflux, but sorta increases the potty break aspect, LOL.

I have been getting a lot of night time reading in though :-) We need to think up a name for the milk... it doesn't contain beer, so it can't be of hobbit origin. Hmm, gotta be elvish. We have lembas bread already, could this be Lembas Juice? LOL!

Mail is suspended as all of the trucks are being attacked.

Glad Lt. Brown is doing better. More prayers for both him and Pvt. Walsh.

Wneighbor, I'm still sending the money. You can send the package when it's safe to mail.

Stay safe, smaagee!

Sorry I missed it yesterday

Heh...I missed it too. I had to go cut the grass at the cozy contemporary cottage so I haven't been online until a few minutes ago.

Thanks for the well wishes. Looks like I'm still kicking around...

The other places are Afghanistan and that place 300WinMag mentioned in his post yesterday. The unidentifiable one.

I just got off the phone with Jill to see what news Tom had of the mail situation. Tom is going to try to find out more about whether his old platoon can get stuff but word is now that those guys have been sent to Fallujah. Prayers are needed by those guys I'm sure.

As of now, there are $30 bids on knives 4,5 and 6. The two fixed-blades, and the KA-BAR/Dozier folder.

You think she needs a bigger one? Or are you wanting a bigger one for yourself.

of course, if ramius were around - we'd know we needed a bigger one.
