The Hobbit Hole IX - A sudden tree or standing stone
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^ ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A sudden tree or standing stone

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!

Hehehe....the boss is looking for a name for one of our instruments that's always a problem. He laughed when I said "Hillary, because it's a b*tch."

Yesterday, we made some peach cobbler with Splenda 'stead of sugar. It was my mom's "cuppa cuppa cup" recipe. Vey yummy. And in the words of Chef Tell, "very simple, very easy." I honestly think that instead of being a diet recipe it is more of a diabetic recipe. Still, imagine if you used sugar, whole milk, and real butter!!! Yikes!

1 c. sugar (or splenda)
1 c. flour
1 c. milk (2% or skim)
1 can peaches (I use the light syrup stuff)
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 stick margarine (I use low fat/low cholersterol stuff)

In a 9x13 baking pan melt stick of margarine in 375 degree oven.
Mix rest of ingredients together in a bowl except for the peaches.
Pour carefully into baking pan.
Add peaches to baking pan.
Bake until bubbly and/or dough is light gold in color (abt 20-30 minutes).

A thread to ponder about.

Stop reveals 'naked' truth
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1132737/posts
"Deputy John Ross and deputy Kyle Cabness, were apparently mistaken for male strippers when they pulled over a limousine containing a mobile bachelorette party. "

Happened in Texas...
And it's a bit of an odd humorous read.
Poor guys, they seemed somewhat demoralised afterwards in the article.
*HA!*

LOL, that is funny. On another note... the City of Dallas picked their new Chief today. He is (er.... was?) the deputy city manager of Arlington, my home town. 1) I am glad they picked a local boy to do it. 2) I sure hope he can avoid scandal, unlike his predecessors.

My mother is giving us the old ice cream maker. Otherwise, it is getting thrown away. I was talking to PE last night... we could make any kind we want, and cater to *our* needs 'stead of longing for the$5.00 blue bell ice cream.

"Blue Bell, the best ice cream in the country..." (it is also the most difficult to scoop unless you soften it beforehand!)

I read "Wrinkle" ages ago in school. Sticks in my mind I thought it was a little wierd at the time. Working late tonight so I've thrown a tape on it.

We began "A Wrinkle in Time" last night. Did you know it's going to be on ABC tonight?

Thanks for mentioning that! I was just about to start reading that myself so I'll make sure to watch that.

Cool.
Our area can't hire local boys.
Seems our local boys in blue have a problem with fidelity and other people's wives.

Cool! What projects are you working on now? Getting lots of stuff up to snuff for the wedding? :-)

Marty just left. She and I have literally talked the last 3-1/2 days away. Not only did we lost track of time every time - but it was like hours and hours of time! Last night it was 2:30AM... we both thought it was about 10. That kind of losing track of time. I got a terrible sunburn that way from sitting in the yard and talking. We thought we'd only been out about an hour..... it was more like 5 hours! I am a beet!

We didn't sit in the yard during daytime hours after that!

Welcome back! :) I was starting to wonder where you'd got to!

Thanks! I just had company here from back home. One of those old friends with whom anything and everything both important and trivial must be discussed - and laughed about!
