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!

Had any time to work on the sailboat yet?

uh... nope. At this point I'm afraid to go down to the marina. I'm afraid all I'm going to find is my slip with a mast sticking up, and mooring lines leading down into the water. :-(

[RMDupree]

OK, folkses. Baby's whining - seems something's bugging her tonight...*sigh*

I'm off to settle her and myself into bed.

Nighty night!

[Wneighbor]

~covering ears~

No! Don't say that! Not what I want to hear!

~not listening~

:-( -- so you're saying no sailing huh?

[Wneighbor]

Goodnight then Ruthy.

Hug for Alison.

And for Becky.

(((Ruthy)))

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

One can hope. ;)

[Wneighbor]

I ain't forgot. :-)

I'm thinking you need an expert at time off to help you learn to deal with this

I want to go back to school and major in time off. Maybe get a Master's degree in it.

[Wneighbor]

I'm workin' on that m'self! :-)

[Ramius]

I'm not saying no sailing... I still hope to get down there and make sure that all systems are in order. It just ain't happened yet.

[osagebowman]

Thanks WN;

CONGRATULATIONS PE & MSDRBY

[Wneighbor]

I wasn't tryin' to bug you.... not too much anyway... I know ya'll have to have the stuff at the house all ready in a short time. No boat necesary with all that stuff to do. :-)

[osagebowman]

wow; that is a double whammy. Hope all goes well on the job front. Banks, your term is well phrased, they are.

[Fedora]

Hi, Ruthy! Will pray for you and your mom on the mortgage thing. As for the bank here's what I have to say to them :)

[Fedora]

I haven't stopped talkin'. I just have nothing worthwhile to say.

That never stops me :) Hey, waitaminute. . .

[Fedora]

Yeah...I had some kind of low-energy ebb today. Just couldn't shake it.

I kinda had one of those today 'cause the weather is so overcast and muggy. How's it by you?

[Fedora]

hehehe... now we know... it's Ramius' fault! :-)

What'd he do now? :)

[Ramius]

What *haven't* I done?? I'm pretty much OK with the idea that everything is my fault. Just ask the Balrog, and his "minions".

Nothing scares me anymore. Not after that night in Tijuana. :-)

[Wneighbor]

What'd he do now? :)

He gave me and Ruthy the hiccups.

It's that rugged Rohirrim manliness of his. Just does us single hobbit-lasses and elf-wimmin in! ~swoon~

[Wneighbor]

What *haven't* I done?? I'm pretty much OK with the idea that everything is my fault.

ahem.... please read my previous post afore passin' judgement on my comments!

mumble mumble mumble... 't's what I get for tryin' ta be nice. :-)

almost forgot. new nails. sharp - and I ain't talkin' 'bout appearance.
