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!

...and rightfully so. :-) It's a secret.

[Ramius]

A pox on you. Uff da.

[Fedora]

What great pics!--everyone looks so happy :)

[HairOfTheDog]

Great kidlette pics! Thanks for sharin' 'em!

[Wneighbor]

Hmmph! I will come torture this secret out of you!

[Professional Engineer]

Msdrby is doing OK. She's very sore, and is having to get in and out of bed herself,etc., for the practice. Both she and Kidlette are doing very well. Elf-boy was VEY excited to see his babysister, and Grandma got to hold her as well.

BTW - for the Dwarves. Within 30 seconds of the first tiny little wahhhhh she had proven that both the bladder and bowel work.

[Professional Engineer]

"Hey... this isn't like the brochures.... "

ROFLMAO!

[Ramius]

I will never tell.

[Fedora]

I never knew Uff da was a secret--LOL!

UFF DA IS:
-trying to dance the polka to rock and roll music
-losing your wad of gum in the chicken yard
-having Swedish meat balls at a lutefisk supper
-spending two hours cleaning up my room and my mom says 'Uff Da'
-walking downtown and then wondering what you wanted
-arriving late at a lutefisk supper and getting served minced ham instead
-looking in the mirror and discovering you're not getting better, just older
-trying to pour two buckets of manure into one bucket
-having a mouse crawl up your leg when you're on a hayload
eating hot soup when you've got a runny nose
-getting out of bed in the morning with a backache
-getting swished in the face with a cow's wet tail
-waking yourself up in church with your own snoring
-forgetting your mother-in-law's first name
-when two steady girl friends find out about each other
-noticing non-Norwegians at a church dinner using lefse for a napkin

[Wneighbor]

Well, havin' your tummy sliced open would tend to make one sore. But, I reckon if she's gettin' in and out of bed everything is pretty good. Glad Elf-boy is excited! That is a very good thing. :-)

[Wneighbor]

I will never tell.

BWAAaaaahahahaha... we'll see. :-)

[Ramius]

using lefse for a napkin

Nobody, but NOBODY would ever do this. :-)

[Ramius]

Uff da.

[ecurbh]

Guess I'm a good little conservative, cuz I hear "Rush" and think "Limbaugh".

You ain't the only one! ;~D

[Wneighbor]

I think I have been insulted.

Or at least the prospect of my torture techniques.

One should never underestimate a woman bent on torture.

[Fedora]

Q: What did the first Norwegian who saw pizza say?
A: "Who threw up on the lefse?"
:-)

[Ramius]

That wasn't an insult. It was a compliment. Context is everything. :-) That's the wonderful thing about ambiguous expressions.

[Ramius]

Lutefisk.

[Wneighbor]

So you say...

... the other wonderful thing about ambiguous expressions is that one can hide his true meaning!

may have to call the dwarves to my defense here.

[Ramius]

Dwarves, being a Nordic construct, may be of less help than you suppose. :-)

Elves, on the other hand... are clearly Swedish. And we all know what the norse thot bout' da swedes... :-)

OK... ok... just kidding... :-) Yeesh.
