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!

It's swank, huh??? I can't wait to see it tomorrow!

Ok-ok-ok...here's the plan. In a year, after Steve finishes college, I will approach my little brother with the idea that he ought to consider selling that purple PT Cruiser of his to me...He might be open to the suggestion, it will be a few years old by then...if so, I'll get his car and hold on to it until my folks are ready to sell the Aviator!

That sounds like planning ahead, LOL! Hmmm, maybe I need to talk my other family members into a plan like that. . . :)

How come our areas get stuck with him this week? Any way I can convince you guys to keep him there rather than sending him over here?

Did she really get the DVD player and all that?

OK, I'm home and I gotta clean. Ugh!

Though, I don't actually have any weekend plans and I could just start driving Friday afternoon...

I'm still tryin' to think rationally about this, and I'm assuming it ain't gonna happen, and I DO want to visit in CO.

But I wonder how much a coupla hotel rooms at an inexpensive but decent hotel in the Utica area would be...

I am finished with video filming now! We did the last of it this afternoon. This project will be done in 2 weeks! Whew! I am relieved. And tired.

(why did I feel the need to ping Ruthy and WN to this post?)

I can't imagine why! Ruthy and I are nothing like Thelma and Louise. We're flying in a plane. And renting a hardtop.

that's it...Im gonna get the theatrical ROTK this weekend. I gotta see my Pip...

He was supposed to keep his mouth shut.... and next thing we know... he has spilled it about Boromir, and sworn an oath to the wrong party!

Watching it now... between naps! ecurbh is out cold. We watched all the features first though, and there is some new stuff in the features. I hadn't seen the Nat Geographic special narrated by JRD. It compares the characters to history, and is interesting! And a couple 'making of' features that had new stuff, but repeat each other a little.

...And not killing anybody... right? ;~D

I still found that movie to be one of life's disappointments. I thought it was supposed to be this great downtrodden woman's anthem, and it starred the two most idiotic dim-she-wits I ever saw on film.

We got ours at Fred Meyer... and it came with a bonus disk J.R.R. Tolkien - Master of the Rings - The Definitive Guide to the World of the Rings.

That was a surprise! - Did all the stores give those out free or just Fred Meyer?

Got mine at Tar-Zhay...No disc by that name. However, due to the sale prices, I got all three theatricals for $3.15 less than the boxed three theatricals Sale Price!

We haven't watched it yet.

I am so eager for the Extended Edition I can see the cuts in this one!

It couldn't be that much... if you were only bringin' a sister, we could always share...

Only if we were going to do something so insanely fun, we'd have to decide right now, tonight, so I could arrange to take Friday as a half-day.

Agreed! I had heard about it before I saw it. Waited years to actually see the thing. Myranda talked me into it. Whole thing ticked me off.... except the big explosion. I liked that. :-)
