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! |

Yeah, three's about max here, it'd get pretty chaotic with dogs and work and bathrooms and stuff with more than that...well, that and they'd have nowhere to sleep!
Wow! It is gettin' close to time, better circle my calendar when it turns. I'd better get Ruthy, WN and OT some directions. We're easy to find and close to the weddin' -- there is that.
To: Ramius
I can just see it. Some spazzed-out woman makes a knife out of a soda can and next thing you know, F-16s are escorting us down...

Fine with me. The weather weenies were really into those two storm systems that came through the other night. I liked the fool standing out in a dounpour at the speedway just to tell us that it was raining.
To: 2Jedismom; Ramius
I think he was thinkin' of something simpler...full can in a sock makes a good weapon for crackin' someone over the head.

We can take Ruthy and WN (and Ramius!) to Frisco Freeze or The Rock or E-9 on Thursday. (But I gotta work the next day :-{
To: RosieCotton
Oh...HAHA! I immediately thought "Disection!"

Ummm...."downpour". I guess it could be "dounpour" if I were Scottish.
To: RMDupree
I know...we'll be fine. And I used to love to fly! Went up with my dad in a Cessna all the time.
I'm sure all will go well...

I'm game for anything, even if it's just hanging out eating KFC and watching one of The Movies, Scott. Don't put yourself and your family out too much on my account!

Nope...we ain't doin' KFC! We got cool stuff in town to show folks...and it looks like that's the only day that we'll have free for that kind of thing.

Thursday night it seems it will just be Ruthy, WN and now 2J unless 2J comes Friday with OT...
Maybe Friday they'll re-think it then and go in on a room together. Heck - Saturday night many may just crash at the beach house! There won't be any adult supervision at all after dark, and we plan a fire on the beach.
Should we kinda map it out and count people each night and where we might be?

Yep...my dad is a pilot. He doesn't fly anymore, but when he did, he would take me up whenever I was home.
I loved it...we'd fly over the beach.

I could help with a room...and staying at the beach house sounds like a BLAST!
I'm with Ruthy...I don't care what we do or where, just so we get to visit!

Well, since OT is coming Friday and has the couch reserved, 2J can have it (the couch) Thursday. So that'll cover one of the nights right there.
To: Scott from the Left Coast
I'm so excited about this trip for SO MANY reasons!!
