The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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!

Eeek. That's too far. You don't want to be on the other side of the bridge from Gig Harbor if possible.

ecurbh's family is staying here.... Gig Harbor Motor Inn. But - for $10 more per night, you could be at the The Inn At Gig Harbor and be staying in class.

Cheap though, is the Westwynd Motel It's a few miles out of town.... We went there, the rooms are tired, but cheap. It looks like a Travelodge.

Exactly which nights are you staying? If you are able to stay after, I'd have you pack up and stay down here where we'll be afterwards, and hotels are significantly cheaper here in Olympia/Tumwater.

We arrive the evening of the Thursday, the 17th, and leave Tuesday afternoon, the 22nd.

I take it most of the action will be taking place in Gig Harbor, over the entire weekend? I wasn't sure what y'all's plans were for Sunday and Monday...

I wondered if Nancy would finally lose it when it came to that point and God Bless her, she did. I just sobbed when she laid her head on the casket and I could see her shoulders shaking. The kids ran up to be with her and just held her for a long time.

Yup, that ~really~ got me too. Spent a lot of this day in tears.

Listening to "Into the West" now.... very cathartic. Our dear Ronnie has gone into the west.

I doubt there many dry eyes in the FR & HH households tonight.

Oh DEFINITELY no dry eyes here!!!! Especially watching poor Nancy break down at the coffin. I was wishing so hard all the cameras would cut off so she could have her final farewell unmonitored.

God bless her soul!

At least Sunday and Sunday night we'll be back down here. You could stay here in Tumwater with a couple choices, a Super 8, A Best Western and a Comfort Inn within a couple miles I am gonna guess they are in the $60-$75 range. Won't need to make reservations even, they'll always have availability and you can be flexible that way. Monday we could play if there is something you want to see here, or we could hang around, go back to the beach house, whatever!

Until the the wedding, the action is in Gig Harbor or Tacoma, Scott is in the Tacoma/Fircrest University Place area.

A group of horse riders hold their hands over their hearts along the motorcade route as the hearse carrying the American flag draped mahogany casket of former United States president Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) heads to the burial services for Reagan at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, June 11, 2004.

Guess everyone else has gone to bed, and I should head there too.

Good night, thread!

Talk to you tomorrow.... maybe in the next day or two we should talk on the phone about the options, easier than back and forth and mull over choices than here!

Okeydoke, was off getting ready for bed here. I think Rose and I need to think about this a bit more, since she had wanted to go to that SF museum shindig in Seattle on Friday. We may wind up staying in a different hotel each night!

Good night!

Morning all. Am running household errands this morning, hope to work in the garden this afternoon. We took a break from the services yesterday, which were completely overwhelming, to get out of the house. We did dinner and a movie- will file my review of Riddick later. It was decent, we'll probably buy it when it comes out on DVD.

Good morning all; did a coffee and donut run this a.m.; donuts are something special as we rarely get them.

Sipping and freeping now, enough rain to make gardening a bit challenging today but all is not lost, I have another snakeskin to put on a bow today. Gypsy is taking her post breakfast pre walk nap, she has quite a routine, she has trained us well. :-)

Pink astible and yarrow are blooming, the rain beat down a few asiatic lilies but a bit of staking will fix that. Another canna broke through yesterday. Will be interesting which colors and sizes made it this year.

Gypsy is stirring so it's time for our constituionals.
