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!

Mornin' LF; I readily see the reference, shouldn't there be a few alligators in there to obtain the proper effect? :-)

Have a safe journey as you commence to make your way to lands by the western sea.

Sometimes things you really dread are the memories you cherish the most in retrospect, if that makes sense.

But buildup and high expectations and stress are all part of a wedding, unfortunately.

We're here with you, sis!

I don't know how I'm gonna get through the day, I'm so excited!

WOW that is some kinda curling iron, Rose!! Took me a sec to figure out what it was!

I used to have a curling iron that the bristles retracted...pulled right into the curling iron it's self. That worked great, no caught hair. But when it died, they didn't seem to make them anymore...

I've never been able to use the plain bristled kind and was always scared of the metal kind with the clamp...seemed like I always was getting burned.

I have the same problem with hot rollers...the bristled kind, you know...with the hard plastic bristles. I get my hair tangled on them, can't get them out and have to walk around with a roller hanging from my head like a dingleberry or I burn myself. (I seem to be accident prone around hot things...I burned my forearm on the iron a few weeks ago.)

So I thought these sponge rollers would be safe...no heat, no injury! LOL

I can see why you'd get the bristle kind stuck in your hair. have to have pretty short hair for those. I'd never get it back out of my hair.

Maybe we can just make it small... just enough to need her sprayed with a hose. No blowing it out the shorts. :-)

2J's a good friend... she'll ease your stress for ya.

Is there a box fan flying at *me* yet? :-)

Okay, ya'll may want to just hope that I get out of Dallas tomorrow without getting thrown in jail. This brother that I'm going to stay with tonight - who is my ride to the airport tomorrow has been talking trash about Myranda and my other brother's daughter since the little family trip to Colorado at Christmas.

I have not seen him since this all happened but he just better not say nothin' to me about Myranda or Amanda. I will be keepin' my mouth shut if he keeps his mouth shut... but if he says somethin.....

I suppose I woke up in a brawling sort of mood... knowing I gotta stay with the brother where I gotta mind my P's and Q's tonight.

I was just thinking the other day about how few times there are in our lives when we get to honor another person...really go all out, dress up and act serious...very few times. Weddings are rare indeed.

I'm just so thankful (and I bet I speak for all of those going) that I got to know you and that you want me at this event. That's quite a compliment.

I don't have any expectations except that I intend to do whatever I can to make your day lovely and memorable. Something you can look back on all your life and say "That day was just about perfect."

Oh, there'll be little glitches, but I imagine they won't matter and will fade from memory, leaving only the shining perfect moments behind. Or they'll be little memories that come up and give you a chuckle now and then...something to recount when you think about your special day.

Take it slow, enjoy the day like a fine wine...don't rush around fretting! We'll follow your lead.

Heh heh heh...remember the party scene in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown?"

"He's my friend, 'til the bitter end..."
