The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

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!

Aside from Survivor: Pearl Islands, it's the only reality show I watch. I'm already laughing my butt off over Team Pizza...not 10 minutes into the show..."You scumbag!" LOL

It's actually one of the few shows I'll make a point to watch.

MXC, Monster House, and American Chopper are the others.

Apparently, the pic is present intermittently. Never fear, it's on the Yahoo group site as well (that's how I got it linkable).

Good evenin' everyone!

We have some pretty bad brush fires in the area and the smoke was pretty thick outside earlier. It's cleared up a bit now, thank goodness.

My mom and I drove across the state today. Went all the way to Fort Myers through Naples. Checked out some houses, bought a lottery ticket. All in all, pretty boring, but we both had a travel itch that needed scratching.

Got to try out the Rav4's cruise control feature though. That was a nice thing to have. Unfortunately, my rear end's numb from the long car ride.

Note to self: Bring pillow to sit on the next time I'm taking a LONG drive.

It comes and goes. I don't know why.

Those beaded seat mats are exquisite, and completely eliminate numb-butt!

I bought one about 5 years ago when I got a sales job that required a lot of driving...and I never looked back.

Glad to hear that the brush fires are not a concern any longer...and good luck on the lotto!

Those beaded seat covers look uncomfortable, although I do see lots of folks have them. Hmmm.....

Anyway, the forestry division said they have the fires 50% contained, so we hope they'll be gone by the end of the weekend.

And there's never any hope in the lotto, but my mom insists that tickets bought ~away~ from where you live are luckier. *grin*

We're looking at the Naples area as a possibility for Clare when it comes time for college. Ave Maria University is building a new campus, and a new town to go with it near Immokalee.

It's a beautiful place, but a bit spendy to live there.

And it's only a couple of hours away from me, if'n you need me to check up on things. ;-)

Both Rose and I are on the TAR ping list, we've been fans since the first series! I gave Wn the link to the TAR thread back when we were talking about it on Tuesday...

:-) Everyone's got their system! I remember when I was a kid, I used to go to Bingo nights with my Grandmother. You should have seen all the other ladies who had these elaborate systems, trinkets, charms, etc...all "guaranteed to win".

Good deal. Shooter, I didn't realize your son was a Marine. Cool beans. I'm glad you got in touch with Winmag.

Any early picks to win this season?

Although they're currently underdogs, I'm going with Chip/Kim. They work well together, and are one of the only couples not to argue in the first leg of the race.

No, really I moved an extra dresser out of the closet, and into my radio room. LOL

LOL, no, I never make any picks. I probably won't even get familiar enough with the teams to remember their names. I just refer to them in generic terms, i.e. the Fat Guys, the Moms, Dad & Daughter, B*tch & Boytoy, etc. No Gay Guys this time around, at least!

See you all tomorrow! Good night!
