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!

Woohooooo!!! That what that young lady was doing in the airport that I got to talk to...taking a 2 week vacation before going back to Iraq. The airport was full of soldiers in groups.

I wanted to hug and thank every one of them!

Welcome home, Steve!!!

Happy Birth Day!

What happened to Danny's hand?

Ironman73 - Danny, is an iron worker, he broke his hand on the job about a week or so ago. It required surgery but he is expected to regain full use of it.

HAPPY BDAY LOLA!

For some reason, that just really tickles my funnybone.

How was the trip? Did you smuggle any alcohol across the border?

[HairOfTheDog]

Trip was long..... the training went as quick as it can.... lucky to have a pretty bright person to train.

Tired now.... four hours of the day just being on the road, it's hot, and my air conditioner in the truck is out of coldness!
