The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

Old age and treachery beats youth and inexperience every time. :-)

It wasn't inexperience, just misguided altruism, LOL!

Same thing. LOL...

Hell... liberalism is misguided altruism. But lets not go there. :-P

Hey, I didn't say I was throwing away money!--I'm not *that* altruistic, LOL!

GOOD MORNING!!! Up with you, night-owls! :)

Wouldn't it suck if we could wake each other up like that?

more coffee...

Ah, that's better.

I introduce to you Mr. J. Artley Beeber, of Lycoming County, PA, who does not appear particularly stuned.

"The First National Bank was organized, December 3, 1863, with a capital of $100,000, with the privilege of increasing it to $300,000. It was the first national bank to open in the city, and the fourth in the State. The building in which it is located was erected by Thomas Hall in 1840-42, and was first used for a hotel for a dozen or more years. It became the property of the Messrs. Doebler, who gave it the name of the United States Hotel, and under their management it became very popular and did a large business. Soon after the death of Valentine S. Doebler the building was purchased by the banking company. Abraham Updegraff was chosen president and served until his death, April 17, 1884. On the 1st of May following J. A. Beeber was chosen his successor and still fills the office. The capital stock and surplus now amount to $500,000. The present officers are: President, J. A. Beeber; cashier, W. H. Sloan; directors, J. A. Beeber, W. H. Sloan, James V. Brown, James J. Gibson, John M. Young, A. D. Hermance, E. Andrews, S. N. Williams."

Heh...I shopped at HEB during my all-too-short Texan sojourn...IIRC, the bank statement always referred to "Henry Butts"...the founder's name, but no reference to it being a grocery...

I made him a bowl of this stuff, but I went ahead and had some with him and we both love it.

That's exciting to hear. I have *blech* responses to cereals with that kind of consistency- cream of wheat especially. Very childish, I know. So I haven't done much more than sprinkle it into other foods. It's vey good for you.

Sheesh, if that was the gentle version I'd hate to see the rough version.

Oh, I almost forgot... the gentle version comes with a hug. ((FEDORA))

Yeah, you don't want to invite me to seminars and stuff. I make scenes and tend to embarass the people I'm with.

Love that little T-shirt. I should get one for my wee nephew. It would drive his bleeding-heart liberal mom nuts.

Good morning!

Switched from sore throat to congested. Which is good. I can live with this.

And it's payday...always a good thing!

Good morning, all!

I'm reading an article about a poor man here in Tulsa that got stuck under a trash truck in his VW Beetle. They interviewed the son, last night on the news and I was so struck by the man's composure...I would have been hysterical. The son just praised the fire fighters and other rescue workers and said "All glory to God, thank you Lord Jesus." Said it right there on the news!

Here's the news article...the son is praising God in it, too!

Steve and I were very moved, I've been prayin' for the man. I'm gonna try to find him and send him a card.

I know it!

Well, today is the first day of school...people are parked in my grass out front waiting for the school bus.

Sigh...Joshua should be up soon and I should start my day...

I'll never understand why places start school in the middle of the week. Just doesn't make sense to me!

I know it! Weird. I went just now and sat and visited with my neighbor while she waited for her son to get on the bus. That was nice, I never get to visit with her and I like the chance.

Well, joshua is up...I tossed him a granola bar to munch on till I feed Matthew. Matthew doesn't like to eat when he first gets up, unlike Joshua, who used to say "Eat, Now" upon opening his eyes when he was still sleeping in with me and could barely talk!

Have a good day! I'm off for now.
