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!

Prayers for Nana, Corin. I know she must be in awful pain, but the frustration is probably even worse!

OK, I googled it, they used an EMD F series locomotive in Silver Streak, built in 1952, belonging to CP.

Oh, dear... hope it works out OK. Maybe she just needs a little WD-40? :-)

Hang in there, pal.

Colin's a moron. That's all there is to it.

Agreed... I would have cheered to see his sorry butt thrown in an African jail.

Nana's hip (the new one) locked up on her tonite.

Oh, man, hope it's nothing serious!

They're older than I am

Physically, but not in maturity, I think.

Woo Hoo! You were a cowgirl!! You're right cute in that picture, honey!

My sister and I had some hats like that many moons ago.

Master Sea-man! And how are you this evening?

I'm recovering from the "Mommy calls" today ... sorta like what Rosie has to deal with. Mommy and/or Daddy are on the East Coast; baby girl/boy is on the West Coast with the computer; I'm in Austin. Mommy/Daddy call me, wailing that their baby child is flunking all their courses because the mean ol' computer doesn't work.

Closely related: Mommy/Daddy, computer-stupid, are in the dorm room with the computer. Baby child is elsewhere, running in the halls and chatting up sex partners, leaving Mommy/Daddy to call me.

I'll be glad when mid-terms are here ... I'd rather have the cryers than the officious Mommy/Daddy demanding I stand on my head for their baby child!

Nobody can explain it.
Some say she's still alive.
They even claim they've seen her
On the shoreline late at night.
So if you go down by the water,
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne.

It was red (of course), with a white leather whipstitch trim.

I had red boots, too, but I wasn't wearing 'em in the snow ... too cold!

HI From Denver! I think the interview this A.M. went OK...it's shock-jock "journalism" so you never know how it's edited (especially since I couldn't watch channel 5 in Denver). Denver is a bit disappointing (probably 'cause I'm not here during winter when I could ski). Just a big city like all the others...lots of homeless folks in the parks and lots of advertisements in Spanish for the migrant workers. Not too impressed but still, it'll be an easier rest of the week from here than from the office. Kind of nice Freepin on the work computer...take that you leftists!

Hi Rose...your just a country gal with your Garth! I'm going to be stopping in Dallas on another trip next month (to Ft. McLellan in Alabama), so I'll get to be in Texas for a little while anyway. Sure wish I could be in Texas, in some of my favorite places there...Austin, Lake Travis, San Antonio, for a lot more time than I'll have!;

My condolences Rose... I know I get my share of insufferable calls, but those mommy/daddy calls sound like the worst... yeesh. "if you don't care enough about it to spend the time with me to fix it... then why, exactly, am I supposed to care about your problem, again?"

...or something like that... :-)
