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!

But I do love good pickles.

LOL- don't assume these'll be too good.

This is my first attempt, truly an experiment. The scientist in me could not be restrained. There are two groups of jars: kosher-garlic-style and the more traditional pickle spice. The control jars go by the recipes. The others vary by the amount of spice, the ripeness of the cukes, presence of grape leaves, etc. Geek pickles.

Big'ol won't touch the stuff (he was stationed in Germany for a while) so I'll be making small batches just for me.

On the flip side of that...I LOVE kraut...but my wife forbade me from ever eating it.

Unless I promised not to be around her, or in the house, for at least three days following.

Did they assign everything to you while you were gone?

No, but they didn't really pick up any slack either. I gotta get to work.

BTW, I literally spent over an hour on the phone last night with AOHell. I had rather foolishly signed up for their two months free so we could have dialup at the beach. Last night I called to cancel. I was on hold for at least thirty-five minutes until "Susan" answered and I said "I'd be happy to help you with that."

I said to her "I do not want to hear about additional offers, additional plans, AOL broadband, AOL security, AOL anything. All I want to do is end this call knowing that I do not have any account with AOL, either dial-up OR broadband. I want to know that my credit card will not be billed and that I will be able to uninstall AOL from my computer as soon as this call is ended. I do not want to hear about additional plans, about monks and scribes about stone tablets and chisels or anything that AOL has to offer. I want to cancel my account and if you are not the person able to help me to do that, please connect me with the person who can."

I swear I said that at least seven times, and that's no exaggeration.

Back later.

Hey Jen,

I finished my last episode (#39) of FMA last night. So I went around desperately looking for the next few eps. I found 'em and have downloaded through #42 and will get #43 when I get home tonight.

It's funny, because he's so tiny compared to many others his age, but he's so fierce! That picture of him with the bowling ball is just a perfect example!! He's fixin' to bowl, and he's going at it full attack! He's literally growling in that picture! LOL He's never had to attack a person, but God help 'em if he ever did!

He once told me that the only thing he regretted about not going to public school was having the opportunity to beat up bullies.

I don't know where he gets it.

Mornin' folks!

No time to catch up at the moment, so I'll have to come back to see how many mini-dramas I've missed. :-)

I did see that Corin has returned, so here's some breakfast.

Oh...need extra bacon...

Welcome back! If I said something like "Behave yourself this time!" would you think that was good advice?
