The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 10/05/2004 3:33:41 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner there may wait...

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!

Happy Birthday Rosie!

Even if you don't really want the birthday, remember it's a day for people to celebrate you, and that ought to happen at least once a year.

And...

When people like you, there's only one alternative to having a birthday.

And even then, those closest to you will remember...

Happy Birthday Rosie!

I saw the perfect HH card the other day. It had a picture of a wizard on the front and said:

"Gandalf sent you a birthday card."

Inside it said...

"You were really excited. Gosh you're such a geek!"

Well, I'm back.

Good weekend. I'll post some pictures and more stuff later. Not feeling so hot. Prolly just tired.

Happy Birthday Rosie! (Mine is next Saturday.)

Jen that is a great way to think about birthdays. I really enjoy getting together and whatnot. The thing that makes me feel like a kid again is whenever anyone asks me what I want for my birthday.

All my female cousins are teasing me this year. I get to make my first mamogram appointment after this birthday. Youch!

FYI - I did find out that my cousin's son (Josh), got the knife and packages. He hasn't had the opportunity to respond. He's been in some of the most intense fighting in and around Baghdad.

Jr. had a great time. Said walking in the stadium "this is a memorable day." When we drove back by today, he didn't take his eyes off the campus until it was completely out of sight. Here's hoping something registered.


My cousins (two are missing). Couple in front are my dad's only living sister and her husband.

Looks like fun!

Just got back from the department picnic and softball game. The softball game was aborted when one of the professors fell down, popped his shoulder out, and may or may not have had a mini-seizure-type event. Um. Fortunately there was a firehouse with ambulance literally a hundred yards away so we got help immediately.

Other than that it was fun... nice to chat with some of the faculty types outside of a classroom setting.

Pictures!!!

As a result of me writing the local Army National Guard and telling them how much we appreciate them, (as many of you know) the jedi family and my eldest's webelos troop were invited to tour the Black Hawk Unit here in Tulsa. Here are some pictures.

My husband (waving) with one of the other dads...

Matthew's Webelos (and siblings)

Matthew talking to the commander. The man in the middle is the commander. The man on the far left is the pilot that circled my house last Saturday.

Excellent! Most cool! I bet all your webelos kids were thrilled beyond believe.

Hm... well, I've just increased my program's efficiency by an order of magnitude; it's gone from taking 7 hours to run to taking about 10 minutes. However I think I've got a program here that learns how to LOSE tic-tac-toe. Drat.

I know I'll never forget it.

I'm writing a thank you note to the commander and enclosing a HH Knife. He wouldn't accept one in person, said he didn't deserve one!!

Oh, and yesterday evening... four Black Hawks flew right over the house...one every ten minutes. It was great. None circled, but we waved nonetheless.
