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

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!

Very cool 2J! I bet you are just beside yourself and your boys are thrilled to get such a letter.

We are off to town for some quick errands before we come back and ecurbh and I can ride!

Now if only they would fly over with Steve home!!

He's been up more today than he was yesterday...helping me clean up after lunch and stuff...but his foot is positively purple on the side of it and still twice the normal size.

I've been sneak freepin' and now he's back in bed. (If he stays laying down, the blood doesn't collect in that foot and it doesn't hurt him as bad.)

Thanks ecurbh, for posting the letter!!

2J, I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes thinking about, and praying for, all those who are represented by this fine soldier, and who have stepped up and taken responsibility for protecting all of us here at home!!

Is this the model made by the Estes company? I saw someone holding one up the other day when I was watching the launch of the second leg of the prize flight.

I know what you mean!! I get emotional when they fly over! When I come in here and post that they've circled the house...I've cried every time.

I haven't seen the Estes version. This particular model is made from card stock. You print the pieces on card stock from an Acrobat file. The finished model looked pretty cool.
