The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Yeah - I'd hate the birthday at Christmas thing as a kid, though...

Got this nice freepmail from tongue-tied, who keeps FA-18 SuperHornets flying, yesterday:

--------------

I received both knives today when I got back from [redacted]. That is one outstanding little tool! I will give my son his when I go home this evening, but I wanted to immediately drop you a line and say thanks, again. (I have a lot of jealous pilots and Chiefs checking it out. LOL)

You sir, and your group, are certainly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to do this for the troops. I can't really call myself a troop, I USED to work for a living, but now its pretty much all paperwork for me.

I miss working the flight deck, in a bad way. My favorite days were when it was raining steadily and we were launching back to back short cycles, staying up there all day. I sure used to sleep well at night. But I also realize that at 45, I couldn't keep up with the kids any more. At any rate, even this old "troop" appreciates the generosity!

I'm going to bake that apple pie and maybe start the dough for the rolls...probably won't head out to the house until afternoon.

For me, that was! Past eight!

Trade-off is that I wilt after ten in the evening, unless I really, really work up to it.

Showered, dressed, ready to start cuttin' apples. I found a nice dutch apple pie recipe that I have all the stuff to make...

Corin, I'd swear that pilgrim is you! Is that Luke? He's sure grown up in the life of this thread!
