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! |

The bathroom scale is creeping up at an alarming rate!Ruh Roh, you, too?
Was the 'rejecter' the person to whom you gave the fudge and she put it in the lounge for everyone else? She didn't like it? Silly wabbit!

I'm guessing someone of us will get it for Christmas...but I don't want to wait that long to see it for the first time!
Hence the rental idea.

Ok.
Fudge Story.
My Dad made fudge for family and friends at Christmas every year of my life. There are a lot of wonderful childhood memories that surround the fudge making. My brother and I would always jostle for position to scrape the pan... who gets to scrape the spoon... who gets to scrape the marshmallow cream jar, etc. Everybody we loved got fudge and everybody loved the fudge.
Well, now that he's gone I realized that there would be a big void in our Christmas celebrations without that fudge. So I decided to take on the mantle and make it.
One pan of fudge went to a couple I work with. They live just down the road and have been very good to me this last year. So I deliver the fudge and tell the story of our Family Fudge Tradition. They thank me and I feel all warm and fuzy inside.
That was last Sunday.
The following Friday I find myself in our organization's other building for a meeting. I had to run down to the break room to staple a couple of papers and lo' and behold guess what's sitting on the counter for everyone to nibble on? My pan of fudge! They GAVE IT AWAY at work. And they put it in the building where they knew I probably wouldn't see it ('cuz I'm rarely over there).
It really hurt my feelings.
They're not getting fudge next year.
Maybe a fuitcake.

I dunno...I wonder if they did it out of spite. I mean...if I didn't have family locally, I probably WOULD put fudge out to be shared, just because even though I love it, it'd be more than enough for one person.
But the other building thing is a bit odd, I guess!
Fruitcake, huh? You're evil...I like that about ya...

It's an 8x8 pan so it's way too much for one person, but they have tons of family to share with. And they're *not* on diets. And they're *not* healthy eaters.
I dunno. I don't think they meant to be rude. Scientists and Engineers are often oblivious to things like etiquette.

Heh heh! When we had the "Two Pumpkin Pies for Two Dead Guys" party, Steve took the extra pie to work and shared with his co-workers the pie and the story. Some people were appalled. Heh heh!

I was ~just~ getting around to loading some! I don't ~think~ she'll mind :~D When she was still in labor, she was growling that I only wanted pictures to post on the internet. I said "I won't post any grimacing pictures... those are for you".
To: HairOfTheDog
What a beautiful baby! Kudos to her parents!
