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!

That's so cool! I'll bet he'll be thrilled.

Amazon works the same way here - ship it Airborne, then have the post office deliver it. Maybe it'll come today...

Yeah, I think he'll be surprised.

He was not thrilled however that I said he couldn't go to the mall with his girlfriend today. It was already annoying enough that he wanted to meet her at the mall that's way on the other side of town.

But last night we called him to take the dog out for more than 15-20 minutes. Once it was too late and I got the dog set up on dialysis (I took him out, he was desperate), I told Jr. he could forget about the mall.

So many sad stories... Poor Sam pacing for want of a place to pee... young love facing the oppression of youth restrictions... You're breakin' my heart.

Good Morning All - watched the second disc last nite. Very well done indeed.
The 'vampires' been calling again, so we're heading - downtown - to the blood center. But will include a lunch and a stroll at the Plaza.

'gifts for a 16 yr old' I was pretty easy at that age. I wanted Red Dot Powder, Primers, No. 6 shot, plastic wads.

Overtaxed - get well, don't forget the old home remedy. T-T-B.

Corin - man, that really blows. Hope you get it soon.

Well, it just goes to show ya, if you procrastinate long enough you can take some things off your to do list.

Next door neighbor is hosting the last round of our Christmas Walk and is doing a coffee bar. She wanted to borrow our coffee cups (we bought about 100 at a rental store yard sale several years ago - for that same reason). But she found something else at Costco.

So, I don't have to go to the ~attic~ today after all.
