The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

Oh... you started? I love the FMwS soundtrack too... I told the sibs that Takuto is not Mitsuki's father, they were getting worried.

I'm being sent on a pizza run. See you shortly.

That sounds heavenly...

It is, and it's very 'Bourbony'. ;o)

Kewl. Will keep my peeled. :-)

I do appreciate your kind words, however, you found the proper materials, tools, and crafted the wood into the bow. Four shooters out of the starting gate is a remarkable accomplishment. You sure did your part.

My favorite Marx Bros movie, though, even over "Casablanca," is "Monkey Business," truly hilarious.

Many of the rest of them are a little too PC for me.

Hullo and re-Happy New Year! We are back from a quick and not too eventful journey.

I'm a bit tired as I did all the drivin', well except fer the part when wife went to see relatives/pick up Nana and the boys and I stayed at my moms.

Luke whined most of the four and a half hour trip back. Nana did some moanin' and groanin' but she got the message that "whiners will be spanked." She did okay, but the quick trip was hard on her.

My mom and step-dad are doing okay. He's recovering slowly from his surgery. But they're showing their age now. Granted it's time. But they've changed in the last year.

Sam - sorry we didn't connect whilst you were in Virginia.

Suzi - just exactly what ~is~ "mulled wine?" Don't know that I've ever had it. Naybers gave us a bottle of spiced wine last year. We're skeered to open it.

Hair/ecurbh - interesting shootin' pics. My brother-in-law mentioned going shootin' last week for the first time since his mom died. I've been hesitant to bring it up. But, he seems to have a healthy attitude. He doesn't blame the gun.

Rosie/OT - no diets until after Epiphany? Is that what it is? Did I make that law? Oops...'cause I'm startin' back Monday on South Beach. Actually lookin' forward to gettin' sugar back out of my system.

Did some garden readin' and plannin' today.

Also did some editing on my Nanowrimo book.

It's good to be home. I'm ready to pack away Christmas and get things back on schedule.

Glad you're home!

No diet for me until a week from tomorrow, when I get back. It's just no good here at home.

We had spam, but the point of the thread wasn't spam at least!
