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!

Hey!! Mine are complete sentences!

;-)

I have the cutest spring pants outfit that my neighbor gave me...but it was too short! I put on my capri pants, then pulled on these pants and Matthew took a pencil and drew a line where the capri pants ended! I cut the bottom of the pants off (leaving an inch for a hem) and I'm going to stitch them up into capris! Even got a little slit in the sides!

Hope they turn out ok...I'll wear 'em to ShootMoot! They are PINK i tell ya...PINK!!!! I don't mean a nice calm pink...I mean a 2J PINK!

LOL

They are just my style...my style being just about anything anybody gives me! LOL

Actually, the shoes I bought for Hair's wedding oughta go perfect with it. It's got a button up blouse with three-quarter length sleeves, but I think I would get a white tank worn top with the blouse left open.

Thank you. I've been in since 1972, and have a few more years to hit 55. I've been in the Civil Service since 1973 and hope to retire in '07 or so.

Yeah! It's HOT PINK! LOL

Maybe if the VW is too bad to be acceptable, I'll paint it this color?

Oh yeah, Steve would go for that.

NOT!

I hope it's green, that dark kinda green? In all the ones I've seen, that green paint seems to have held up well.

I don't know. I tell ya...he's hard to talk to sometimes. I was asking him all these questions, saying "Don't you know anything more about it?" and he'd say "No...no...that's all I know." Then a half hour later he blurts out something else the guy told him, like the bottom is rusted (common problem). So info comes out in bits and pieces.

One day, the Beetle will just be here, but it's no use asking any questions.

Drives me crazy.

He's the same way with school! I've had to let go of a lot of control issues with that, I tell ya! LOL

Hello!

Thanks for remembering my birthday everyone! :-D

I'm 32 today....well, officially at 1:34pm. *laughing*

Man, I wish I wasn't at work today. It's been crazy. Here's hoping I can sneak out early. *fingers crossed*

I tried signing on earlier and it seemed like FR was down for a bit. Was it just me?
