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 quilt is beautiful!! Did your Mom make it for you?

[SuziQ]

it seems like his entire environmental department at school might be going to show up!

Will there be pictures? ;o)

[JenB]

Yes, she did! She's gotten back into quilting lately and is a quiltin' fiend.

[2Jedismom]

Well, I don't think I'm invited...so I won't be there to take pictures. Maybe somebody else will...I dunno.

I'll post them if I get any!

[Ramius]

Textbooks? I've got some. Maybe that would help. :-)

Or, maybe not.

[Overtaxed]

I'm looking around wondering what I can pawn for textbook money.

[JenB]

I haven't got a toaster!

Seriously, buying used I'm looking at close to $300 for two of my classes. I may be able to get copies of the texts for my third class off a friend.

[Overtaxed]

What a rip!

[JenB]

Absolutely... I am in series need of fellowship money that may or may not show up this month.

Or I could take up stripping. Or maybe let my parents get the idea that I'm taking up stripping...

[Overtaxed]

Ummmm....yeah....

[Ramius]

[post deleted after thinking better of it]. :-)

[RosieCotton]

It was too expensive. We had it as a treat sometimes, though!

[RosieCotton]

Oh, I like it! It's gorgeous! Nice pattern...

[Overtaxed]

Mmmmm......bacon....

If and when we have chat/view for ROTKEE, I think I'll pop some corn in bacon grease.

[SuziQ]

What a special gift! I never really got into quilting. Don't like getting stuck with pins! ;o)

[RosieCotton]

Mmmmm...bacon grease...

[JenB]

What? You don't think it would work? I could try, and not get hired, and then sue the company for a couple grand. That would take care of my problems.

[Overtaxed]

...and I can wash it down with 2J's cholesterol medicine. :)

[Overtaxed]

Well....I guess it would be less painful than spilling McDonald's coffee on yourself.

[JenB]

Heh, I don't think Mom gets stuck with pins... these days she mostly does machine quilting, which means a lot less sticking, and they look the same or better.
