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

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! |

I've got some o' that, too...
*sigh* Music night done. They didn't notice the dogs were missing until time to leave, and I didn't give a full explanation...just said they'd been rehomed. So...guess my news is safe for now.
I just don't want everyone to know until the house is sold and I'm about ready to give notice.

So do people from work come for Music night or does news travel fast?
To: Corin Stormhands
Chicken soup. Lots of chicken soup.
To: Overtaxed
News travels fast. It's a small town.
And the drummer's wife works at the college.
At this point...I'd rather just family knew. Not even close friends, for the most part. It'll make it easier. Of course...when the house goes on the market, there will be questions from some, but I can still keep it quiet for a bit, I think...doesn't have to mean I'm leaving the area.

To: HairOfTheDog
Family knows! Just not everyone at church - and especially not at work. Not until a few more steps are safely behind me!

Oh - OK then I guess! - You had me worried there!
To: msdrby
Mmmmm, maybe so, maybe not. Oglethorpe in General James Oglethorpe, main stomping grounds down here on the southern coast of Georgia and the Carolina's as well - I think :\
To: Overtaxed; RosieCotton
Weren't none to be had in the house. Couldn't bear havin' wife go out to just get me some.
So I've got my toddy, and I'm gonna sleep downstairs tonite. I'm afraid to lie down.

Probably a good plan. Although your music people are lousy company not to notice the dogs' absence.
Remember, every day makes the Day of Going Forth a little closer... we need to give it a code name.

Chicken soup. Lots of chicken soup. And Whiskey. Lots of Whiskey. Scare it outta ya.
My fever remedy involves out-fevering the fever. Wool hat, wool neck scarf, two or three layers of long johns and sweats... and dare the little bugger to a heat contest. Oh? You want it hot? I got hot for yah... :-)

You can always say that the house is such an expense....true, isn't it?
To: JenB
They did notice before they left, though!
Day of Going Forth? Hm...what's a good Tolkien reference?
