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!

dude... what'd you do?...

All I can figger is that over the course of the last two years I reached a certain donor level.

But I'm a realist here. And I've done campaigns. I once sent out 35,000 "hand written" letters from a candidate's wife.

Still, it's nice to be on the list...

We still might have to help some of the others across... it's not an obstacle for the timid.

Finished, we hope, with the last of the Christmas errands. All food related. Got booze, too.

Evening...

Cleaning binge here. If all goes well Mom and Sis should arrive tomorrow. I'm no slob but find it adviseable to move my Friday evening clean-up up a day, and take special care in the odd corners.

Especially in my room, which with its attached 3/4 bath will become the "guest room" for the duration. My old air mattress has come out of storage, and I'll use the living room floor.

Oy.

Apparently we're doing movies and margaritas tonight. Hopefully. If the parents come back from the margarita mix quest.
