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!

Four days, then a two-day break, then five additional days.

And I am so going on vacation to recuperate...in June (ShootMoot). Nothing like a little deferred satisfaction, eh?

I think I'll spare you the next picture down on that website ("No shirt, no shoes, no service").

Hosting...oy...

It would be way different if it wasn't Mom...I'm being graded for style, sticking the landing, degree of difficulty, etc. (Everyone involved would deny it of course...)

Evening g'nad - yup and if you think them are fun, I got a 40" piece of 2" D black iron 'cheater handle' to slip over the end. Torque city. Comes in handy elsewhere as well.

Dude...I want to be able to get up and nip out for the paper and sech without waking them and having to 'splain myself...and a couple of those days I'll actually be getting up to go to work, and I don't need a lot of "help" or "you should eat something" etc.

Anybody taught him "grandma got run over by the reindeer" yet? Most young 'uns can sing it back after hearing once or twice. :-)
