The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Tomorrow we may come this way...
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! |

Heh, a classic indeed. One of my favorite Heinlein's and that's saying a lot. I especially love the bit about education at the beginning - I bet Heinlein would have liked homeschooling.

The main thing I'm concerned about is the cat. I guess I could always board him in Ft. Collins while we're at the wedding if I hadda.
Margaret really, really wanted to drive to the wedding to begin with, as you recall, and Dad vetoed it since it didn't make sense when it didn't save much over airfare. But if I'm headed that way anyway and really wanted another driver - I was hoping to have her along somehow - this WOULD make sense. It's just that...it's so soon!
But the main reason I was planning to stick around for awhile even if the house sold quickly was because I didn't think I'd be able to afford leaving without hanging out and saving up money. Now...well...I don't have that to worry about. I have enough for relocating.
But probably we should do some talkin' on the phone! There are some financial things to work out, if nothing else. I should send you my number.

I'm not watching the game...thinkin' about going out to the grocery store, that is, if it's open! Just came back from a little jog, no cars at all on the road, that was a pleasure. Who's winning?

How would Margaret get back? Though she's welcome to stick around for a few days.
Possibly we could talk Wednesday night - that's my first early evening this week.

She would fly back from Seattle after the wedding. If we did that. Like I said, the cat is my main concern in that. I don't wanna start that off on the wrong foot!
I'll FReepmail you my number - unless you'd rather I call you, which is fine, too!

I'll call you. It costs me the same to call as to recieve a call, so that makes the most sense.

5:30 Mass is usually packed to the gills! The church was about half full tonight. Father Paul gave a quick sermon, and we were out of there in less 45 mins, that that included the Blessing of the Throats!

I quit watching television some years ago, mainly because I got tired of Clinton's face suddenly appearing. But I found out what a delightful habit not watching TV is and haven't gone back.
I used to like I dream of Jeannie, though.

Watching this thing on the History Channel on the "Bible Code". Seems to me that, like the "prophecies" of Nostradamus, it would be worthwhile only if the code patterns could be decoded
before the events/people/etc. came to pass. Figuring it out after the fact doesn't help, especially if you find it
because you're looking for it.The kind of Biblical prophecy I believe in points, or pointed as in the Messianic prophecies, to events and people so far in advance and so clearly that, as people in the time of Christ knew he fulfilled them, so we will know if the prophecies of times to come begin to be fulfilled in our time.
Just my opinion...
