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! |

It's coming right up!
We'd likely get there by the 10th, barring unforeseen delays. Especially if we traveled mostly at night. Then we could stick around a few days before heading to Washington.
Still in the planning stages, of course!

I think that's an overestimate of time, unless you're planning to make a lot of stops. Two long and a short day of travel should do it... it took me the equivalent of two full days coming out.

It takes a full day and a half to get from here to about Indiana, though. But I may still be overestimating. I kinda hope so! We'd stop as little as possible.

LOL
Ambulance just came and hauled my neighbor off. She's elderly and they come and get her periodically. I saw her, she was talking, so I'm not too worried.

Let's see... it took us about half a day to get to Indiana. So I think you're still a day overestimating.
Exciting!

The various map sites say it's just over thirty hours from here, if we don't hit traffic. Which...I'm figuring we COULD do it in three days, but likely we'll get there early in the morning of the fourth.
Have to figure out what we're doing as far as stopping along the way.

With two of you, just drive as long as you can... and the map sites go the exact speed limit. Five miles over, consistently, cuts a lot off a trip that long.
You might hit traffic around some of the cities but it shouldn't be too bad.

Happy Birthday Mr. Williams indeed.
Much more celebratory than what Stinky posted...

That's good to know!
We may be able to start a little later, then. Or else hang out in Fort Collins awhile longer before heading to Washington, which would be nice, too!

I'll bet you and Margaret would have fun hanging out a bit. Maybe she'd decide to relocate, too.
Ok. Preparing for arctic maneuvers. Gloves, check. Coat, check. Hood, check. Scarf, check.

I'm half thinking of trying for my Network+ cert before I leave. I mean...I have the books, I took the prep course, I could probably pass if I studied a bit. But...it's pricey. Granted, the college said they'd reimburse me if I pass the test, but passing the test and then giving notice two weeks later doesn't seem like good ethics to me.
Is it really enough of a resume boost to be worth trying to scrape up the cash?

Hah!! Well, I've never been married, but I guess it's pretty apparent.
