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

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

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...Tam is trying to find a way to fit both his front end AND his back end into the thing.

It isn't working real well.

This is a crate he slept in when he was really little, but I put it up high and was using it for papers...just got it down as I've been clearing up. I think he's wondering why it shrank...

Good morning!

It's a beautiful day here. I almost feel human, though I'm not going to add much but a joyful noise to the singing this morning. I'm leaving in about fifteen minutes... don't suppose I'll be back until close to 2.

Which reminds me....perhaps Miss Cat would want me to get my laptop case out for her to sleep in again.

I just got my hair cut for the first time in AGES (well...August), so I feel human again, too. I've been too broke to do that, and my hair gets really horrid when it's long!

And I made brownies to bring out to the house. I'm such a nice sister. ;-)

Hope kitty's lump is benign.

One of ours is quite the timid soul. But given food, a radiator or open window (depending on the season) a litter box, brushing, and a bed, she is content. Yet for all that, she traveled well.

For the entire trip out to CO, there will be one of you available to tend to the cats if need be. It's not like you'll be driving alone, and have to stop if there's a problem.

What a nice letter. So it sounds like he's sending you a check for the value of the knives, so that the can't be considered a gift and he can keep them? He must like em a LOT!

Free to a good home (or for a GI goodie package): "Shrek 1" DVD 2-disk set special edition, and "The Pricess Bride" special edition. First person to freepmail me gets either or both.

There's a lot more to that, which g'nad can explain better than I can. Gen Sattler can at least be proud that he effectively paid for the ER knife we sent 1SG Kasal.

But yes, it seems he likes them, and it's pretty hard to impress a Lieutenant General.

Wanted to ping you guys to #4,588.

Jim, sometimes The Free Republic Hobbit Hole does things I think you might appreciate knowing.

Well, after many months of penny-pinching...we got to go out to eat CHINESE FOOD!! It was great, but the best part was a guy in the Navy sat down at the table next to us and got the buffet, ate it all by himself.

Needless to say, he was pleasantly surprised to find "someone" had picked up his bill.

:-)

"No one can stand up to, she who must be obeyed"

Is that a line from "Return of the King"...regarding Shelob????
