The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Yeah, but what's the use of mountains if I'm too dead to see them?

I can't afford to buy flowers that often.

Ain't Mama the reason she wants to move?

I don't know if I'd go that but I AM gonna take away Nana's cell phone. She has yet to understand that when the other kids call we still have to pay the air time. They've been told to call on the home number, but they don't get it.

This is on top of the Mrs. losing her cell phone in Palm Springs. We've already been to Verizon since it's dying (she had hair spray leak on it in her purse). We didn't buy the insurance because we said "if Jr. loses his phone, he'll just do without."

But, once we put Jr. on the text message plan, he's been no problem.

~sigh~

It made sense when she was in the skilled nursing facilities. The first one (she was there twice) wasn't set up to allow patients to have phones in their rooms.

We just need to continue the re-education process.

Steve asked me what I wanted him to do. I told him I want him to take off early and take me to Peggs to see Carla Emery.

Then, just as I emailed it, I realized how unreasonable I'm being.

It's an hour's drive away, he's got work he needs to be doing on the paper, he shouldn't just take off early from work...our car would probably give up the ghost along the way.

My mom will never move. That much I've come to accept.

I just have to wait until the girls are bigger. Then, I can seriously think about relocation.
