The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

Well, what he really needs is one of those portable carports so he can get the truck under cover.

I'd knock out the wall in the garage if it was my truck, but it's not.

We've talked about moving the wall. It's not load-bearing, so it could be done. But it's still a nontrivial operation.

Hmm... I wonder how you get one of those awning things...

Just got in from "Mom's Night Out"...it's where we all go out to eat once a month and socialize. (BA CHEF)

I had a great time and often sat back in amazement...remember when I thought there would just be a handful of us? Well, there was 12 ladies there tonight and this activity is usually a pretty low-attended event! We had a GREAT time!

This year is really going to be much busier than any year before that you've known me...I've got two kids to teach, a support group to encourage, a disaster team to join...and that's just me! Not including the jedis extra stuff. I can do it too...finally...now that Steve is home.

I've been running full speed since first thing this morning...I'm going to bed now. :-)

See ya!

That's pretty close to what he's got now.... only many years older and kinda rickety now.

Hah! I was just about to post that link. Would never get one in time, but that sort of thing would work well.

They sell them at places like Home Depot... and probably Sears... I'd think. maybe even boat and RV supply places. It's just a thought.

You don't suppose he really wants a nice big plasma TV do you? :-)

He hasn't mentioned it to me, no ;~D

I'm planning on bringing up Hitchhiker's Guide on Sunday.... thought it'd be a pretty good Dad and Dona movie...

Um... {sorry}... I already got HHGTTG. Bought it to watch on the plane on the way home. It was an impulse buy.

It would be watchable for Dona... I wonder if they'll 'get it'. Maybe... maybe not. It's worth a try. But it may be one those that if you haven't read the books it'll just be gobbledygook.
