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!

Maybe that's how these people make their money. No one ever wants to go, but they will buy passes for other people to go as a present... and no one ever shows up. :~D

Yeah, St. John's lets the boys have some leeway as long as they have a sport coat and tie and Dockers type slacks. There's a lot of room for interpretation there.

Want me to check out the Chico's and Coldwater Creek sites and make some suggestions? ;o) I can't wear them, yet, but I could help choose something that I think might look nice for you. Then you could call the store to see if it's on sale. ;o)

She's got a lot better taste in footwear (and other clothing) than I had at her age.

I thought it was quite possible some of you would say that we should just go, that it will be a wonderful experience we'd cherish.

I wanted to dress myself. I wasn't very good at it.

The socks are an especially nice touch.

Well, the socks do match the shirt. So at least you were color coordinated.

No, seriously, those are Green Bay Packer colors... green jersey, gold pants, white socks with green stripes.

My grad school colors :-)

My high school was sort of colorless, after all.

Last night.

Taken a couple of weeks ago. My dad's wife got the outfit in Chinatown in SF last Spring.
