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, Well 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! |

Let's hope so.
If a hurricane's coming my way, I ain't waiting for some politician to tell me to get out.
To: RosieCotton
Nah, anybody in LA with a TV has known for a while about this storm. They can't really blame it on Blanc-mind if they didn't know about it.

I'm glad the doc was able to do the scope. That 5 inch cut through half the abdominal muscles did sound fun. I had bilateral hernis repair in 1991. The limited amount of tissue cut there was bad enough.

Most definitely, recovery from the laproscopy is much quicker. Although, in my case, I have had to adjust my diet quite a lot to cut out greasy foods. Can't eat most fast-food burgers anymore....

I assume pretty well everyone knows about it...I just wonder if some are waiting for the official word before actually evacuating.
If it were me, I'da been gone a long time ago...but...

Haven't seen one of them, that would be handy, especially for the limited production or 'older' recordings. I actually plan on getting a few dvds of some of our favorite movies, the tapes are getting a bit worn.

They're not outta the woods yet, but at least they're above sea level. A foot or two.

I used to teach Shurley. I do not recommend it for only one or two students. For a classroom, it's great. It's fun, engaging, on topic and age appropriate, and it covers all the learning styles.
I am using a program (I just got home form a seminar on it) called Spell to Write and Read. While it is not specifically a creative writing/grammar program, there is a program that meshes very well with this at about the third grade and up called IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing). Writing Strands is also good for middle school ages.
To: Alkhin; Peanut Gallery
Clare likes Institute for Excellence in Writing. TRISMS has incorporated it into their curriculum It would be great for Erin to start this at the beginning of her middle school years. The whole IEW program, lessons and Seminar CDs costs about $150, but it would last her all the way through high school.

I really didn't think it got that warm.The last couple of years have seen really warm temps in the Gulf. It's usually about 86-90 degrees this time of year.

A pretty good little turntable that can be plugged into a stereo or into your computer sound card (for digitizing your records) runs under $100. Try Radio Shack or Circuit City...I got mine at CC.
