The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

Hey folks! Got the house shuttered up and left. I'm staying at my sister in law's beach house near St. Augustine (north of Melbourne). My paranoid self can't handle storm stress! Hopefully we are all in good shape when I get back. It was either come here or get my husband to strap me to the bed and sedate me...Hmmm...

Evening Ruthy - something else to consider with Glen's foot. LSA was helping me during the first porch rebuild. I guess in the late 70's. She was wearing heavy tennis shoes at the time. I was pulling nails from boards, they are often resuable, boards and nails :-). I flipped one over to drive the nails through and LSA remarked, "I'll Help" and before you could say NAIL, she stepped down on a 16 penny nail that was at the other end of the board. We did the home first aid, she and I both had current tetanus shots but later a big piece of the rubber sole oozed its way from the hole in her foot. She picked it out and replaced the bandaid. There may be flip flop sole in the wound, which should be removed if he can. BTW, LSA is a trooper, we still finished up later that night.

Cell phone is charged!

We also have little portable TVs so we can still watch the news while the storm is going on.

And if anyone is diong any drinking, please have a few for me! I'd have one myself, but I'd better keep my wits about me tonight. *grin*

trini - I just ~knew~ you'd run for cover, chica! LOL!!

Yikes!

I think I'll give him a call and tell him LSA's tale.

Although I don't think it'll motivate him to go. He despises hospitals.

I don't know, Trini. With the path shown for Wilma, y'all may get more there than you would have in Miami!
