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!

We bought a Cuisinart coffee maker at the missions auction last year. It would grind and make the coffee on a timer. Probably about $100 new. We spent more since it was at the auction.

In theory we loved it. But about half the time the tray with the filter would pop out. We'd end up with grounds in the coffee, or once or twice, all the coffee on the floor.

When it did that the first time on thenewfloor, we chucked it.

So we're just using a cheap one that we bought last summer for the apartment in Kentucky.

This is the one we have. It also comes in black. Interestingly, there is another, made by the same company, which looks identical except that it has a thermal carafe.

Oh, man...

"Fragile... must be Italian."

[HairOfTheDog]

The guy that called at noon who had seen Homer was about 1 mile away. He didn't restrain him, he let him go.

We just got another call and went and got him over 4 miles away, on Kirsop Road (where Sonya's folks live)

The $%&#%! dog is a R U N N E R

[RMDupree]

Are you kidding me?

Sheesh. Put him in time-out. And no treats, no matter how cute that begging thing is!

[HairOfTheDog]

He's acting extra super pathetic.
