The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Through shadows to the edge of night
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! |

Is the IKEA table, counter height, 36"? I like that height, or maybe 34", it is so easy to work on cause I don't have to strain my back!

Best of luck finding something. Are you going to try to buy a place, or find another place to rent?
Paul is going to have to find something before he moves back the first of August, cause we may not still be here. He's thinking he might buy a multi-family place so he can have his own apartment, and rent out the other part to his friends. Two of them will be leaving their place in the late summer, and another is moving back to the area. They enjoy spending time together, but this way, Paul can have his own place and not have to share it!

Ahhh, that was a classic funkle, Suzi!
Your #1 son isn't going to think you've abandoned him when you flee south, is he? Not that it matters so much these days I guess (says the girl who moved 1500 miles from home).

Nah, he's fine with it. He's beginning to think in terms of being able to set it up to do the same thing later on in his life.
We can always come up and visit him, if we feel the need for some cold weather in the winter, or he can visit us if he wants to visit the sun and sand! Clare is already planning to fly up to stay with him during the weekend of AnimeBoston 2007!

Heh, nice! And maybe he'll enjoy being really on his own! One of these days he'll have to meet a nice girl and settle down, after all...

*will the last dwarf living on the east coast please turn out the lights* It may be the time for all hobbits to trek to the Grey Havens and sail into the west.

Yeah...my first company. ;-)
We went out to Shari's (?) for dinner and then came back here to talk and play Rummikub for a bit. Nice little visit. Now that they have a car, we'll have to do stuff like that more often.
Now it's late...gonna sleep in tomorrow, I guess.
To: RosieCotton
So you're already all done with the first job? You have the rest of the week off? Cool!

No - no rest of the week off. But usually I get up at six thirty or so, even though I don't have to work until nine. I don't think that's going to happen tomorrow.
To: Corin Stormhands; All
Wish they would have one of those around here. I've been thinking of renting a monster plasma or something to have some local fans (who are relatives and friends for an EE marathon.
Good morning!

It's a kitchen island 35 3/8" high. I added a table top for when I need more surface space (it's removable and can be put away when not needed) that adds another 1 3/8". So all told it's close to 37" high. Poifect.
