The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

Hope you don't have to cut up your whole plant!

I've got zucchini blossoms that are getting ready to open...might open today.

It's supposed to be hot for the next few days and I need to water everything. Think I'll water well and put down the leaf mulch.

Good morning folks!

I need to change the flag on my profile. :-)

Sorry we didn't check in yesterday, but as soon as we got home we plunged into the "To Do List".

Ramius actually built the bunk beds, despite how exhausted he must have felt. He's my hero!

I've got all of the suitcases unpacked and clothes put up, but there are over 80 boxes in this house that need unpacking. Yikes!

But I'm so stinkin' happy to finally be here with Ramius that even that doesn't seem too intimidating. ;-)

Pictures later....

Becky just ~loves~ this house. :-)

Both XGI and Corin made us new thread pictures yesterday! I said to give us an image of 'moving to new home by air' and Corin gave us a Gandalf riding the eagle, and XGI gives us a DC-3 :~)

I'm going to put XGI's in there for now, I like the welcome home banner :~D

will get a POC...Please do. Often a sergeant major or gunney will have needs/wishes for gear other than knives for his troops. Xenon-lamp flashlights seem to be "big" now (they're small lights with a big light), and I may have a source of good ones (we'll never send junk) for $20, rather than $36.

Oh, and those 80 cent plastic safety carabiners are big hits, with troops even asking for extras. We send out two with each sheath knife.

~snif~ What a sweet thing to do!!

We'll have pics up later. Right now, we're trying to put together the coffee table. ;-)

We need to make a run to Fred Meyer later, but when we get back, I'll get to uploading. Gives us a chance to take more pics to add to the ones we took on the plane.

Which reminds me, I cannot say enough about how well the girls behaved on the planes. God really had a hand in it. No other explanation. :-)

I'm making an F Cake!

Today is Matthew's last day of his Latina Christiana II. He starts high school Latin in the Fall.

Henle.

I've still got your LC I! I swear I'll get it mailed to you soon! I've got it all boxed up, addressed and everything! Ugh!

Cake turned out great! I fixed it in the old 1970s Bundt pan my mother gave me. I sprayed the pan with that cooking spray with flour in it...it just slipped out of the pan!

No hurry on it. Clare will be taking Elementary Latin at Ave Maria in the Fall, but I have no idea what books they'll be using. She got her preliminary schedule, and they accepted the credits from her Math courses at the Community College, so she'll be going right into Calculus!
