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! |
|

My priorities are on the bits that get Talon and me on our honeymoon as quickly and smoothly as possible. Everything else is icing on the cake. :-D

You know, I have another pair now, but I've never really been able to replace those.
Seems like that's a little informal for Jen's wedding. They need something more fallish.

Hi Corin - while Im not in the creationist camp I have heard of several HS curriculums that might have what you are looking for. Try A Beka, or Bob Jones University, or Sonlight. I am going with Sonlight for the coming year, cause Ive discovered I dont like having to design a new lesson for each day, nor does Erin take well with the directive "read this and then write an essay about it." WTM is a fabulous guide for a classical education, but unless you already know how to design daily lesson plans and whip up daily activities for weeks ahead of time, its easier to go with a company that has already got it done.
Well thats my soap box moment LOL.
hows everyone doing? We are in a kind of HS lull until we get her Stanford Achievement scores back. Ive been playing away in fanficdom, so my mind hasnt really been on politics so much, although I am trying to get back to updating Tributaries on a more regular basis. I just dont hve the fire to rant so much any more.

Did you ever check out
TRISMS? Some folks who are now using TRISMS for Middle and High School had formerly used Sonlight for the elementary grades.
Clare has enjoyed using it. It involves a lot of research, and though there is some writing involved in the Literature section, much of it is doing research to fill out questionaires about Civilizations, Art, Music and Architecture. The lesson plans are all laid out; that's why I liked it. I didn't have to re-invent the wheel.

The eating part is outdoors. The swearing and whatnot is indoors. I assume there will be colors some place...

Hi hun! How are you doin'? Havin a fun party?
To: HairOfTheDog; JenB; TalonDJ
Cake horror story, but it's okay since it was anniversary cake.
Wife and I had such a bad experience with Nana and Papa's 40th that we decided to plan ~and pay for~ their 50th reception and keep the siblings involvement to a minimum. It was simple. Just cake and punch.
We put her oldest sister in charge of the cakes because she had a friend who baked. We said okay, but no fancy decorations, just plain white icing. No writing.
There should have been enough cake to serve 100 people. But we got two small (compare to grocery story size) cakes that wouldn't cover half of that.
Then, the friend had called and asked for Nana and Papa's favorite scriptures. A nice sentiment, but not what we ordered.
Not only did the icing turn out garish blue on one and pink on the other. There were spelling mistakes.
Wife ended up buying more cake at Kroger.

There were spelling mistakes. It's not so bad when you cut it up.
"Blessed are the Greeks!"
To: HairOfTheDog
We cut the cake early on.
When Sister Mary Hamburner got her pictures back, we pulled those two out and tore them up.
It was a peacekeeping measure.
