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!

I'm not really believing this was just another "oops."

Ah, family.

Oh - I'm talkin' - just mostly talking on a farrier forum about horse feet.

Sorry about the rental... What do you think the real reason is?

Money. We got a discount.

And another thing on the rental. At least she told us a lot sooner than when she did this to us last year.

IF we go back to the OBX, it'll cost us twice as much to rent from another owner.

Decision now has to be if we want to do something else for vacation. But we're partial to thebeach.

I'll post it (just a minute) but it will lose size and resolution n the process. YOu might rather I e-amil it to you (especially after you see it) b/c the "new and improved" version is the same size/res as your original.

To: no one in particular

The good: I got to get off an hour and some early today because I was in last night.

The bad: I have a baaad headache, so it's pretty much wasted time.

I did pick up some drugs on the way home, so hopefully with that and some rest, I can kick it. And as a bonus, the drugs just had a foil thing to punch open, not that horrible cotton. That stuff gives me the full body shivers trying to remove it.

You have neighbors who can remove cotton for you, you know...

Sorry about the headache. Take care of yourself out there.

It's almost big enough. Ocean-going vessels go through it all day.

And it won't sting your eyes, or make you retch if you accidentally swaller some.

Almost no sharks.

Likewise hurricanes.

IOW it's not a bug, it's a feature :)

I wonder how long I will have to live in the Midwest for the Great Lakes to be an acceptable ocean substitute?
