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!

We've thought about that, but we insist she has her phone with her all the time. She didn't leave a message for me and she couldn't find Jr. on her phone list.

It's not the kind of thing one likes to leave a message about :~)

Oh we're not. She's still here by herself a lot during the day. And she's actually helping take care of Luke.

I'm falling asleep and I can't wake up.

g'nite

It's The Lord's Prayer, in Swahili.

Cool! They're getting some religion with their game playing!

They give you those little cups of beverages...

I think I'm gonna ask them just to bring me a bottle and leave it!

Poor Nana...she must have felt kind of embarrassed by the whole thing. That's tough.

Glad she's OK, though.

Well...at least he was trying to be nice...I guess...

Most of the time I've travelled I've been pretty lucky. There was the one time I was on a flight back from Germany and ended up next to a cranky divorced hippy chick who had just been to Ireland to a friend's wedding (a second or third, I think) and who was complaining because the Irish guys she'd met were total gentleman who didn't respond to her hitting on 'em.

*sigh*

That was...interesting.

Bless her heart! I'm glad she's ok, and that Luke was able to get help for her. It is disconcerting when you realize that she's to the point that she can't be left unattended for too long.

BTW, there's a place in town here called "Jamaica Me Tan" - I always thought that was a cool name for a tanning parlor :~)

I always thought that some sort of equestrian organization should be started, just so it could have a mailing address of Winney, Texas.

How you guys holding up over there? ;-) I'm thinking it's probably a good thing Ruthy hasn't yet brought more Pilon...that'd be torture without a 'spresso maker.

I'm on my third cup of cafe con leche.

I'd better quit. My fingers are trembling. :-D

In other news, Ramiusis very mean and won't let me have a dog.
