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!

Very cool! I'd love to see the scans if you'd email 'em!

The scans are just 200dpi quickies of inkjet prints on photo paper. I emailed Captain W., and asked if he could email me the original images.

Meanwhile, I'll email you the jpegs of the scans I made.

I have to work on July 4, but there will be only two people on each shift. I'll decorate my semi-cubicle with the pictures and the flag, and have the other guy take a picture of me at my duty station. If it comes out good, I'll ask to have my Hobbit Hole photo updated.

Ours has the added benefit/disadvantage of being right next to Petsmart.

I like it!

Heh...though I admit, those hats with desert BDUs kinda crack me up.

I blurred the names on the certificate and uploaded it, because everyone should see this :~)

See post by Winmag with their group picture above!

I think the Stetsons are authorized for special occasions only. They certainly can't work with the Darth Vader helmets when they're out flying.

You may have noticed that I am finally getting caught up on forwarding requests to you... almost done now.

Now that my free time will be somewhat increased, I plan on getting caught up on updating the website too - adding testimonials, and perhaps fixing the photo gallery.

We'll send more $$ when we can.

Good for you!!What a yucky job!! At least you got it done before the heat of the day only because it going to get so much hotter.

OB has gone to shoot trap, or maybe, sporting clays, with some friends from work. Gave him a bottle of Gatorade and wished him luck. Think I'll read a little bit of the paper and then take a nap. I could always seal the new tile on the wall in the upstairs bathroom, rip up the floor in the downstairs bathroom, or, my never-ending favorite, iron. But, I think I'll just take a nap.

The gutter system hasn't been operating at top efficiency lately, so I figured I'd better clean 'em. 'Course, I wasn't inspired enough to clean off the roof at the same time. :)

I've got laundry going and am fixing to fire up the grill. The Cubs are going to try to play baseball in a few minutes so I'd better get the Turkey iced up.

Ain't that the truth--I've been filling up the bird baths 3 times a day, and watering like crazy, just trying to keep stuff alive. They are saying maybe storms tomorrow or Tuesday...
