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!

It's a big loss, isn't it? A shame. I think we'll still get to see him on TV, but it'll feel different.

In other news... our turkey is done :~)

Nothing to do but the fixin's now.

Sure :~) You can sit here and get impatient with me while we wait for fixin's :~)

I love this turkey on the BBQ thing... it doesn't take up the overn, it doesn't heat up the house, and it tastes really good :~)

Well, we're back...

Actually got home some time ago. Had a good day at the range, got some pictures. I'll take the camera into work so the smart guy can take the film thing out of it and put it on the computer. If the pics pass muster, I see if I can post them.

We all felt a nap was in order after lunch. We've spent some quality time de-burring gypsygirl's tail. She didn't care for it but didn't fight it. She's much better now, taking another nap in her doggy-bed.

Miss anything? I don't know. My attention has been spotty.
Everyone seems to be MIA this morning...

I'm here. Just was late this a.m. 'cause I forgot I had to go by DMV. Tags expired ~last month~.

It's raining here again. Still no Internet at home.

The story with my friend David continues to be a roller coaster ride. Regular Dr. came in Monday and said "I'm not ready to give up yet." I'm on the fringes of this, but it has to be hell for his wife and family.

Jr. and Luke are back-to-school. And that's a good thing.

Good morning Hobbit Hole!

Tuesday.... this is going to be a long week.

Corin, I'll keep praying about your friend David. That just seems so hard for his family. Is this Jr's last year of school?

Ungh...I really need to get plates here. Technically, my car is registered through November, but I'm sure there's some law that says you're really *supposed* to switch to a new state's plates if you work in a state for more than a few months.
