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!

Well, there's a thought. But Hinky Eyebrow fits more with the other character names.

We'll see.

Maybe there could be a whole race of evil eyebrow aliens...

[SuziQ]

WooHoo! Are Ben and Ann expecting again?

[RosieCotton]

Yep!

[JenB]

One or two maybe. The ones that were appropriate. Some of them were not me though.

[JenB]

I'm wondering who the "will there be April Baby" keyword is referencing since it sure ain't talking about me...

[Corin Stormhands]

[JenB]

Izzat what you're wearing to the wedding?

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, maybe ~to~ the wedding.

~At~ the wedding is a different story...

[JenB]

I still think you won't be nearly the worst etiquette violator there.

[Corin Stormhands]

I love a challenge.

;-)

[Overtaxed]

Just make sure you're not wearing white shoes.

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, they won't be ~completely~ white...

[JenB]

Oh yeah, I'm wearing white after Labor Day. Guess I'm tacky ;-)

[TalonDJ]

Why white after labor-day tacky? Who comes up with this stuff? How else do you blend in during winter combat? sheesh...

[JenB]

I am not sure that winter camouflage was what they had in mind.

I am halfway done with the curtains! Yay me!

[Overtaxed]

People will talk. Guess you should have gone with the black wedding gown.

[JenB]

Oh, man....

Though one of my great-grandmother's superstitious wedding sayings was "marry in black, you'll wish it back". She had a lot of those. I don't know where they come from, who even would wear black to their own wedding?

My favorite of her sayings was "Change the name but not the letter, change for worse and not for better". Since I am changing my D for a J I guess it's ok.

[Overtaxed]

Well...for those eveing weddings...

Wearing black is better than wearing red. :)

[Overtaxed]

Umm...."evening" weddings.

[JenB]

I am still expecting some relative to show up in white!
