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!

See #941.

Funny thing is, whilst we were gone, Sister Mary Hamburner and Sister-who-lives-across-town-but-never-visits decided it was time to talk to Nana about assisted living or a nursing home. Plus they wanted to make sure she had her funeral arrangements taken care of.

As if they'll actually do anything when the time comes...

That said, I was carrying my gym bag and a load of laundry when I went upstairs. I wouldn't have even known she was in there if she hadn't said "oh, excuse me." I didn't ~see~ her there. But she's done this before and Luke has fussed at her.

I swear, it's like having another child.

I laugh just picturing how difficult ~you~ are going to be when you get to Nana's stage :~D

Door open will be the least of it. :~D

Jr. has explicit instructions to take me out back and shoot me. He's contemplating the firearm of choice.

Heh...wife keeps asking me how to contact you guys in case something ~happens~ to me.

It's not that I don't trust her...but I figger I'm safer if she don't know.

I'll write to her if you disappear. She'll know it's me because I still won't have her name right :~)

At least you get to wear a cool hat!

Morning!

I dunno, but it still annoys me to see men not take their baseball caps off inside.

eh, maybe annoy isn't the right word. But it shows a definite lack of class. All I can do about it tho is make sure my boys know better...at least when they're with me. ;-)

I'm a fairly informal person, so that doesn't really bug me. I think I'd notice the breach of etiquette at a nice restaurant or at Thanksgiving dinner, but I don't think I'd notice it was wrong to leave a baseball cap on inside at McDonalds or the feed store. Sometimes the hat is less offensive than the sweaty hat hair, you know :~D
