The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Heh heh...

Matthew got quite a kick out of your comments.

He hasn't had much interest in the car until lately...the evening we lifted it up off the chassis just blew him away. Really impressed him.

It does have quite a bit of rust, winmag, but you're right...it's got a lot of good metal too and is repairable.

I really love that car.

Hope you're feeling ok.

Weeeelllll....unfortunately...

Whatever it is hit me and the Mrs. about mignight last night. She's been downstairs and I've been upstairs. I'll spare you graphics, but let's just say the plumbing is getting a workout.

I've been mostly okay since about five.

Jr. was up and ready for school...but I just sent him back to bed.

Please pray that Nana doesn't get this. Because of the sores in her mouth (and we finally got the right treatment - maybe more later) she's hardly been eating for over a week. Just soft foods and liquids. As weak as she is, if she gets this and starts dehydrating we'd have to have her hospitalized.

Oh, dear. That sounds bad. Will do. I hope Nana's ok.

I also hope it clears up in less than the three weeks I've been sick.

Ugh - will pray Corin. Can you get her out of there for several days? It seems it's a foregone conclusion if she stays there.

Well...still think it beats having to be out until all hours!

But now I'm at work, I don't actually *start* real work until eight thirty, and there doesn't seem much point in going home.

Wish there were stores open at this time of the morning. Could run errands.

Wal-mart is open....

I got to work, did an hour, went and claimed the puppies, and took them home. Now I'm settling in for real. Poor puppies. They seemed to have taken their treatment pretty well.

Wal-mart is across town. And I don't do Wal-mart if I can help it. Actually haven't been since I've been here.

Fred Meyer is slightly less scary, but the one down the street is way bigger than the one I usually go to.

Guess I just read. Want to write and yet don't want to. For one thing, I spent a good portion of the weekend rewriting the first two chapters of my story, and then realized there's a way it could work well as originally written.

I haven't done any writing since November and I'm starting to feel the lack. There's just so many things I want to do... or need to do, like wash dishes... and so little time. Argh.

I enjoy writing if I sit down and do it. But more often I think "I really should do some writing this weekend" and then don't and feel guilty. ;-)

Or I go to the coffee shop and do almost more talking than writing.

Prayers up that Nana doesn't get it. It would be really tough on her. Might be a good idea to get some Pedialyte, if you can manage a trip to the store. If Nana does get this, it would give her some electrolytes if she could keep it down.

Can you get her out of there for several days?

There's really no where else for her to go. When we took this on, we knew that. We're just staying away from her, washing our hands and stuff like crazy. I'm not sure what else we could do.
