The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Squirrels run faster when they hear you rev the engine.

Rosie will just have to go 'vroom, vroom', as she's riding down that particular bit of path! ;o)

Dad came through the surgery just fine. No complications whatsoever. It was more extensive than they thought, but still think it was contained. Did a lot of biopsies of surrounding tissue to make sure.

Everything is going just fine here...Mom has been at the hospital since early this morning. Steve got here right before lunch and is now taking a nap. I’m fixin’ to take the boys and go to the store.

Talon likes to make barking noises at squirrels or bunnies and things when we ride past ‘em. It tends to send them scampering.

I’m finding things here and there pertaining to Star Wars, and I can send them to Luke, if you like. Does he only like the stuff for the original movies, or did he also like the newer three? I have some stuff from ‘Phantom Menace’.

Oh, he loves them all. But don’t go to any trouble. He’s certainly got plenty of stuff already.

Well, I found a cool book last night that I’d bought for Joseph way back when. It’s “The making of Episode I The Phantom Menace”. It might be a little over Luke’s reading abilities right now, but it would be a great way to keep him interested so he can work himself up into it! I’ll drop it in the mail sometime in the next few days.

There’s no reason you couldn’t still do it...

I enjoy doing childish things all the time. Sometimes it’s even intentional. :-)

Oh, yeah, put cards in the spokes and you were cool! When our kids were small, I found some spoke covers in wild colors that were fun to see on the bikes, too. Well, at least Clare liked them. The boys wouldn’t get anywhere near them! ;o)
