The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 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!

I mowed too. It has been a week and the grass was really, really tall. And now it’s done for the weekend!

In the "we'll take good news when we can get it" category, my stepfather did not have a heart attack. They think it's the adustment with his meds.

Nana has been asking Not Valerie if she can "go." V gave her permission. Nana has also been saying "I'm coming Jesus" and singing an old hymn "I'm bound for the promise land." Mrs. says Nana will be disappointed if she's here next week.

:-)

Good news about your step-father. I’ll keep Nana, and y’all, in my prayers.

The cartoonist is a flaming liberal, but, just like the blind squirrel, he sometimes hits on something:

zzzzzz....Corin needs more sleep...

I’m stamping some envelopes. I’ve managed ~twice~ now to go through the stack and put the address labels where the stamp should be. Third time, I put the stamps on first.

Are all Nana’s kids going to be able to come out?

I know it’s been a long road for you. Sounds like it’s been long for Nana to. If this is the end I pray it’s a good one.

Yeah, the two older sisters are on their way up this morning and her brother will be here sometime.

Just talked to the Mrs. Nana had a rough night, but is resting this morning. But she’s as ready as anyone can be.

At one point last night she looked at the Mrs. and said, “Well, I just need to go on so you can go to bed.”

:-)

Honey just told me he’d tell me to hurry up because he’s got to go feed horses. :~)

At least I don’t have to worry about them. :~)

Aw, geez...if that don't break your heart...

Thinking about you today, Corin - the Mrs. in particular. It's rough it being so close to Mother's Day. :-\ That would be on my mind, for sure.

I'd say that was a hoax, because not even my clients can be that stupid. (probably)

Up. Down. Up. Down.

Mrs. called around 10 and asked if Jr. and I could come over because Nana was asking for people. So we did. When I got there I thought we’d be there for the duration...so to speak. But before we left she’d rallied and was having conversations and laughing and talking about getting back to church.

I can’t see it being a complete comeback though. But I’ve been wrong before.
