The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

Posted on 01/31/2004 9:52:08 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Oh dear. I think we may have to invest in some of these. Elf-boy might decide to be spiderboy for this.

Maybe there will be LOTR ones, too! He can be both!

We don't have any Orkos in our wall, but one time my brother dropped his Mr. T action figure down a hole in the wall, so we assume it's still in there, to be found by future archaeologists who will probably theorize that it was a religious artifact or something :)

Heh...yeah, I wonder a bit about any archeologists who work near the house I grew up in. We lost soooo many interesting things over the years. There was my brother's Boba Fett (sp?) that I put in a niche under a tree stump, and we never found it again. I don't think he's ever quite forgiven me for that... And countless other little action figures and such. Once they get under the leaves...hard to find 'em.

The Mr. T didn't talk, did it? Hm...that could be REALLY interesting. Might go forward in time and find that "I pity da foo..." means something profound in the language of the time.

My grandfather did ceramics, wood carving, metalwork, and painting as well as conte crayon, pastels, and making signs.

Wow! Sounds talented! I always found stuff like that more intimidating than drawing. I'd like to try it sometime, though.

Unfortunately, my talent is best in graphite pencil.

That's kind of how I feel about my drawing: I have a couple mediums I'm comfortable with but I wish I had a broader range so I could do some stuff I can't do with the range of tools I'm proficient in now. But I'm learning.

Cool!
Thanks!
I'm not good with pastels.
I cannot find the chalk like kind, the oil pastels always feel like you're pushing clay across the paper.

"Fifteen birds! In Five fir trees! Their feathers were fanned, In a Fiery breeze!"

Loved that one, even if it was too short..

Yep, that was another good one :) Then on the silly side there was Glenn Yarborough sounding like a goat when he sang "The Grea-a-a-a-test Adventure" :)

Indeed they do still make those, and spiderman vitamins too. elf-boy has had both types, and prefers the spiderman ones. (I always loved flintstones vitamins to be honest)

That would have been better sung by the guy who did Smaug's voice in my opinion.

I looked down at my belly, and saw baby kickin... that is the coolest thing to watch. Kinda reminds me of sigorney weaver in Alien.

I was 5 months pregnant with our first when we went to see Alien at the theater. I was fine until that thing burst out of John Hurt's chest and the baby jumped at the same time. I had to leave; couldn't stay for the rest of it. It was several years before I could watch the whole thing. Now it's one of my favorite sci-fi horror series. My favorite is Aliens; the characters are just so interesting!

If you weren't online typing as we speak, I would think my son is your reincarnation.

:-) Except he probably has cooler toys than I did :) When I was little the three toys I wanted most were probably a Batman utility belt, a Spiderman webshooter, and a light saber. They had versions of those when I was little, but they were lame compared to what kids have now. For instance our lightsabers were little colored tubes, the ones now are works of art. The LotR action figures they've got out now are also pretty neat. If I was his age I'd probably want those--actually I still want those, but that's beside the point :)

Hmm, he has a green light saber, wants dearly to have a webshooter, has an Eomer action figure.

LOL! No, this one didn't talk. But if he did his vocabulary would probably consist of, "I pity the fool!", "Sucker!", and "Turkey!"--LOL!

I also lost a boot from my Iron Man action figure under my Grandma's porch, so that's still down there somewhere. And once while playing in the backyard I discovered the shield from my Captain America action figure which I had lost years earlier. Probably some Star Wars stuff out there somewhere, too--I remember part of Luke's lightsaber snapped off in the sandbox somewhere :)

Yes he was.
Unfortunately, I do not have any of his ceramic work in my possession.
I have a few of his sketches, and one or three paintings.
And some stuff from my grandmother.
But the metal work, and the signs he painted I do not have any examples of, as for woodwork, I have 4 examples of it.
