[HairOfTheDog]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

But not yet weary are our feet...

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!

Well if we're showing pics of our "children" ---

Here's my Boy...

Interesting! When did they come over?

BTW, speaking of Scots-Irish, I have a friend from Mississippi who's trying to trace his Scottish ancestors. Did you find anything helpful for tracing Scottish genealogy in the South?

[Fedora]

My Grandma used to have a kitty that looked just like that! :)

I had a burrito and a soft taco... mmm...

I actually didn't buy any books, only because I just placed an order at Amazon. So instead I browsed, flipped through one Ultimate Spiderman thing - only comic I could identify quickly enough to get away from the section.

I don't hang out much. Sometimes it's good to just sit and vegetate.

This Mexican place wasn't Taco Bell, was it? :) I usually get a Burrito Supreme with a bean burrito and a soft taco, with pintos & beans on the side--mmmm! :) If it's a real Mexican restaurant I'll usually get one of those really big burritos.

Yes, it is! I am thinking of sticking either a MST3K episode or a Godzilla movie in later for just that purpose :)

BTW, I was reading one of my Ultimate Spidermans yesterday, too :)

Thanks for posting the picture that g'nad sent. You did a great job on keeping the bow in the picture. Kewl.

I use Rootsweb for my name searches.

What I've learned is that most Scots in America immigrated from N. Ireland through Pennsylvania, then down to Virginia, the Carolinas and much of the South. Although there was a group of Highlanders that settled in N. Carolina, but unlike the lowlander Scots they tended to stick to themselves and didn't integrate much.

Your friend might want to check out electricscotland.com --there's a bit there about the American immigration of the Scots.

Taco Bell is ok, but no. It was a genuine restaurant, run by real Mexicans (we don't have many of those), but they do take-out. They use the tastiest cheese in their dishes. The beef is good but not spicy enough.

Spiderman, spiderman, does whatever a spider can...

Sorry I'm going backward on your questions. They got here between mid 17th--early 18th centuries.

Carne, papas, y queso. Yummy! (oh and poquito cebolla por favor!)

Glad we were able to get you added to the "rogue's gallery"! Almost everyone is now accounted for.

Congrats on your new arrival! What a precious face.

Taking a look at our pics from the rally... will get some uploaded and posted shortly.

Yo quiero un burrito! :)

'Bamma's leading Stanford by 7 with 30 seconds to go...

Heh, I just know the song. It's kind of one of those things young geeks are into singing. Like when we walk around quoting - "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die".
