The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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!

You know, I just realized...I've got a couple of rounds of Cougar Gold in the fridge. Think any of these outlanders ever had anything like Cougar Gold?

You guys better ride with us. Wife will have the Explorer, if you wanna go on Thursday. We could do mid-day on Friday also. What time you arriving on Thursday? That might tell the tale. Daylight is looooong now -- light until 10 p.m. So we could do plenty on Thursday evening.

Can't explain it, but I like 'em 'bout as much as steak!

I 'spect you've never had Copper River Salmon bbq'd on a cedar or alder plank?

You'd not much worry about a burger or steak again.

Well, I'm really looking forward to it...I just can't believe our Hobbit Hole is having a wedding!!

I'm wiped out. I had a really hard and stressful day. I'm gonna take my bath and go to BED!

Good night all!

The souvenirs that you need are "Tides Tavern" gear. T-shirts, hats, tank tops, whatever...

There is a theory that sooner or later *everyone* on the planet visits the Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor.

I make a habit of wearing my Tides wardrobe when I travel. Without fail... I'll be in some obscure place far removed from Gig Harbor... (like Reagan National in DC) and somebody will come up to me and say "Hey! Tides Tavern! I've been there!". It happens all the time.

In fact... on my most recent flight back from SFO in May... I was wearing my Tides vest, and discovered that one of the flight attendants was from GH. I got all my beers for free. :-)

Oh, heck, you won't get here (through the airport and all) until around 4 anyway. Let's just go out that evening after you settle in. Meet around 6:30 at E-9. Or Ramius could come here to my place if he's taking the day off, 'for we head out. He knows the way.

LOL... Remember, you're saying that to a girl born and bred in ranch country. Might be tough to beat what I've grown up on! :-D

Gees! That's like traveling with Benny! I have never ever been on a trip with him that we didn't have someone come up to him that knew him! I mean, we used to travel often to different states on bike trips. People walk up to him in gas stations, restaurants, Harley shops - everywhere! "Hi, aren't you Benny ******?" It is just freakin' weird!

That would be good. I know that Chad is not working Thursday so it will work nicely for him too. :-)
