The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

Just for the record... my HH knife (I have the serrated version) is still tight in all respects after many many hours of snap-click snap-clink practice.

If I send my HH knife back to you, can you pleasae give it the Loctite treatment?

Sure, freepmail me if you need my address. That goes for the rest of you folks, too.

BTW, do you have a contact for that family of patriots with three kids in the armed forces, and a vet father?

I did get your card! Thank you... very gracious of you.

BTW... Dad and D were both very impressed by all of the followup thankyou's by all the HH dwellers. You're a classy and gracious bunch, it would seem. :-)

Who'da thunk it? :-P

I had a good buddy who served on the Texas (the missile cruiser). Unfortunately, he and his family moved to Atlanta several years ago and we've drifted apart.

You know... I have a friend who's a nurse who would probably say you should get that looked at....

Oh wait... ~fret~

I haven't talked to that family yet. Also, it turns out my nephew wasn't in Germany all this time, he was at Ft. Hood! He's going to Germany in a couple of months, then likely to Afghanistan. I'll try to get all their info to you in the next month. I'll likely send it when I send you my knife.

Do we send knives to retired military, as well? My cousin retired a few years ago as, I think, a one star General. He was with the 3rd Armored Division in Gulf War 1, then was some high muckety muck with the Army in Berlin. He and his wife had to squire x42 and Her Heinous around the city when they came for a visit in the early 90's. UGH! He recently moved back to my hometown after his wife developed cancer. He lost her last year. I saw him at Mama's funeral.

I'll bet that buddy has a briefcase now with a "Don't Mess With Texas!" sticker on it. I'll bet that.
