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!

Hey! You're supposed to be a good example, you teach Sunday School, don't you? ;-)

Yep, which is why I know that "hoe" searching isn't a good thing. ;^)

*sigh* Still haven't heard anything from that family, but I haven't had time to persue it yet anyway, what with Ben being here. But I'm also realizing that's our busiest month, and I haven't had the courage to ask that might be OK to take off...

Logically...I'm thinking I should probably plan on flying out later. I mean...surely if I really keep an eye out and save my pennies, there may be an opportunity?

It's not toally ruled out, mind you...but I'm not sure it's gonna happen.

At the beach house before we fixed the water problem there, we had a water service, Culligan, that would deliver water every week and they gave us the dispenser stand to put it on.

Heh...they have commercials for Culligan on the radio here. I find them refreshingly un-PC. "Hey, Mr. Culligan man!" As if women would certainly not be delivering heavy water bottles...

Just for that reason, I'd be interested. ;-)

I'd love to have you sooner, but any time you want to come, I'll be thrilled to see you.

Are you going to Colorado? Is that where your graduate school is? I think I missed this particular mini-drama.

I'll do my best to get there ASAP!

But if I came later, I might be able to stay longer, since I could fly and not have to figure in a lot of travel time. So there's that.

Yes, I'm studying at Colorado State University, in Fort Collins.

See what happens when you leave the thread for weeks at a time?

What day do you plan to get to Ft. Collins? I plan to be in Colorado Springs in 2 weeks.

Is that someone I'm supposed to recognize, or just a muscled dude?

Moving in July 31st. I'd love to get together - do you have any time after, say, Monday the 2nd? The first two days, while the parents are still with me, are going to be very busy with move-in stuff.
