The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

if they're only paying me for twenty hours, I'm not working 24!

I take it you're not a salaried employee...

he said "so... I hear you want to shoot me"...

hehehe... Love that.

Some time back I told that story of when I came home to find the house burgled... and I overheard on the phone as the 911 operator talked to the Sheriff... saying: "oh, and be advised... homeowner is armed." Got a chuckle out of that.

Got lazy tonight and went out to eat chicken wings. Wings to Go had their's on sale half price. I got the "Suicide" wings, got the jedis just some plain hotwings.

I could feel them burning me clear down my esophogus and into my stomach. I'm gonna pay when I go to bed, I bet! Better take the Zantac now! LOL

Been helping the jedis tidy up their room extra neat...the little boy we took bowling last week is coming over tomorrow just to hang out. Thursdays are when his brother has to go in for treatment and he's left alone with the teenage sister!

I'm gonna order a pizza.

"oh, and be advised... homeowner is armed."

as it should be... that's why your house was burglarized... home invasion on an armed citizen such as yerself is suicide...

Ahhh....

How funny!! Seems like she took it well, though...which is fortunate. Some LEOs don't take much well t'all...

Like the one here in my town that shot the Golden Retriever that was tied up and then shot the finger at the local news reporters.

LOL!! I hope not! I really like 'em! They are the second hottest they make...the hottest is called "Homicide". The "Suicides" are my dizzy limit, I tell ya, though. I couldn't bear them hotter.

Steve took a whiff of them as his was coming to the table and gasped and coughed and his eyes watered. They mean business.

Matthew wanted to try one so I handed it to him and he went to put it to his mouth and the fumes literally took his breath away and he also gasped and handed it back to me.

Nope... was burgled while I was at werk. Came home to busted window in the front door. Stereo missing. Heard thumpy-bangs outside as soon as I got in the door.

Armed self. Called for backup. Cleared spaces. Dunno if the thumps were them or not, but never saw anybody. Tracks in the sand showed that ingress/egress was via the beach. Cops never called back, but a couple months later a group of local HS kids was busted in a real similar MO. Probly them.

I gotta tell you (cause you told me once you were kinda partial to Joshua)...

Tonight, when I was putting Joshua into bed, he had this "glow-stick" and was looking at it. I'd bought it for him so he'd get something when Matthew was getting presents, you know? Anyway, he finally broke it out this evening and was gazing at it glowing. He said "I like a lot of things about you, Mom...but mostly I like you 'cause you are so nice."

I nearly cried.
