Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Pass them by! Pass them by!
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! |

Here...read
this.This is the bayou I'm talking about, but the bridge does appear to have been replaced.
Scary.
In the second story, totally unrelated to what we're talking about, it mentions Sweeny Hospital. I used to work there.

I didn't think wine was allowed at Baptist weddings! I am not now, nor have I ever been a Baptist. ;-)
Now...how do those jokes go?
*****
The Jews don't recognize Christ as the Messiah.
The Protestants don't recognize the Pope.
And Baptists and Pentecostals don't recognize each other in the liquor store.
****
Then there was they guy who wanted to buy his sweetie some lingerie for Valentines Day. The clerk asked him.
"Would you like a Catholic, Presbyterian, Salvation Army or Baptist bra?"
The guy said "I had no idea there were so many kinds of bras, what's the difference?"
"The Catholic bra upholds the masses."
"The Presbyterian bra keeps things firm and strong."
"The Salvation Army bra lifts the fallen...."
"And the Baptist bra makes mountains out of molehills."
****
One more...
Why do you always take two Baptists when you go fishing?
Because if you take just one, he'll drink all the beer.
****
Thank you, thank you. We're here all week.

OK, two hours, or a little more would be fine. It's an hour and a half drive home, and we have to be back by 7:30pm. We'll make it!

Firm and strong. That's Presbyterians, all right!
Am finally home. Ugh, what a day. Now I'm having some taco glop... maybe I'll go read in a while.
I detect no sign of backgammon. Perhaps the Evil Plan has been delayed.

But alas, I must go. Steve will be home before I finish reading to the boys, so I'm gonna go ahead and log off.
Night all!

Nighty night, sis. Dream of solid roads with green grass on either side. Preferably on level with the road. ;-)

I believe the earliest days of backgammon are done in secret...
To: RMDupree
Former baptist? How do you do that? :-)
Rinse off in a pool full of sand?
[ducking] Ok.. ok... I'm sorry... just being playful.

Hmm... perhaps...
The best thing about Mondays is Tuesday. I'd almost like to go to bed now, but I need to do something to make this day feel worthwhile.
