The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 10/05/2004 3:33:41 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner there may wait...

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!

Makes sense, just sounds like a major 'bummer' on first read through.

I imagine it's a full-time job trying to keep up with all the major news every day. I can't even keep up just trying to read it, let alone comment on it!

We're home from the ARNG! It was great...like a dream come true for all those boys.

My camera ran out of juice, but Celeste took some pics and I'll post them as soon as I get them.

I gave away 2 knives. One to the man who invited us, one to one of the pilots that has actually flown over my house and seen me. I've got another to give to the commander, but he wouldn't take it. I'm gonna send it to him anyways with my thank you note.

Gotta go, before Steve catches me sneak freepin'.

That would be the plan.

No, I rather dislike football and I really dislike drunk football fans....

(Cheers and applause)And it gets in the way of the "good stuff" on TV. Insofar as there is any :)

Sounds about right...

I think this is the night to break out the vodka and make lemon drops.

That's the thing. And with only having "enough" time to update it once a week, I was always behind in the game.

A vodka lemon drop sounds like a good thing to me right now...I think I got Corin's illness. You know that tightness I've been complaining about in my chest? I thought it was a combination of too much coffee and nerves. Well, it's gone but it settled in my lower throat...I've got a cough and it hurts to swallow and I've got chills.

Sigh.

Oh well, I have a couple of jedis that after tonight think I'm the greatest mom that ever walked this Earth...

:-)

Jen knows about lemon drops? Well... I'll be... dang, girl, those things can be dangerous if not handled properly. Right up there with the best of camping jungle drinks: the "skipandgonaked".

That was a cool trip today, 2J. Glad it went well and the boys had a great time. They'll be talking about this still when they're in their forties. :-)

I make half-strength lemon drops. And only have one of 'em. But man, those things are good.

Yup, my mom taught me how to make them. It's the only mixed drink I can make, unless you count margaritas, with one of those frozen, just-add-tequila mixes.

Evenin' Corin, glad to hear the medics didn't throw your recalciterant dwarven posterior in the hospital. :-)
What the doc reallly said was" hmm, he's still with us, he'll probably last long enough to sell the other kidney. That will probably bring enough to treat him".

Seriously, don't mess around with it and get well.
