The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Afternoon all. Busy day here running back and forth across the river. Tree is up, with the lights sorta on. Got one set not working. I'm hoping it's the extra bulb I found on the floor, but I've alread replaced one.

Sitting here at mic check for the show. I shoulda been up at 4:30. They're currently on the second scene. (I'm not miked until the second ACT)...

Oh well, it's typical.

And Virginia Tech beat Virginia 24-10.

Good afternoon. I'm not doing anything. It's snowing, mildly. A sleepy day, even if I should be doing studying or something.

Well, the kids and I are finally home.

PE left Thursday, while I stayed another day. Then, I lost my keys. We took my mother's house apart four times, drove to White Settlement and combed the front yard over there (we moved a desk from there to our house) and inspected the interior of the house. We called my Aunt Grace in Granbury, where we had Thanksgiving, and nothing. No one found even a single clue.

We looked at mother's again; nothing. I was grimly facing the reality of calling a locksmith. I decided that I had to stay another night (not really having a choice anyway). Then, this morning as I was putting away the bed-clothes, I asked my mother how long a certain pillow had been in the floor. ACK! I picked up the pillow and there were my keys!

I was beyond ready to go home and doing the 2J shimmy. It is the small things we often take for granted that we are the most thankful for.

Hmm, evidently, your name didn't make the ping. Sorry! I had a bit of a Corin adventure, but all is well that ends well.

Good Afternoon All; pleasant afternoon putting up the tree and its lights. 550 white mini-lights and 450 white rice lights. Untold number of clips. The tree fairly glows, it does.

All done to suitable musical accompaniment. FOTR.

Gypsygirl is a bit perplexed but appears to enjoy the new addition to the living room.

Congratulations! You'll post it, right?

I don't think mine is worth sharing, but I'd kinda like some feedback on Teresa's story, maybe. Might put that on my webspace when it's done and see if some people here could take a quick look.

It's almost seven...might go over to Wal-Mart in an hour or so. Even this time of year it isn't really crowded after eight.

I've gotten TWO emails this weekend, one from a "SunTrust Bank" asking for my credit card info and another from "The PayPal"...wanting my log in info.

Sigh...

How did it come to this?

Why did the horse scratch it's butt with it's teeth?

Because it could!
