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

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

Well, we had fallen away from checking very often because there has been a disappointingly low level of news and spoilers coming out!

Thanks for the tip, we're watchin' now!

LOL!! True! Or go during summer vacation. (We get summer vacation using BJ...they don't broadcast regular classes during the summer. We also get a two week Christmas vacation...the jedis are already looking forward to that!)

I'd rather take my family than go alone.

I know you're jokin'...but one of my favorite books growing up was a book (I think it was actually a text book!) called Runaway Home. It was about a family that goes on the road in a little camper and travels all around the country doing odd jobs to finance their travel, and learns all about the different states as they go. It was great!

I found a picture! From the 60s, I think it was.

I can't seem to find an ISBN. Ugh!

Did find it out was from the 40s, so older than I thought.

No wonder they're hard to find!

And apparently they went from Maine to Washington...so almost the same path we'll take if we do go!

My local library system doesn't have it either...

I'll ask them to do an interlibrary loan...see if I can get it that way.

Joshua LOVED A Wrinkle in Time...really got in to that book. It's so different from the Hardy Boys and really grabbed his attention.

As I said...it was a text book. So I don't know how available it would be.

Yeah, it's liable to be hard...but I've gotten textbooks from the library before...one came from a library at Southern Methodist University in Texas...I think it was a vet book about chickens.

Saturday evening we put up the gate at the top of the stairs anticipating this event. We expected it, but I am still surprised to actually see her crawling around.

LOL! My grandmother actually tied my dad to a tree... I wonder if he was a bit of a handful?

Bittygirl says forget this crawling thing. I want to WALK. She has been pulling herself up on furniture and has a funny bottoms up crawl that she does. Standing her her absolute *favorite* thing in the world to do.

Oh dear, I think I am in a load of trouble!
