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!

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm running on fumes right now, but should have another 25 soon. Especially since it will be their last engraving job before returning the laser.

Back to Highest Honor after that. I hope I can negotiate a better price. But we're still paying less than we did when we started.

I made a vat o chili for the Holly Fair this weekend. It was the Girl Scouts 'donation' to the effort by the school. I asked the gal in charge today if they had any left over and she said NO WAY! She took a bowl of it home Sat. night so she could have some supper without having to cook anything!

I'm glad they enjoyed it. It was quite a cold day yesterday, so chili really hit the spot!

finally resorted to some white lightning, nearly had an explosion, plum pudding lit up right away.

LOL! Was it too charred to eat after that?

good morning! Happy Monday (fwiw).

Am listening to Charlotte Church's Christmas album. Nice way to start a day.*

Good morning!

Zero degrees out there. Farenheit. So it begins...

Came the long way to work this morning. I have no desire to revisit the scene of the crime, even if it saves me a few minutes. Maybe next summer...

57 degees, fog with showers and thunderstorms likely by the end of the day.

I am not going walking this morning. Instead, I am going shopping for Christmas presents. I figure I will get in the same amount of walking in twice the time.

elf-boy's list for Santa has six things on it. I happen to know that Santa already has two of the things on the list, and Grandma has some of the list covered as well.

Mr. Incredible
Mr. Incredible costume
LeapPad Spiderman book
Toy elephant
stuffed koala
frisbee

I never was that fond of her. Something about hearing that 'adult voice' come out of that little face gave me the willies.

Her voice has not improved with time. Lots of flaws (like I have *any* room to talk) with both her voice and technique in the lower register. Rumormill has it that she was smoking at one point. Still, it's a first-rate Christmas album.

Yep, it's different! Take it from me, I was the same way. Prior to the birth of the jedis, I guess I was pretty easy-going about babies crying. Worked in the hospital nursery and everything...crying didn't bother me it.

But just wait till you have that baby and you hear your baby crying...or some other baby crying...or you just imagine you hear your baby crying! Those hormones do some real numbers on your brain and your body! The next thing you know, you've filled your boots with milk after some kid cries in grocery store.

LOL

Mmmm! Lefse! My MIL always has lefse when we're with her on Christmas...her church sells it, apparently...as a fundraiser!

That is one thing I've enjoyed about my swedish husband's ancestry! That and those cookies...sandbakels...

Every time at this season, we talk about this, don't we? :-)

I think I may need a wheel alignment...it still doesn't feel quite right, but the tires are all inflated still, which is positive!

And it hasn't tried to kill me yet today...though the lump on my forehead is still there. I feel like I can't open that eye all the way.

Sadly, it's Monday here, too. :-(

But I remembered my caffeine this Monday. That's always good.

Good morning!

I'm reading a book called "How to Keep your Volkwagen Alive. A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot" It's a riot. The guy that wrote the book suggests you get in the lotus position and meditate by the car you're thinking of buying! I just laugh outloud while reading it, but it's supposed to be the best book when it comes to taking care of your VW.

Not that I have one yet...
