The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

I have no idea...xbox I guess. All I know is it's cube-shaped and it plays games.

She's going "Poor dog! And then you had to name him 'Homer!'"

Nobody's come to claim him, huh?

Today was much better, since Granny wasn't around. She did call and whine that she wasn't working and how come nobody was coming over to see her (because we sibs wanted to have a nice day together at the movies and we're about ready to kill her, that's why)

If Dad weren't in a lousy mood about having to work, it'd be so much better...

Nice picture. And yes, Jr. does need a haircut...

Evenin' folks. We took Luke to see The Incredibles this afternoon. Fine movie. He got a bit skeered at some parts, but did okay.

Jr's got friends over spendin' the night. What were we thinkin?

This morning Luke and I worked on his Hot Wheels "Slime-cano" that Santa brought him. We had it put together, but today we used the "lava" that came with it.

It's kinda got the consistency of snot.

Well, if he has a home, yeah.... he's a nice old guy, but change is always hard to adjust to... And someone's already got this guy's frolicking youth, they should have the expense and sadness of his golden years too.

Cause he's looking for his Home-er...

When I was working as a social worker, someone brought in four four-week old kittens one day. The mama had been hit by a car.

I named mine "Foster" (as in "Foster Kitty").

Evening Corin - and the purpose of the 'slime' is?

I couldn't figure out how the slime factored into the thing either...

Slime needs a purpose? No. Slime is good and useful just being what it is.

Clearly, you've never been a six year old boy. :-)

I swear, what I'd give for a single kind old grandmother, the sort who makes cookies and listens to your triumphs...

My mother makes us swear regularly that if she ever makes us as miserable as her mother makes her, we'll shoot her.
