The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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, after last night's mischeif, I considered retaliation in kind and decided against it.

Corin.... be good!

Happy weekend!

Well, I dropped off Halvah's sample this morning and should hear back any minute. I think she's perfectly normal, so I'm not really stressing. As for her, she's just happy I got what she considers real food...

Speaking of which, we were bad and went out for breakfast. There's a new diner kinda place in the town where I work - they serve Starbucks coffee, which is one reason the bothers have been wanting to go. Nice to have a good breakfast without having to cook it or clean up! ;-)

I may spend still more later today since I'm thinking of going ahead and buying that cell phone from Wal-mart, since I'm now within thirty days of leaving. I also out of the blue got a Tracfone thing in the mail for a bunch more minutes - kewl! It requires buying some to start with, but since I was doing that anyway...it's a nice thing to have.

I haven't been charged my mortgage payment for the month. Usually comes out on the first. I wonder if they're just going to have me pay for half the month and do that at the house closing. Hm. I dunno! I'm puzzled.

Tonight is an Irish music concert, if there are tickets left! Have to call and find out, I guess. At least THAT'S free...

Hiya...this is a driveby...

Hordes of people are expected here later. Swarms even. Not quite as big as a "swarm" of Klingons, but this in't K-7 either (see "The Trouble with Tribbles", ST:TOS).

There will be five adults (including me) and three kids under 10 (I'm pretty sure one o' them's under 3). Games, food, and other tortures :)

See y'all!

EEk!! Kitty solo'd in the front yard ....went exploring, she did. I went to get the camera to get a shot of her sticking her head in the foundation vent and she was gone! Couldn't find the little rascal. Not to worry, though. She came back, she's got it easy here. I worry about kitty in front yard situations: traffic and dogses and cat-fights!

Say, I experimented with the straight-jacket, but I couldn't get the hands to disappear so it looked funny.

I had thumbs on my elbows...

I had that happen when I selected something else that had hands and then went back. you have to click the body first, then the straightjacket, and don't give them any special hands or gadgets ;~D

How'd she get out in front? Is she allowed out in the back, is it fenced enough to keep her in?

I was moving some house plants outside to the front porch. I don't mind her being out in the front if I'm there, so she was out exploring while I was messing around with the houseplants. She stuck her head through the foundation vent and I wanted to get a picture of it.

I let her explore the back yard pretty much on her own since it's completely fenced in and I don't think she'd try to jump the fence.

Have you had word on the kitty yet?

Morning... well, sort of... had another bad night but that's what Saturday mornings are for. Now all I have to do is finish everything that's due this week and then tomorrow I can get with my teammates for the group project. Supposing no more fire alarms go off.
