The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

A wise purchase, Master Dwarf. I always have to turn on the air cleaner when I'm working in the basement, otherwise, I'm sneezing and coughing before a half-hour has passed!

The closing, or the journey? ;-)

I need to get some things I don't have to cook so I can pack up my kitchen stuff! After so much time spent avoiding anything quick - 'cause of the cost, mainly - it'll be odd trying to get things like that. I guess maybe I could get a bunch of stuff for wraps. That'd be relatively cheap and easy.

Didn't you have another brother who was working on Broadway at one time? I found my Playbill for "42nd Street", from when we went in 2003 on the Girl Scout trip, and I think your brother was in the cast of the show. I think I recognized the name. ;o)

What are the temps like in Myrtle Beach in mid-February? We're looking for places to take Clare's Girl Scout troop for a big trip next year.

I went through the emotional meltdown last night. *wink*

Today I'm just going through the "acceptance" phase.

It feels like I'm locked out of the Hobbit Hole. I can hear you all talking inside but I can't get in! LOL!

Me too! My sister has already terrified me with worst-case scenarios.

I choose to believe it is something easily fixed. I must believe it or I'll cry.

*sigh* After the kitty debacle, I know how bad worst-case scenario infliction can be! ;-)

Luckily that was a false alarm.

I melted down when it was merely the internet that was down. ;~D

The noise of an air cleaner probably would not be a problem. It's kind of 'white noise' that covers up any other little noises that can keep you awake sometimes, and it just lulls you to sleep. We can't do without ours in the Spring and Fall. The HEPA filtered kind are the best, I think.

Both ;-)

Do you like tuna salad? Tuna's one thing I keep on hand for those mornings when I don't have any leftovers to take for lunch.

Yep! You'll find there are very, very few foods I won't eat. We didn't do alternate meals for people who didn't like something when I was little...dunno if it's because of that or what, but I'll eat anything except for maybe...um...hmm...tryin' to think of a food I dislike!

We didn't do alternate meals either. When I think of all the time I wasted choking down beans... well, fortunately, Dad's as picky an eater as I am, so we rarely had to eat fish. And nobody forced you to eat the side dish, just the vegetables, so I could skip the mashed potatoes or noodles.

Mom stopped trying to force me to eat yogurt or things with that consistency after I was four due to one spectacular display of my gag reflex.

To: no one in particular; All
After this last weekend work should be fairly relaxing. All day (10-11 hours Friday & Saturday and most of Sunday I was in taking NRA instructor training :D
Now I am cert-ee-fied to teach basic pistol and home firearm safety classes. I knew I would learn a bit but those were really great classes.

We weren't really forced to eat anything either...not even vegetables. But I guess for the most part we just ate what was put in front of us. Maybe we were just born with weird tastebuds. ;-)
