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!

Well, in this circumstance, it helped us to be dropped down to the bottom bracket this year... We're still alive and there aren't creditors showing up at the door, so we did OK. ;~D

I didn't really get money back, just the bill lowered. But that's okay.

And yes, the personal call helped. I also told him I should've addressed this much sooner. But I really didn't want to change.

I guess it'd be too much to hope that Ford will call and say "we charged you too much for the truck"...

Heh, a half-decent dentist is hard to find.

Bill lowered is ok. (Gah! I have to finish my taxes!)

Heh...I like this kind of financial strategy. I think I'll write a book and sell it online and make bazillions of dollars...

And then you'll have to contact all your customers and tell them you overcharged.

Morning everyone!

Okay, last week bittygirl unscrewed her bottle in her crib. I thought maybe I had not screwed it on tight enough or something. Tuesday, this week, she did it again, this time in the car on the way to grandma's. I thought, okay, maybe it is a fluke. Last night, she unscrewed the mentholatum and stuck her spoon in it, ready to take a bite, YIKES! We decide, it ain't a fluke. Today, she unscrewed the lid to the kitty litter jug.

elf-boy ~never~ tried anything like this. I am sure he could have if he had tried, but that is just it... he never thought of it. I am suddenly having a new appreciation for childproof caps.

Anyone elses kids do this at 10 months?

It says her fine motor skills are very sharp! That takes skill! She'll probably learn handwriting very well, and typing!

Oh, and Joshua, when he was about that age, would bite off tiny bits of spaghetti noodle and line the little bits up end to end on his high chair tray...sure enough, he is learning to write a lot quicker than Matthew did.
