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, if they don't want to move out of San Fran, their housing costs must be horrendous! I suspect he likes the 'cachet' of the private school, anyway.

...I still think the reason IS likely financial, because of his initial reaction...but he was courteous in his response to me and there is no need for me to say more. He knows.

Come now ladies, the last thing we need to be doing is to encourage married men to move out of San Francisco!

Ha ha!!

What gets me, and this is a bit of a rant...is supposedly Christian women that I encounter that say "I'd like to homeschool, but I just can't...I just don't have the patience."

Now if the Holy Spirit puts it on their heart enough for them to say "I'd like to"...then they ought to believe that they can do it! It's almost like they are saying "I'd like to do all things through Christ who strengthens me, I just can't."

Personally, I think they are being either dishonest, or disobedient. I run in to this at church all the time.

If I don't want to do something...I just say so. Drives Celeste crazy, but there it is. I either can, don't want to, or somebody won't let me. LOL

I think some of these women have been influenced by our culture that encourages folks to kick their kids out of the house and into school as early as they can. The culture looks at kids as a big burden rather than a blessing.

Besides, many h/sing moms admit that when their kids stop going to school, a lot of the stresses and causes for fights are gone. You don't have to hurry them out of bed to catch the bus, and you don't have to nag them to do their homework in the evenings when they and you are tired. You can do that first thing in the morning when everyone is well rested! ;o)

It does seem to be a much less harried life!

Just got a call from Wanda, our insurance agent secretary. She said she loved my blog! She said if I could get a repair shop to give me a quote saying the car is worth $2000, it would be about $3-4 more a month to get comprehensive insurance on the bug.

I don't know what that means, exactly...what is comprehensive? Whatever, I don't think the car is worth that much now, but when it is, (and it will be someday) we'll go ahead and get it insured.

"Comprehensive' is insurance of the bug itself for damage or loss. That's the insurance on the value of your car, as opposed to liability insurance for damage done by the car.

Comprehensive would be what you want right now. It covers stuff other than collision (which you don't need until you get it on the road). It would cover theft, fire, vandalism, chicken riots, tsunamis...

Rosie - glad you made it home.

Good...that does sound like what we need. Eventually.

$2K must be the minimum.

Which means if it's damaged or anything is stolen now when it's worth less, it is probably covered with your regular homeowner's insurance without special coverage. They don't make you itemize everything... they assume a certain amount of tools, computers, jewelry, even guns, and other items that would be in any house.

Oh, well that's good then!

I love my Beetle! I can't wait till this weekend when we get to work on it and go to the club and talk to other VW owners who don't think I've slightly lost my mind!

;-)

Hi all!

Rosie, glad to see that y'all made the trip okay.

I had to - eek - to town today.

OB - Passed by yer place (one of yer places?) on 12th street on the way to the Mariott. Hobbitses don't like big places. They're too full of mazes and caverns. Plus my Mapquest "reverse route" was blocked by construction. Got a nifty USB flash drive, though.

Got a headache. Don't feel like cooking but fortunately there's plenty of left-overs.

Can't decide whether to go to bed early so as to watch the funeral at 3:00 AM.
