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!

Looks like almost 12 hours of driving time from Coralville to Ft. Collins. Do you think they'd go that far in one day? My guess is they'll stop somewhere tonight and come in tomorrow morning.

Yeah...with the stops, it was about 12 hours even just to where we DID stop, in Sidney, NE. I toyed with the idea of going on, but Dad gave us a stern lecture before we left about driving while tired, and I thought we'd be safer stopping one last time. Worked out well, too - we got to see the mountains in morning light!

though I'm not very confident in my organizational skills

Rosie, look at all you have accomplished in three short months! You sold your house, placed animals you couldn't take, reduced your possessions to either mail or take in your van, drove half-way across the country without getting ticketed or getting in an accident, had two mini-moots... Should I go on or do you get the idea?

Your organizational skills are fine; you will be an asset to any organization smart enough to hire you.

:) (again)

As for ShootMoot, the boss has given me the time and I have apparently been granted a security clearance (since I didn't show up at EatMoot with a goalie mask and a Stihl) by the Lord of the Manor.

bittygirl update...

She figured out drinking from a straw today.

Now, she won't take a sippy-cup, and since she keeps taking her bottles apart, I bought her a sports bottle. It has a bendable straw that has a one-way valve on it preventing leakage. It took her all of a minute to figure it out. Let's see how long it takes her to figure out how to dismantle this one!

Vernors makes much more sense! I need to get a phone that's not so garbling.

It was probably good Rosie didn't come to club with me. It would have been hard to understand why exactly it was half of us decided to play a card game on the floor in front of the screen instead of watching the first two offerings. And our jokes were rather impenetrable...

LOL! I kinda like how that turned out. Kinda looks like an album cover of sorts.

If only I'd actually been looking at the camera...

oh - and then have some other moron try to stuff him in a box!

Yeah, I could see myself getting un-nerved if someone tried to do that to me!

Saw one of my favorite movies on Cinemax tonight, The Replacement Killers. Vey cool camerawork. I think it's a John Wu film, but I really like Chow Yun Fat. Mira Sorvino was good in it, too.

Yeah, I wondered why you'd had burgers for breakfast, and had held on to the leftovers for supper! ;o)

LoL! It's the Lord of the Manor who'll have the goalie mask!
