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!

good morning!

been watching the wedding thing, in and out of sleep, since the wee hours. It affected my dreams. I dreamed I was actually at a wedding, and that we were waiting on the queen to get started.

Heh...I was catching up on sleep missed due to the funeral so I missed the wedding.

Which is just as well. I mean, what's Charles ever done besides hang around waiting for his mother to die? :)

Flying in Wednesday. I need to give you my new phone number! Except I'm still at the point where I hafta look it up myself. I'll get it to you today, though.

Don't have coffee QUITE yet, because the new coffee maker came with a filter that you're supposed to run water through once, and because I'm thinkin' I should wait on grinding the beans until the sleepies are up.

I've got your cell number and still have the contact info about the hotel, I just didn't remember the day. Very good then.

Any chance you'll want to stay here for a night? There's bedding to change in the spare room if you might, and you're welcome to.

I'm not sure if I'll put minutes on the Tracfone, and I have the nifty Verizon phone now...

We're booked for the whole stay at the hotel...gotta pay for it anyway. So unless things change, I don't need a place to crash. Do appreciate the offer, though!

It's an issue I've faced here too! The coffee grinder is definately a call for everyone to wake up.

She's not dead yet. I think she's getting better. She might go for a walk.

My Tracfone is the only one I have besides the phone at work. It's nice and quiet at home.

Yep. And as Margaret and I were discussing, when at the house we were woken up by the sound of the coffee grinder, for us it's a comforting sound...means Dad's getting coffee ready!

But I imagine it's a different story if you aren't a coffee drinker!

But I like talking with my family!

Besides, the Verizon phone is prettier.

I am nothing if not shallow...

I don't really like talking on phones. In fact, I hate phones. Most of my family correspondence is done through email.

I bought him a container of strawberries. He loves them so much! And the tooth fairy gave him a buck.

The coffee grinder didn't wake me up... I left them waiting for me to get up for hours and hours. I'm a bad person.

On my flight from Gulfport MS to Atlanta, last year, I sat right behind Smokey Robinson!! His eyes are even greener in person! Very nice man. He was gracious enough to stop after we landed and have pictures made with a couple of the women on the flight. The lady just across from and behind me had yanked her cell phone out just before we took off and called a friend to tell her he was on the flight.
