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!

So I go in and guess who's working the counter? The guy with the three boys in Iraq who got HH pocket knives! He just took a look at the air box and then just took it and packaged it up for me for FREE! Tape, box, label, plastic peanuts, the works!

I won't use the word, "karma", but those knives went out with our thanks and blessings upon them. Maybe a little bit of it is headed back our way.

I was just telling the boys about it. Told them that I bought the air box for a guy that couldn't find one cheap. It cost me about $11 for the whole thing, air box and shipping and all. I declined any payment.

I told them that we'd done something nice for that postman's boys and he never forgot it. I said that doing something nice for the guy that needed the air box would likely be the same way...he'll probably never forget it and in turn, he'll hopefully do something nice. Maybe not even for me, but that's beside the point. Others have been nice and done things for me and my family in the past.

I just think it's a great lesson for the boys.

Lalalala, I'm taking them to anime club's anime lockin. Eight hours of stuff. Some of it'll be good. Last night we watched an episode of that hideous live action Sailor Moon - you like that, don't you? It was too dumb for us to even mock!

Then we watched Bleach. Much, much, much better. Half of us are planning to go as characters from Bleach to the con next year.

How's homeschooling going with Erin? Clare is beginning to think seriesly about going to college, and I'm reminding her of the pile of work she still has to do before she graduates. We got her signed up for Pre-Calculus at the Community College for the first summer session. During the second half of the summer, I'm taking her and one of her friends to Japan for a couple of weeks. Clare's homeschooled friend, Erin, is moving there with her family for a year or two. Her mom was thrilled that I'd be willing to fly over with the girls so Erin wouldn't feel so alone. We're fortunate that we have enough points on the credit card to be able to buy two plane tickets. Though, when you think of how much money that represents, it's kinda sad. ;o)

Er... you know the felt is the real water proofing, the shingles are just to shed water and debris.

Yeah, we know that, that's why I called the builder a bastige!! We didn't realize he hadn't put it on there until we lost a few shingles During a HUGH wind storm. Fortunately we had a stack of shingles in the basement that were left from construction, so we just stuck them up there.

Yeah, you'll have a hard job, but you won't have to be so far up in the air to do it!

I guess you only saw the first episode or something. Having watched the whole thing I would say Bleach (which I also like) does not hold a candle to it. When I showed it to some people at the last con they were very mocking... at first. By episode 5 the mocking had died out and by episode 15 they were still watching :D

See ya, Jen! I'm logging off for the weekend. Steve is on his way home and I want to get the house a little spiffed before he gets here!

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

I don't believe you. It's an in-joke ;-)

No, I know the people who brought it last night really liked it but sorry, it's just not my thing. At all. Ever.

Bleach is about the best thing that showed this fall. Not sure what I'm going to like this season, but Full Metal Panic 3 starts this summer.

Oh, and that's not all! I forgot to tell you! I found this on the way home from getting the air box at the salvage yard!

Had to log back online to tell you that!

Do you know how to split coral bells? The instructions say "by offshoots or root division" and "throw away the woody part". The offshoot is on the woody part!

I have mangled up my two; your's is safely in a container!

Also, how many daylilies do you want? I have identified about 10 that we could bring over, but I don't want to overwhelm you.

Do you want any daffodils? They have finished blooming but I could bring 'em over if you would them.

OB says "hey"

No. I've never had coral bells before.

Bring all the daylillies and daffodils that you want! the only things I have blooming around here are weeds. (What? Don't you like ornamental dandelions?)

BTW....do you like or are you allergic to strawberries? You'd better speak before the final dessert decision is made. :)

"Hey!" to Dan. Give Gypsy and the cats a pat.
