The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

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!

Oh, Pinot Noir can be good! And the good ones I've had have been from Oregon....

I'll say! That is cool. You know...I think the science of it all is really fascinating!

Joshua came up to me a bit ago and said "Can you take me to store to buy some ice cream? I'll pay for it!" And sure enough, he had two whole hands full of change he'd scrounged up over time!

So we went to Aldis and he bought a box of ice cream sandwiches...It was a hoot! He just handed both those handfuls of change to guy when he checked out! The guy counted out and gave him back his change and gave him his receipt...said "Here you go, young man!"

When we got home he made a big deal out of getting everyone an ice cream! It was a good idea! It's in the 90s outside...a cool ice cream was nice!

*Whew* well that was a long, hot, dirty day. it hit 105. But everytime I felt like grumbling I reminded myself that it is much worse in Iraq and I should be grateful for having a nice air conditioned SUV and a nice air conditioned hotel room and a nice air conditioned restaurant to eat in.

And! I get to go home day after tomorrow. My hot dirty work is finished!

Excellent! What do you have to do tomorrow? No getting out in the heat?

Jedis are swimming.

Mmmm!! Shopping!

I'm on the lookout for a wok...what do you think? You think I'd like a wok?

Jen's already talked me into getting a rice steamer after the crock pot fiasco.

You know I got my yogurt maker for 59 cents...if I'm patient, I'll get the wok and the rice steamer for cheap too...

Probably won't buy much - I never do. But sometimes it's nice to just go winder shopping.

Yeah, that's mostly what I do. Unless it's an ungodly good deal.

The Dollar Store had Atkins Cinnamon Bun bars a buck a box...I bought 16 boxes. Those things are dang near $5 a box at Walmart! $16 may seem like a lot but it really is quite a savings! Like when I got those chuck taylors for $4 a pair...and I bought what? 13-14 pair? It was real expensive, but my youngest jedi is still wearing them and it's been years!

I can't pass up a good deal, IF it's something I'll get use out of. If I'm not gonna use it, it's not a good deal no matter what.

No. I think Rosie's chances are much better than that. :)

I think that should be a lesson to us all to not light our drinks on fire.

I think so too, but she keeps saying 50/50.

I think she's got the job. I don't want to get too excited yet, but it really wouldn't surprise me. I have really enjoyed how everything has fallen into place.

Oooh boy. Am getting hungry. The thing about being out in the heat is that you lose your appetite. Once you get cooled down and hydrated your tummy realizes it was ignored all day. I could eat everything in sight right now.

Am going out for one last nite of sublime NM Mexican food. This place has *HOT* salsa. We shall see if the colleagues can keep up. Muahahaaaa. (Then tomorrow nite it's TX Mexican food in El Paso.....)
