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!

I don't have a southern accent in real life...

(I won't ask you what Becky said about me)

She hasn't had the pleasure of meeting you ;~D

I wish I was going to shootmoot... and I'm also disappointed that I'm not making it down to ride in OK. But I intend to do it later... and visit the chickens and Mr. 2J and the kids.... if not this summer, then maybe next.

I can kinda "hear" people as I'm reading their posts ever afterward.

I know EXACTLY what you mean! When I read everyone's posts, I can hear them talking.

It's weird, but cool. :-D

Who knows what the next year holds for my family...or for any of us, for that matter.

We may end up moving nearer to some of you.

I like having Becky nearby...it's nice to have some that knows what you're talking about when you say "The church down the street..." or "I saw it on sale at Doc's Country Mart."

Kinda like with you and Penny and Scott, I guess?

Yeah - that someone else knows what local thing you are talking about is good sometimes!

And because we didn't have real contact back then, I forget sometimes that Penny went to the same high school as me. Now that's a small world.

Actually I might go 'long with you since I'll miss church myself otherwise.

Wonder where OT is this morning?

I guess my folks left. According to my dad, they were supposed to leave this morning.

I'm sad that your folks have left, 2J... I wish things were better for you and your mom. Maybe the distance will mean less opportunity for offense and that will be better for both of you getting along, at least in writing and phone calls. I hope anyway!

So long as you don't mind communing with papists. ;-)

*sigh* Just had a disaster here. I guess we'll have to figure out what to do about it later.

You know the three legged tippy tall table in the livingroom? It doesn't work in a household with cats. And I know I've said it before and ignored it. This is my fault, in other words.

The good news is...the glass was only a third full.

The bad news is...it was red wine.

I forgot to finish mine last night. Guess what got spattered across an incredible portion of the livingroom?

I wiped it up as much as I could, but I guess I need to rent a carpet cleaner at some point. I'm guessing it would come up easily with the right stain remover, but right now, there are pink places.

Dishwashing soap and hydrogen peroxide will get the stain out.

Otherwise, just get some OxyClean spray stuff the next time you're at the store.

It'll come out easy.
