The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Giving a kid coffee is a home remedy?

Home remedies are all well and good, but just 'cuz it's natural or ancient, doesn't mean it works.

:-p

When we have people over tomorrow I think I'll make chicken curry - one of the guys doesn't really like beef. Sound ok?

Oh! The coffee wasn't a home remedy.

That was just her way of waking me up so she could get out the door to work on time.

My picnic thingie is tomorrow...so unless I can't find it, I won't be around.

Meant to tell you last night, but I forgot.

If there are leftovers, though...I'll eat either type of curry quite happily. :-)

I originally was thinking it was tonight, but I was confused. It's on the 8th. Oops!

Yes, we have, and I intend to have hubby create a page for them in our HH site to share them, but we've been busy!

Sorry I didn't thank you for them personally! It is really neat to see snapshots of what the place is like.

We're going to print a few of them to hang right next to the plaque on the wall, to show where it came from. It's a pretty neat thing to have, and people have been really wowed to touch and hold it!

I wondered, when we do post them to the HH site.... do I need to do anything to protect your name? would you be in trouble for the plaque or pictures if they got seen?

Pic on the way. It's of a little something I picked up over there. That one was on my arm. I have had them on my legs, face, hand, arm, and currently on my eyelid. They suck. The VA suspects Leishmaniasis, however have not got a good test result to date. That is what I was refering to as the "liability" associated with it. Was only joking. You can post anything I sent you, just use my FR name as you always have for privacy.

OK - I certainly want to give you credit for it, and would use your FR name... I just didn't want them coming looking for you.

As for the 'little something' egads.... what is this "Leishmaniasis"? is it sortof like staph, in that it's systemic? Is it going to go away?

It's a parasite, and the only treatment center is at Walter Reed. I just want to be rid of it.

You can post it if ya want. Dad (graybeard58) is going to wyoming here in the near future. It is still a haul to your place, but remind him that his new car gets 40 plus MPG. He was talking last week, and said that he has never been on a horse. He mentioned that he would like to before he dies. I told him when he goes west he should just keep going and then you could get him on a horse. You can help me encourage him to keep going. I have told him how much I loved the SEATAC Area, and how beautiful it is. I really think he would like it too. Got another pic for ya on the way that started all the horse talk. We took a carraige ride on the St. Louis riverfront as part of our little mini honeymoon.

I will certainly invite and encourage him to come out here, and would love to get him on a horse! We'd keep him safe and make sure he had a good time.

Are we conspiring behind his back at this point or shall I officially invite him? :~D

I'm pinging to request prayers for recovery from this nasty critter, Smaagee. It looks like an awful thing to have to deal with.
