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!

Northern Michigan, like the Traverse City area, would be nice.

We also shouldn't forget in our planning that I'm still counting on Entmoot 2008 to be rafting the Grand Canyon for my 50th birthday.

I just ran a tube-sock covered hand in and out of my sneakers that I left on the porch while on vacation!

2008 gives us time to have the 2007 moot somewhere out east...

If we're doing this in the summer, I will die in about half the states you posted. Heat is one thing. Humidity is something else. And have the Carolinas rediscovered the recipe for ice since I was last there?

Let's see, what else can we come up with...

There's the Oregon Coast too, a BEAUTIFUL place indeed. And it's not that far inland to see some mountains too.

CA has Rodeo Drive, a bunch of cool museums, the Hearst Castle, beaches, Magic Mountain (roller coasters galore)...

I think Hawaii will be our 2010 Moot.

By 2010, I'd better have little feet pitter-pattering around. Not sure that would be a good plan...

On second thought, I guess 2010 is only five years... wow.

You shoulda seen Mrsnad's bite...something nibbled on her pretty hard. Had to go to the doc and have it "tended" to...

Thing is, she says she never felt it bite her, which makes me wonder "Brown Recluse?" Their bite is painless or nearly so.

Don't make me turn this thread around. It's the yankees what don't know that tea is supposed to have ice in it.

And sugar. Lots of sugar.

That said, I wouldn't do the south in summer either. Unless we were on a beach.

Then again, the Smokey Mountains. Something Gatlinburg-ish, could be nice.

I think tho, we need to:

1) decide a date range 2) decide what kind of place we want

And go from there. I'd say whatever we pick let's go for off season to get better rates. We're lookin' to spend time together, not to "vacation."

5 years is plenty of time to get pitter-pattering feet.

Actually, 5 minutes is plenty of time....

I think the place and the date is irrevocably tied together.... If winter, south, if summer, north.
