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 reckon it's 'close' Gypsygirl is half under the desk, across my feet.

[Ramius]

There ya go... Mountains Gandalf!!! :-)

[RMDupree]

What's that?

[RMDupree]

Hi there, osage!

*waves to LSA*

[osagebowman]

Cool, TWO people picked MO. Yessss.

[Ramius]

but Corin doesn't like mountains that might explode.

Oh... it's not gonna 'splode. Mostly. That almost never happens.

Got some small hail. It's still raining, thundering, and lightening. Not raining as hard as it was, though. Water is halfway up the spout.

Elfboy does taekwondo. He likes it better than baseball. He should test for his green belt in the next week or two.

We got a Great Wolf Lodge by the NASCAR speedway in Kansas. :-)

My pic above. :-)

But there's less snow in the summer. :-)

[RMDupree]

What the...????

[JenB]

We already agreed on Colorado. Thanks for playing, please come again.

Just kidding! Hope you can make it!

[RMDupree]

I should hope so or we wouldn't be able to get there!

[Overtaxed]

But MO is not as big as you like. :)

[JenB]

I just saw that thread. Photoshop. It doesn't look like anything - the blob was pasted onto the background.

[Oberon]

Okay, I'm back...and "rope making" is the correct answer.

I guess we'll take this up again tomorrow. Thanks.

[HairOfTheDog]

If people thought it was the Virgin Mary, they'd get more money.

[JenB]

Thanks for dropping by, looking forward to a new person hanging about. My brain is less coherent now because I imbibed a glass of wine, so no new trivia questions. Ask someone else...

[Oberon]

Better than tofu.

Little-known fact about that stuff...it's actually two words.

All this time the greenies have been eating "toe foo," and didn't even know it. But we knew...somehow I think we've always known!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Both Kansas and Missouri are just a day's drive away from us, which is a big plus... another plus is, potential Mooters live there!
