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!

okay... just gotta phionecall from the fort...

seems they are havin' to do a 2nd round of interviews for the Range Tech job... this is the job I was extremely excited about, seein' as it involved lotsuh shootin' and blowin' stuff up...

I thought I was out of the running, but I'm part of of a vey narrow field, less than 5... seems they picked one guy, and later found out that his resume wasn't "entirely accurate"... as a Marine Officer, I got the integrity and work ethic goin' fer me...

prayers would be appreciated... my interview is at 0800 tomorrow...

I was tempted but decided I would not pick up a shoe of power, not even if I saw it laying by the side of the road.

A chance for Lil Freeper to show her quality.

This is gonna be one stressful summer...

I know it will be hard, but try not to remind him TOO often, even obliquely, about the paper. Believe me, he's stressing himself enough! ;o) Sounds like it's moving along nicely, anyway!

My sister wants me to read the Patricia Cornwell "Kay Scarpetta" books. Have you read any of them. Joanne used to be a cop/detective, so I guess that's why she likes them so well.

LOL! Is she based on a real person? I know that at least one of Cornwell's books was based in Richmond. I looked at that one, but Joanne said it wasn't as good, and mentioned the Kay Scarpetta series. I don't know if those are based in Richmond or not.
