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!

I don't know if Scarpetta is actually based on the real Chief Medical Examiner in Virginia, but Cornwell did/does a lot of her research here. Just blocks from me.

Yeah, you got that right...I had been nagging him in a joking way and then the jedis started too...it was all a bit of fun, but he got sick of it pretty quick!

So we quit.

See, I've never nagged him at all prior to this summer. And he never tells me anything. But he seems to have got the hint about that anyways, because without me even asking he's started giving me updates.

He has to turn in "hopefully" one more draft after this one and then go before a committee and defend it orally (does that make sense to you?) After he successfully defends it, then he's done.

I pray for him every day. Sometimes several times a day. The day he goes before that committee, I will have my entire Sunday school and of course everyone in the Hole praying HARD!

Just vacuumed and skimmed the pool. It looks GREAT! The pH and Chlorine levels have been pure perfection ever since we got back from ShootMoot.

Haven't heard of that one. I'm not exactly drawn to mystery/cop/detective/ME/mob-type stories. I like my fiction to be a little less tied to reality. But the Plum stories are more comedy than anything. I'm giggling right now just thinking about some of the characters. If the stories were a TV series they'd be funnier than "Monk".

Well, some guv'ment jobs require less prostituting than others.

Yeah, the oral defense is familiar. SSQ had to do that for his PhD dissertation.

Glad that he's sharing more info about it with you and the Jedis. Those boys are gonna be SO proud of their Dad when he gets that degree!!

I'll add him to our Parish Prayer list for the next few weeks to get him even more prayers!

Thank you SO MUCH!

ShootMoot was such a nice break for him...when he came home he got right to work.

Research is done, though...that's nice. No more wet nights spent in the wetland drawing samples every 15 minutes.
