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!

We used PeoplePC at Perdido Key last year. I think we did the 'free trial' thing, then cancelled it at the end of the month. They had local numbers for dial-up in the Pensacola area, so that worked well.

Is Nana joining y'all at the beach?

AAAACK! No. We didn't look at the houses that were handicapped accessible. She'll spend time with the other siblings.

It sounds selfish, but if she went, we'd have to cater the whole trip to her. And if we have to do that, what's the point of leaving home?

I agree. It wouldn't be much of a vacation for y'all. Glad she can stay with the sibs.

I think the other siblings can take care of her for such a short period of time. You guys need a break!

Now, accidentally leave Jr. and Luke behind, and you might have a peaceful trip.

Well, it's mostly the one older sister. But she's willing to help.

In July, while Jr. is in Brazil, wife has a trip to California. Luke will spend the time with this aunt (his godmother). Nana is ~supposed~ to go spend the time with the other sister in NC. But there's a storm brewin' that may change that (can't post it here, maybe at the chatview).

I haven't said too much lately. Nana's hip is "okay" but her arthritis in her wrist is worse, and she's more and more feeble every day. We simply can't leave her alone.

And we can't put her in the kennel with Sam.

Just back from the vet's. At least Miss Cat has lost some weight. She deserves some tuna for that. :)

Kitties have high-protein diets anyway. I think she's on the elf diet....higher fiber required.

Hmmm. High fiber. For cats.

I'm so glad I'm not a cat-parent. I was doing well with my spiderplant...
