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 want to go play on roller coasters but nobody here likes them

What sort of roller coasters are available to you?

End o' July I hope to be on some pretty good coasters at Michigan's Adventure, which started when a guy with some land bought a used coaster. Now it's a big amoozment/water park run by a Giant Amoozmnet/Water Park Corporate Conglomerate.

Yikes. I'm a dead man.

I'm not happy with my health status. But it so much less work to just die than it is to fix it.

Ecurb...look at that last picture I posted of the black hawks...what do you think? Is there a way to make it look nicer, finer? Better for printing up?

Any suggestions on how I could get it printed up nice, appropriate for framing?

Anything your expert eye can tell me is appreciated...if you have time.

[sigh] Yah, I know... everything's just so much ~work~.

I'm tired of things that are ~work~. I wanna stop doing ~work~.

If I retire now, and get healthy, I only have about $50/week for the rest of my life. But if I die really young, it could be like $500/week. I could live pretty good on that.

:-)

Well, I'm stewing about all this still, so I'm not strong enough to lecture you, but look out.

They're fixing to open a Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos! The indoor water park will be twice the size of the Six Flags one we were looking at, and is only about 1/2 hour further away!

Haven't seen "The Wind and the Lion" - I'll have to look out for it. Blockbuster doesn't have the greatest selection, though. I guess I must be one of very few who like older movies.

Cary Grant...

They just don't make 'em like they used to, do they?

Though a big part of it was dress. Somethin' about a guy in a suit and a nice hat...

Evenin'

Busy evenin'. Stopped by Lowes on the way home (got more dirt).

Worked in the yard. Replaced and filled bird feeders. Mowed the front. Watered the gardens. Didn't get the dirt spread. Tomorrow fer sure.

[also sent out a nasty-gram to pool bored members. basically saying "leave me alone. we have a manger. let her manage" I'm tired of them running to me with complaints about the guards]

Had to bug spray the grapevine. It was covered with beetles. They was eatin' the leaves.

Gave a particularly strong dose to a couple that appeared to be havin'...um...relations. Nobody does that on MY grapevine. At least they died happy...
