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!

Sorry... was having big trouble with connectivity on my wifi connection here at the watering hole. that post was about the fifth or sixth time I'd tried to actually post something, with little success.

Seems that the wifi issues are solved for the moment. Sorry for the distraction. :-)

I can't go home. 16 is backed up to I-5, and I-5 is backed up from Tacoma to Southcenter, and 405 is backed up from Southcenter to Bellevue.

I could push my car there faster. I'll be going down in the morning.

Have y'all got big plans for the 4th? Our #1 son, Paul, is coming home late tonight, and will fix breakfast for us in the morning. Then he's headed over to Amherst to spend the weekend with some of his college friends.

On a birthday note, I got home from a full afternoon of errands with Clare to find, count em, 4 dozen rose buds sitting in a box on the island in my kitchen! They are just gorgeous, and have not even started opening yet. They're gonna be pretty when they do!! They're an assortment of colors; a pretty deep pink, red, bright orange, a peach/white blend, and a lovely yellow. I'll have to get a picture. There were so many, I didn't have a vase large enough for all of them together, so I split them between 2 vases.

SSQ's such a sweetie!

Gots a big weekend planned. Although since I didn't get to it tonight, I'll have to get up early to put dirt on the 'maters.

So tomorrow a.m. I'll work in the yard/garden. Tomorrow afternoon we're taking Luke to King's Dominion. They do three nights of fireworks, so we're going tomorrow.

Choir has a special Sunday and there's a church picnic afterwards. My brother-in-law is taking me out later so we can drink and commiserate.

Monday, we gots grillin' at the pool. And we might go down to the County Fairgrounds for more fireworks. Several guys from the church are in a swing band and always play at the fairgrounds on the 4th.

I'm already tired.

Good! Now you have peace of mind and, presumably, a solution to the problem.

Yes, but I'm not answering my cell phone or reading my email for the rest of the weekend.

While I was in the ER, got a message that the chlorine pipe was leaking at the pool. They got it patched and hopefully called someone.

Then I get an email that our concessions coordinator has resigned. Fortunately she found someone to take over her responsibilities.

~sigh~

I don't need this.

Sheesh. Yah. Be out of touch for the weekend! Let them deal with their own problems.

If it were only that easy. Half of them are on vacation this week. Including the treasurer and the membership coordinator.

We'll survive, and I'll stick it out until Labor Day.

We're (OB, LSA, and I)going out shootin' tomorrow morning, then back to TheNewOldHouse (with TheSunRoom) for burgers, brew, and apple pie. Race is Saturday night. Will hopefully do some yard work Sunday and/or Monday depending on the weather. If it rains, I might just paint the bedroom....or I might not. :)

Yeah. I didn't think it would last much longer. But she waited until he got back from choir tour. He was all excited because Monday is there "five month anniversary."

Of course he'll be okay. It'll just take a while.

We don't got a sunroom. But our kitchen floor is level.

Dang! If it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.

I need a drink. [sip]

That always helps. Haven't checked the level of my kitchen floor but I don't have things rolling from one end to the other.
