The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
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! |

See the effect antihistamines have on me? I completely missed that.

We just had an exciting experience! There was an earthquake here in Tokyo! It was about a 2.2 where my friend lives. The epicenter was 30 or so miles west of here and about 90 km underground. The girls just got in from shopping, and they were sitting on a train waiting to come home when it hit, and the train started rocking back and forth, but it hadn't started moving yet, so they were wondering why it was moving side to side! Apparently there are sensors on the track that will shut down all the trains and subways if it senses an earthquake starting.
Found a Catholic Church that's close to where Gina's husband works, so we're going tomorrow, and it is Japanese only. That will be fun!
We're going to a Mexican restaurant tonight.

I have a great recipe for a salad. It is sliced cukes, sliced tomatoes and onions (or you can cube them)and the dressing is 1/2 cup of rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp. black pepper and a teaspoon of sugar. Yum stuff!

When I was about 12, we had a slumber party at my cousins's house. Sometime in the night, we saw a hand holding a flame, like from a cigarette light outside the window. We woke up my aunt and uncle with the screaming. We found out the following day that it was a couple of friends or ours, some boys in my sister's class at school. We jumped em and beat the crap out of them. One of them ended up marrying a younger cousin of ours, and we still give him hell about that!

Hope you're having fun in Tokyo! It's a pretty exotic adventure by HH standards. (we're expecting a few pics, ya know...)
I'm off to get more blueberries this morning. I already have a bunch in the freezer so I'm going to dry some of this new batch and make fruit leather with the rest. I love blueberries.

Wife spent a summer teaching English in Japan. She attended and played the piano for a Christian church where everything was in Japanese. They would give her the name and number of the hymns in English. She would play while they sang in Japanese.
One morning one of the hymns written on the list was "Peace Like a Liver."

mmmmmm....blueberries...
We slept in here. I woke up coughing at 6:00 and almost went on to Lowes from there. But was able to stop coughing and sleep some more.

Here I am, in the Hole with my buds. Hi Suzi!!!
Steve's gone. Left early this morning to go to his office and work on his paper. Said he might be home by 5pm. Said he should turn it the final draft by the end of next week or the beginning of the week after.
The sprouter auction ends today...it's still got 9 people watching and it's still going for $10.50. It ends in about 8 hours.
Steve fixed the truck!! Yippeee!! Come to find out it was nothing more than a bad connection between the battery and the jobber that clamps on to it...he just filed it a bit, hooked it back up and wah-lah! So we're going to Walmart and he says "You know, Ted (a co-worker) mentioned I should try filing it on Monday." I got a little grumpy about that but not much...I was too relieved it wasn't gonna cost us like 10 million dollars to fix.
So I'm going shopping here in a bit!

It sounds like a thrilling adventure! The whole thing! The earthquake, the Japanese Catholic Church! It should be ok, though, huh? I mean, you'll be able to follow along during the service?
How exciting it all sounds!! To be off seeing the world!

To: SuziQ
How very cool! Hope you're having a great time.
By the way, why is it you've gone halfway around the world and your posting time hasn't changed?

We were totally lost.
