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!

As opposed to eloping by proxy? ;-)

I guess Ruthie has me beat for the smallest wedding. ;)

Ah yes! I know the fan of which you speak.

I *was* picturing a tunnel fan like they check airplanes in or something...lol! Thought "Yeah, that'd probably help a hot flash!"

What's this talk about eloping!

Trying to skive off paying for a wedding?

Heh...they attempted to have set seating for just the bridal table at my brother's wedding. Didn't attempt very hard, but as I recall, there was a general idea of where people would sit.

It was duly ignored, and everyone was happy. ;-)

Most people stood up during our wedding...the room was small and there was enough space for the elderly people to sit. We literally had to part the crowd when my dad led me in! It was great...I had Steve's long-haired hockey team on either side of me as I walked in!

We're planning to do something big for either 20 or 25.

I've suggested we call it "We Can't Believe We Made it Safari."

Wife's cousin had a HUGH wedding and reception at a hotel in Virginia Beach. They've saved their money and plan to do it all again on their 20th.

Everyone stood at mine! :~D Chairs were impractical on sand :~D

I'm sure you were all relieved that I didn't have a long-winded pastor and soloists :~D

I've got two boys. I just have to buy the pizza and beer for the rehearsal.
