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!

I ordered 10 CDS from the Website. Going to send 9 as gifts to the Program directors of the 9 largest country music stations in my state. Not a coutry music fan but sure can understand "American by God's Amazing Grace"

Here is a link to the songwriter's website

Anyone know how to post pictures here? I have a great picture from Iraq I want to post but cannot figure out how to get it out of my Picture folder on my computer to Free Republic

Get yourself an account at one of the free photo hosting places... www.snapfish.com, www.yorkphoto.com or photobucket all work well.

They'll have a way for you to upload pics to an online album that can be linked.

Here's an explanation of how to post pics that I worked up for another thread.... it sounds complicated but it isn't if you break it down and go step by step.

SSQ sent me the link to the Garret Wade catalog, and one to a Fine Tools website so I could see what to look for. The saws I got have the bamboo wrapped handle and they're double flush cut so they won't mar the floor as he's cutting the door molding

I spent the afternoon in the Kappabashi section of Tokyo. It is the area where all the kitchenware stores are. GREAT fun! I got a ceramic knife for cutting tomatoes, and a bunch of cool other stuff!

Oh man, I wish I could have taken a dip in a pool this afternoon. It is in the high 80's here in Tokyo and pretty humid. That wouldn't be so bad except that we have to walk everywhere after we get where we're going on the subway. I bought a pedometer so I could see how many 'steps' I'm taking each day. The first day I used it was Saturday, when we went to the Fireworks Festival. At the end of the day, I'd walked 17,000 steps. On Sunday I did 14,000, and today I did 11,000. I'm gonna have to keep this walking up when I get back home. That oughta help me get the flab off!

Hope the elbow starts feeling better!

Saw a couple of them plastic shower caps.

In other news, it's not a good sign when you're first thought after hitting the alarm is "What day is it? Please let it be Friday..."

Good Evening! Gina's husband just got home from work, so we're gonna have sushi that we made. Richard brought home a JUG of Kirin beer. It is hilarious! I'm taking the jug home with me to show SSQ!

*whimper*

I've been craving sushi really, really bad. I admit, I usually just get the California rolls or something equally unadventurous. But I wants 'em! Last time I had it was in WA right after the wedding.

I won Joshua's most expensive teacher's manual last night! It's the biggy, covers handwriting, reading and English. Costs $52 new, not including shipping.

I got it for $10...including shipping.

How're you getting this stuff home? It sounds great... you'll remember this time forever... fireworks festival, how neat. Are you mostly staying in Tokyo or are you making side trips to other cities/ the countryside?

Ah Monday... We meet again. You will not get the best of me this time. I even got up early and went running. I WILL get the upper hand. I admit that trick where I got all the way to work before noticing I was wearing two different shoes was pretty clever. Did not see that one coming. But the day is young and I will not be beaten!

I haven't ridden my bike much while sister's been around, so I was very happy to see I matched my best time for getting to work. My ultimate goal (in the realm of bike commuting, naturally, my Ultimate Goal in Life is somewhat more machiavellian) of getting here in 20 minutes looks possible.

As it is, I can get here faster by bike than by bus.

PS - if you can confuse two different pairs of shoes, you've got one too many. I have tennis shoes, a pair of boots, a pair of sandals, and a set of winter dress shoes. I steadfastly refuse attempts to get me to acquire more.
