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!

It's the MONEY. They pay teachers to come in and teach. It never occurred to them that half their membership would decide it didn't want to join up with the new support group until now...and now they either have to allow BA CHEF to participate or loose that money for the co-op teachers.

So they are being gracious. /sarcasm

ohh, I forgot to mention...

Speaking of gastronomically icky...

PE has been having bad "gas" episodes. The last one happened Thursday night, starting at about 11:00pm. It lasted all night and neither of us got to sleep until about 5 am. I convinced him to go to my doctor Friday afternoon. She believes he has a gallstone. She scheduled him for an ultrasound Monday at noon.

Amazingly, at this point...it sounds like not a bad idea.

I gotta go...they'll be home from church any minute.

Thanks for talking to me...I can't say I feel better, but at least I got to talk about it.

What a mess! No wonder my mother was always so wary of homeschool support groups. It sounds to me like Celeste made an impulse decision; I wonder if maybe she thought she wasn't allowed to talk to you about it until it was done?

The plot thickens...

It's all about the money, just like you said. Here is my thinking...

Celeste probably feels horrid about the whole thing. She needs to ask forgiveness and return to the old group. The president needs to be prosecuted according to the law for embezzlement. If the new group wants co-ops then they need to raise their own funds. I know, in a perfect world... but it could work.

I hope she's able to see your side of things!

Try and enjoy the rest of your day!

(((2J)))Just catching up on reading all this and now your gone...

People will always...always...dissapoint us. Our husbands, friends, parents, and yes our beloved children. :-) It's hard when they do things like that when it seems out of character for them...that makes it even worse...because you trusted them. It's hard to let it go too, but eventually, you must or it will eat you up. She has to be feeling horid and wondering if she'll have friends after this. Pray for her 2J and once you've calmed down, come to her in peace and love...it will be like heaping burning coals upon her head. :-) Prayers for your group. I love our group here but am not in any leadership. I'm teachin basket weaving and macrame this fall but that's about it.

On a lighter note...big birthday wishes to Matthew! Thegirl will turn 10 in November and I just can't believe it. They grow so darn fast.

Tell Steve and the boys we say Hi...sorry I missed you...

Mrsnad

Yeah, that can be painful. My best wishes to PE!

*Sigh*

The instructions on the raised bed corners say to use lumber up to 4 feet. The longest boards I'm planning to use are at least 8 feet. I'm thinking about reinforcing the middle somehow - stakes inside and out wired together.

Guess I missed something in the advert.

He's gained a digit! It'll be 90 years before he gains another one.

Happy Birthday Matthew!

This guy

<---"Zzzzzz"

will do that at the end of the month, and we were just talking about digit-gaining yesterday.

Painful, yes. Cause me to throw money around, not likely. LOL

I've had that, ahem, gastronomical problem the last two days, myself. I thought it was just jet lag.

Is PE having really bad 'stomach pains'? My late m-i-l said that she had more pain with her gallstones than she ever had in her life. I'll keep him in my prayers, cause I have some of that gall-bladderish pain before. It is awful!
