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! |

We need a little smiley that throws a bucket of water on a lighthouse. :-)

I live in Illinois but my wife is in Hamilton, Ohio on business. I am going there in the morning to spend a few days with her and while I am so close to where the Maupins live, (Batavia, Ohio about 25 miles), I am going there too.
I don't know yet if I will get to meet them but if I do, I will try to get some pictures and when I come back I will post a vanity about the meeting in order to keep Matt's situation in everbody's mind.

I think that's a really nice thing for you to do. Have you spoken with them before?

Never met them and that's why I can't say for sure that I will. I don't feel easy about just knocking on their door.
I have read somewhere that they are very involved in sending packages to the troops and maybe they have an office somewhere for that.
Steve and Matt were in the same company from Bartonville, Illinois but Steve says that Matt was a recent transfer to the company and while he knew who Matt was, he didn't really know him. I might be able to use that as a way of introduction though.

Sure, I'm sure they'd appreciate support from a member of his unit that cares.... I would start out with an email.

If you meet them you're welcome to share the heartbreak of this freeper, for Matt.

Good evening from Algebra hell...
Vacation continues to go well...for the most part. Took Luke to see a children's theater production of "Alice in Wonderland" done by the theater group that does "The Lost Colony." Then went to an art show around Manteo. Didn't buy anything, but we have good taste.
Haven't been on today because Jr. has literally been on since 11:00 a.m. working on Algebra...with a couple of short breaks. Right now being one of them. He did the mid-term and got an 80%. Is down to the last two submissions that he has to redo and then take the final...by 1:00 p.m. THIS AFTERNOON. She's given him until the morning. So Mrs. took the two older boys out for ice cream.
To his credit, he's been working hard today. Of course, he should have been DONE before we even came to the beach. Sigh...
So I'm not on for long.
OT - I'm in the "Courts of Chaos" and yes, I pretty much want to slap Corwin's brothers and sisters a couple of shadowlands over...

Aww, I guess I'm the only one who appreciates their familial love and concern for one another.

Heh, I really like the word "Bad" scrawled on the image, just to make everything clear...

Glad to hear that Jr is sticking to it, Corin. Hopefully he'll remember how bad it stunk to have to use vacation time for schoolwork and do it right next year.
Evenin' folks.

Well...if you're talking to Dimocrats, they might need the clarification.
