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, Well 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! |

You got self esteem problems or something? Cuz I don't waste time hanging out with boring people, you know. I mean, I know you think we here at the Hobbit Hole are pretty cool - it's not like we're hanging out with you from pity.
You're a nice person with a funny personality, why on earth wouldn't people want to spend time with you?

I'm not gonna respond to this moment of thinking so little of yourself.

Stop it.
You'll have a great time.

LOL! You're a peach and I don't feel a bit self-conscious around you guys...even when I met you in person, I felt completely at ease.
I think I'm just shy, believe it or not...underneath it all.
Hey, Matthew asked me the other day (when we were re-organizing the support group) why I didn't lead the group. I told him the truth...that I don't have enough self-confidence, that a leader needs to be decisive and I'm constantly doubting myself. He said "I could be a leader." I said I knew he could.
Then he said "I wanna be a dictator." then roared with laughter!

Actually, and this is in all seriesness, Christopher, Celeste's son, says he's going to run for president. I assure you, the child could do it. He does everything he sets his mind to. Matthew says he's going to be his campaign manager!
Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

So maintaining their friendship may have national significance in the future!

You're right. It's definitely worth signing up.
*sigh* Woke up this morning and had no creamer, and I don't care for coffee black except as a last resort. But having to go to the grocery BEFORE coffee is a horrible, horrible thing to have to do.
At least I found my way there and back, and coffee is brewed. ~sip~

It's just pouring out there!! Has been off and on for weeks! Normally we're dry as a bone this time of year, our grass is burned up because we can't keep up with the watering!
It's totally lush and green! Amazing!
The farmers are going to have a bumper crop this year!

....and Christopher's taught that he has no friends on earth. Joshua needs someone to watch his back.
To: HairOfTheDog
LOL!!
Actually, it was not a legal issue. They had complete control of the checking account and could, legally, do whatever they wanted. It was in someone's private name. That's why they maintained it was just a name change.
It was underhanded, immoral and un-Christlike, but it wasn't illegal. They stole the money in our eyes, but not in the eyes of the law. We may have been able to go after them for *something*...I don't know what, though.

Well, I know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I will be watching for dishonesty and deceit, you can be sure. I've not seen anything to that effect as far as the kids are concerned, but I'm watching.

Not yet. But thank goodness for Google maps! There's a mall < 1mi from my hotel! I'll head out of here in about two hours.
